Written by Max

💡 Eligibility: Available to all HeyMax members converting Max Miles to GarudaMiles. Miles earned via Garuda Co-Brand Credit or Debit Cards, or Buy Miles through Garuda channels, are excluded.

💡 Overview: Convert Max Miles to GarudaMiles between 20 May and 23 June 2026 (GMT+7) to earn a 10% bonus, 30% for first-time converters, and up to 50,000 extra GarudaMiles through milestone challenges.


Campaign offers

What bonus offers are available?

Three bonus offers run during the campaign period.

  • 10% bonus miles: all eligible converters earn 10% extra GarudaMiles on every conversion.

  • 30% bonus for first-time converters: members who have not earned GarudaMiles via non-flight channels between 1 January 2025 and 31 March 2026 earn 30% extra instead.

  • Extra Bonus Miles Challenge: earn up to 50,000 extra GarudaMiles by hitting milestones across multiple GarudaMiles partners.

How does the 10% bonus work?

You receive an additional 10% on top of the GarudaMiles earned from each qualifying conversion. This is capped at 50,000 bonus GarudaMiles per member, per partner.

Example: A 100,000 GarudaMiles conversion earns 100,000 base plus 10,000 bonus, for 110,000 GarudaMiles in total.

How does the 30% first-converter bonus work?

First-time converters receive a 30% bonus instead of the 10% bonus. This is capped at 50,000 bonus GarudaMiles per member, across all GarudaMiles partners combined.

Example: A first-time converter earning 100,000 GarudaMiles receives 100,000 base plus 30,000 bonus, for 130,000 GarudaMiles in total.

How does the Extra Bonus Miles Challenge work?

Earn GarudaMiles through at least 5 non-flight partners during the campaign and hit one of two milestones.

  • Tier 1: 5 or more partners and 100,000 or more GarudaMiles earns 25,000 bonus GarudaMiles.

  • Tier 2: 10 or more partners and 200,000 or more GarudaMiles earns 50,000 bonus GarudaMiles.

Example: Earning 50,000 GarudaMiles each across 5 different non-flight partners (250,000 total) qualifies for Tier 1 and 25,000 extra bonus GarudaMiles. Earning 100,000 or more from a single partner does not qualify, because the 5-partner threshold is not met.


Eligibility and qualifying conversions

When is the campaign period?

Eligible conversions must be made between 20 May 2026 and 23 June 2026. Bonus calculations are based on your conversion request date, not the date the transfer file is submitted to GarudaMiles.

Which conversions qualify?

Conversions to GarudaMiles via HeyMax and other non-flight GarudaMiles partners qualify.

  • Max Miles converted to GarudaMiles via HeyMax

  • Bank and non-bank point redemptions to GarudaMiles

  • Miles earned via Garuda Co-Brand Credit or Debit Cards

  • Miles purchased through Garuda channels (Buy Miles)

Can I qualify for both the 10% and 30% bonuses?

No. The 30% first-converter bonus replaces the 10% bonus for eligible members. All other members earn the standard 10%.

Can I convert more than once during the campaign?

Yes. You can convert Max Miles to GarudaMiles multiple times during the campaign period, and each eligible conversion counts toward the bonuses, subject to the per-member caps.


Crediting and timing

When will I receive my bonus GarudaMiles?

Bonus GarudaMiles are credited no later than 60 days after the campaign ends, by 22 August 2026. The bonus is calculated and issued by GarudaMiles directly.

How long are the bonus GarudaMiles valid?

Bonus GarudaMiles are valid for 12 months from the date they are credited to your GarudaMiles account.

What is the deadline for claims?

Claims for missing bonus miles must be submitted to GarudaMiles by 30 September 2026.


Common questions

What counts as a first-time converter?

A first-time converter is a GarudaMiles member who has not earned any GarudaMiles through any GarudaMiles non-flight partner between 1 January 2025 and 31 March 2026. Miles earned via Garuda Co-Brand Credit or Debit Cards and Buy Miles through Garuda channels do not affect eligibility.

Does the 50,000-mile cap apply per conversion?

No. For the 10% bonus, the cap is 50,000 per member, per partner across all conversions during the campaign. For the 30% bonus, the cap is 50,000 per member across all GarudaMiles partners combined.

Can I combine the 10% or 30% bonus with the Extra Bonus Miles Challenge?

Yes. The Extra Bonus Miles Challenge stacks on top of the 10% or 30% bonus, provided you meet the partner-count and miles thresholds.

Do conversions before 20 May or after 23 June count?

No. Only conversions with a transaction date between 20 May 2026 and 23 June 2026 (inclusive) qualify, regardless of when the transfer file is sent.

What if there is an error with my conversion date?

If the recorded transaction date is incorrect and falls outside the campaign window, the bonus will be charged to the responsible partner. Contact HeyMax support if you believe your conversion was misrecorded.

I should have qualified as a first-time converter but received only 10%

Eligibility for the 30% bonus is determined by GarudaMiles based on your non-flight earning history. If you believe there is an error, contact HeyMax support and we will raise an enquiry with GarudaMiles.
