First Bitcoin Capital Corp Broadens Disruption of Loyalty Industry Placing 110 Token Rewards Points on Blockchain; Launches Loyalty Coin ICO with the Symbol FLY

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 13, 2017 / CoinQx Exchange LIMITED, a wholly owned subsidiary of FIRST BITCOIN CAPITAL CORP (OTC PINK: BITCF ) or “Company”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”) expanded its blockchain loyalty program to include 100 of the top airlines and 10 of the top Hotel Chains using their industry codes as token symbols on the Bitcoin Blockchain for each.

The company released its 3^rd Initial Coin Offering as a master loyalty coin so that all of the above mentioned 110 tokens will be exchangeable to one central coin, naming it Loyalty with the symbol FLY. In order to acquire FLY coin, anyone that sends 1 President Trump (PRES) coin to the Company’s Omni Layer Bitcoin Wallet will receive 1 FLY coin into their Omni Wallet via sending PRES to: 1FwADyEvdvaLNxjN1v3q6tNJCgHEBuABrSIn order to insure receipt of the FLY coin upon transferring PRES to the company’s address, be sure to log into your own personal Omni Wallet address and not an exchange provided wallet as they may not be prepared to credit those FLY to the sender’s account. After 6 confirmations, the LOYALTY (FLY) coin will arrive in your personal Omni Wallet. This process is fully automated and requires no manual processing by the issuer of FLY coin. In order to save BTC fees when purchasing LOYALTY (FLY) it is best (when utilizing your personal wallet) to click on Explorer, then look for and click on Active Crowdsales, then look for and click on FLY, then look for and click on PARTICIPATAE and proceed to place the amount of PRES to send and for the fees type in .0001

The creation of FLY coin can be witnessed here: https://omniexplorer.info/lookupsp.aspx?sp=309

In order to track the maturity date of this ICO kindly see further details below, and note that the crowdsale cannot be accessed directly from the below URL rather follow the instructions above: https://www.omniwallet.org/assets/details/309

The early bird bonus of 25% reduces to 20% the second week, 15% the third week, 10% the fourth week and 5% the final, fifth week, when the ICO closes. A bonus of 10% of all coins sold will belong to The Company while the 90% will be held by the participants and the Company intends to participate as well. It is rare to find an ICO that doesn’t amass a greater percentage to the issuers and organizers.

Management expects to have FLY listed on several exchanges in the immediate future, including its subsidiary, COINQX.com so that those unable to send PRES to acquire FLY may also participate and so that secondary trading may ensue.

FLY coin utilizes the same Omni protocols as our recently launched WEED coin ICO, which yielded 79,959,942.0324852 from the Company’s participation including the 6,045,726 earned WEED coins adding this asset to the Company’s main wallet.

“We chose PRES as a medium of exchange for speculators to invest in FLY since it enjoys a growing popularity and trades on both C-cex.com, Livecoin.net as well as our CoinQX.com.”

The reward points business for the travel industry alone is so staggering in size that according to (Maritz)

$48 Billion worth of points and airline miles are classified as unredeemed.

Already trillions of reward points have been issued and redeemed worldwide for all industries.

In order to capitalize on this booming industry, our CEO, Dr. Greg Rubin, an inventor with several patents approved by the USPTO has filed on our behalf a provisional patent that is designed to grant protection from competitors placing rewards points on a blockchain.

We have now issued many more billions of rewards points on the bitcoin blockchain to be redeemed by the future clients of a new travel agency that First Bitcoin is in the process of rolling out soon via www.BitClassTravel.com having already posted a travel agency bond with the State of California.

What makes our reward points unique is that they can be bought and sold in cryptocurrency markets. We anticipate that our competitors will find their travel agencies accepting our rewards tokens in order to compete. A secondary market could emerge for this new form of reward points as digital currencies. Complete details of the usages and crypto miles issued will soon be found at http://AIRmilesQX.com

In addition to being the first publicly trading company in the blockchain space, First Bitcoin has distinguished itself as a crypto leader capable of moving ahead of its competitors to roll out new endeavors so much so that our crypto reward tokens are already tradeable as altcoins on the OMNIDEX against some of the leading cryptocurrencies such as Tether, MaidSafeCoin, Omni, including all altcoins our subsidiary has issued on the Bitcoin Blockchain, to date. Many of these new mileage coins will be tradeable on our subsidiary cryptocurrency exchange, CoinQX.com, against more than 100 crypto and fiat currencies, including Bitcoin.

AIRmilesQX will change forever frequent travel loyalty programs.

Many airlines offer frequent-flyer loyalty programs to encourage customers to accumulate “miles” which airline customers can redeem to purchase air travel or other rewards. Points, or miles earned though those programs are based on complex rules, like class of fare, distance, season or the amount paid. There are also many other ways to earn points. For example, credit card issuers partner with airlines and award loyalty points or miles based on customer’s credit card usage. Points can be redeemed for air travel, ticket upgrades, booking hotels, car rentals, magazine subscriptions etc.

Frequent-flyer program points are in essence a type of virtual currency, but unfortunately, it was a one-way process – people could purchase points with national currencies, but were not able to exchange back into those currencies.

Airline miles programs go back to the early 70’s when United Airlines began to reward loyal customers with points that could be accumulated and later could be used to pay for air travel. Their programs have evolved over the last 20 years, but it is not easy to use those programs.

When travelers actually try to book a flight, they encounter major hurdles, like blackout dates (days when award seats are limited or unavailable). Every airline program has its own policies, procedures, restrictions, etc. Also, airlines and credit card issuers are constantly changing the rules and policies. Several Airlines, for example, recently increased the minimum number of miles needed to book some of their flights.

Research published by COLLOQUY, a leading provider of loyalty marketing research in 2015 indicates that U.S. consumers hold 3.3 billion memberships in customer loyalty programs, a 26% increase over the number of memberships reported in COLLOQUY’s prior census study in 2013. The 2015 Census shows that specialty store loyalty memberships now total 434 million, exceeding airline frequent flyer memberships (356 million) for the first time, placing second only to credit card reward programs, which account for 578 million memberships.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics, year over year air travel increased by 5.5% from 2015 to 2016. COLLOQUY survey found that a little more than half of Americans – 55% – have taken a flight for business or leisure purposes in the past two years. And three-fourths of respondents, 75%, said their most recent flight was within the past six months.

Another noteworthy statistic is that 60% of frequent traveler miles issued today are not earned but instead purchased.

Points accumulating in loyalty programs globally are considered by some as real currencies with increasing value that has attracted the attention of criminals, according to Barry Kirk, vice president of Loyalty Solutions for Maritz Motivation Solutions. In the US alone, 3.3 billion loyalty program memberships have stored points and miles worth an estimated $48 billion, according to the Gartner Group.

BLOCKCHAIN will CHANGE customer loyalty programs forever by giving more control to rewards owners and reducing fraud through the transparency of blockchain technologies.

First Bitcoin Capital Corp trading on the OTC Markets as BITCF has developed a unique Blockchain-based airline miles platform, allowing people to buy/exchange/trade/transfer miles without any restrictions, blackout days or other cumbersome rules that airlines impose on their programs.
