The second service allows POWER PASS members to convert accumulated CARAT points into Royal Orchid Plus Miles (ROP MILE), exchanging for up to 1,000 miles from now through July 31, 2025. The redemption process is simple: log into POWER PASS, select Rewards, click Redeem and Confirm, and receive confirmation via SMS or email. New members who spend 25,000 baht or more on their registration day receive complimentary access to THE ATLAS CLUB lounge at King Power Rangnaam and Suvarnabhumi Airport.

The third offering is "Perfume Picks of the Season," running through June 30, 2025, featuring top seasonal fragrances at exclusive prices from premium brands. Shoppers spending 8,000 baht or more per receipt receive discounts up to 30%. The promotion encourages travelers heading to destinations like Kamikochi in Nagano Prefecture—a stunning national park in Japan's Northern Alps open April-November annually, featuring the pristine Taichō lake and the popular Kappa Bridge photo spot—to stock up on fragrances before departure. POWER PASS members accumulate CARAT points with every purchase, which can be converted to airline miles for flights worldwide.
