TORONTO - MAY 19, 2004 - Points International Ltd. (TSX: PTS) operator of The
Points Exchange, the only independent loyalty points exchange - at
www.points.com - today welcomed Starbucks Coffee Company, the leading retailer,
roaster and brand of specialty coffee in the world, into The Points Exchange
program. Points.com customers can now turn their unused loyalty currencies into
Starbucks Cards, which are redeemable for Starbucks beverages and other products
at all participating Starbucks stores.

     "Points.com offers Starbucks an innovative way to introduce new customers
to the Starbucks Experience and reward existing customers with the opportunity
to indulge in their favorite Starbucks treats by exchanging their airline and
hotel points into Starbucks Cards," said Colette Courtion, director of Starbucks
Global Card Services.

     "The Starbucks Card is a natural fit for frequent Points.com travelers who
can find their favorite beverages and coffee in Starbucks stores across the US
and Canada. This is also a great opportunity to introduce Points.com, and
everything that it has to offer, to current Starbucks Card holders," said Rob
MacLean, CEO, for Points.com.

     By logging onto www.points.com and creating an account, Points members can
begin managing and tracking their loyalty currencies and choose from one of the
following new exchange options:



     -    Points members can convert their miles or points into a new Starbucks
          Card that is good for anything at Starbucks in over 4,000
          participating Starbucks locations. Starbucks Cards are available in
          increments of $25, $50, $75, $100, $200, and $250

     -    Current Starbucks Card holders can conveniently add to their balance
          on existing Starbucks Cards by trading in loyalty currencies through
          The Points Exchange at www.points.com. Users with a premium pointsplus
          membership can select an autoexchange function that will allow them to
          reload their Starbucks Card monthly by automatically exchanging out of
          selected loyalty programs

     -    All Points members can use their miles to send a Starbucks Card to
          anyone in the US or Canada, excluding Quebec
