I found this is the documentation for the ChilkatHTTP object:

RedirectVerb As String

Indicates the HTTP verb, such as GET, POST, PUT, etc. to be used for a redirect when the FollowRedirects property is set to 1. The default value of this property is "GET". This will produce the same behavior as a web browser (such as FireFox). If this property is set to the empty string, then it will cause the same verb as the original HTTP request to be used.

Note: Prior to version 9.5.0.44, the default value of this property was the empty string.

If you try setting the RedirectVerb property to "" does the call work as expected?

I also notice that the redirect is likely happening because you are first trying to go to an HTTP address, but the system is forcing you over to s lightly different address over HTTPS...you might also want to try going directly to https://kh.payallz.com/rest/vouchers/preRedeemVoucher instead of http://kh.payallz.com/rest/vouchers/preRedeemVoucher to see if that avoids the redirect entirely.

See the online reference documentation for the Http.RedirectVerb property...
