Expedia rolled out a rewards program for
customers that is effectively an expansion of Citigroup's existing
ThankYou Network.
Expedia, as the
ThankYou Network's exclusive travel partner, launched a component
that allows customers to earn ThankYou rewards for booking travel
at Expedia. In addition, Expedia is powering the redemption of
travel rewards at ThankYouNetwork.com.
ThankYou members
earn points by using eligible Citigroup credit cards and by
maintaining an eligible checking account. They also can earn points
for shopping at ThankYouNetwork.com.
In the enhanced
version, members of the free rewards program will earn points when
booking air-hotel packages, hotels, cruises and activities on
Expedia, regardless of which credit or debit card they use. They
will earn more points if they buy travel with an eligible Citibank
credit or debit card. Members can redeem points for a variety of
goods and services, including travel.
When redeeming
points for travel, members can book flights, hotels and packages
with no blackout periods, advance-purchase rules or limited-seat
availability on flights or other services, Expedia said.
