NEW YORK—The marketplace for travel-related credit cards continues to get more crowded than a ticket counter following a cancelled flight.
The latest to offer a rewards card is Booking.com, which has launched the Genius Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card.
“Designed to make it easier to earn and use rewards for travel and more than just a credit card, the Booking.com Genius Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card is a travel companion that transforms everyday purchases into unforgettable getaways – all with no annual fee2 and premium perks,” the company said in rolling out the new offering.
‘Highly Valued Currency’
“In today’s world, credit card rewards have become a highly valued currency, with the large majority (82%) of American cardholders saying they check their credit card rewards more than their 401(k) or retirement accounts,” the company continued. “Yet despite that interest, only 28% of Americans feel confident that they’re making the most of them. Booking.com is closing that gap with a straightforward solution.”
‘Not Complicated’
Booking.com said that instead of “complicated points systems or hard-to-track miles that are often devalued and tied to a single airline or hotel chain,” its new card offers Booking.com Travel Credits, which is said are “easy to access and easy to spend.”
“One dollar in Travel Credits is worth one dollar on Booking.com, and they are easily redeemed across the platform for everything from accommodations and attractions to rental cars and flights – all in one place, with no minimums to redeem or blackout dates,” the company stated.
