Points Travel Adds Tourico Holidays' Hotel Inventory

Points, a loyalty currency management company serving rewards programs, including American Airlines AAdvantage, Delta SkyMiles, JetBlue TrueBlue, Hainan Airlines Fortune Wings Club, and many others, has partnered with Orlando-based travel wholesaler Tourico Holidays. Points members will now have access and the ability to "earn or burn" loyalty points at Tourico's 100,000 hotels in 4,500 cities throughout the world.

“This expansion of our inventory partnership with Tourico Holidays is the latest example of Points’ ongoing investments in delivering loyalty program partners access to even more attractive hotel rates - leading to increased earning opportunities and higher-value redemptions for loyalty program members around the world.” Said Rob MacLean, CEO Points.

Points Travel, the first private label travel eCommerce platform designed specifically for the loyalty industry, helps loyalty programs increase their revenues from hotel sales while offering new, non-air redemption options to loyalty program members. Travel partners of leading global loyalty programs can now offer their members the ability to purchase special, exclusively-negotiated hotel rates using their points, miles, or a combination of loyalty currency and money.

“Adding Points as a distribution partner is another example of Tourico’s commitment to gaining visibility and brokering more rooms for our hotel suppliers around the world,” said Jason Soss, President of Global Business Development for Tourico Holidays. “And with nearly 100,000 new hotels to choose from, loyalty programs have yet another reason to integrate Points Travel.”

Points Travel, including the new Tourico hotel inventory, can be quickly integrated into loyalty programs’ web and mobile properties to create a highly-converting, travel eCommerce offering that is program-branded and leverages the capabilities of the Points loyalty commerce platform.
