New travel platform for credit cardholders elevates U.S. Bank Travel Center with Booking.com as a preferred choice for cardholders
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 18, 2024--
U.S. Bank has unveiled a new travel booking platform for U.S. Bank credit cardholders to reserve hotels, flights and rental cars. The U.S. Bank Travel Center with Booking.com, powered by Rocket Travel by Agoda, elevates travel planning and booking experiences through Rocket Travel by Agoda’s advanced booking technology and global online travel planning expertise and support.
“Whether paying for travel with points or cash, our cardholders will enjoy the convenience of planning their travel through a robust, easy-to-navigate online booking experience,” said Steve Mattics, head of U.S. Bank Retail Payment Solutions. “Our cardholders’ travel planning and booking experience will be significantly enhanced with improved site navigation, cutting-edge technology, and the security and travel options that travelers demand today.”
Part of the bank’s efforts to continuously improve its credit card rewards and benefits experience, the U.S. Bank Travel Center with Booking.com will provide cardholders with special travel discount offers, 24x7 servicing, and same day booking capability. In addition to this new Travel Center, cardholders will be able to access several new cardholder rewards and benefits, including cash-back deals, merchant discount offers and Paze℠, an online checkout solution that, through tokenization, provides added security to transactions because the actual card number is not shared with merchants.
Cardholders will also have more travel options, thanks to U.S. Bank’s partnership with Rocket Travel by Agoda. As the strategic partnerships arm of Agoda, Rocket Travel by Agoda has access to more than 2.4 million properties worldwide from across the Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) group of brands.
“Our technology unlocks the full potential of the Booking Holdings group of brands for U.S. Bank cardholders,” said Sarah Moore, senior vice president of Rocket Travel by Agoda. “Cardholders will find a transformed travel planning experience, more options, and deeper value in this new travel platform.”
