Travelocity Credit Card Promises Easier Point Redemption

Online travel site Travelocity has launched the Travelocity

Rewards MasterCard, a rewards point credit card that it says

offers easier redemptions than other travel credit cards. Cardholders

receive double points on purchases at Travelocity and one point

per dollar for purchases elsewhere. Points can be used for either

free tickets or for direct cash discounts on flights.

Points

can be redeemed online for travel on any airline, hotel, car

rental company, or travel package available on Travelocity at

any time, so no blackout dates or restrictions apply. In addition,

Travelocity promises an easier redemption process, requesting

any point redemptions within the general reservation process

(similar to using a gift certificate) instead of requiring a

special phone call or other process for redemptions.

Customers

canb start redeeming at the 5,000-point level, with 5,000 points

equalling a $50 discount. Discounts get higher as more points

are redeemed, including:

• 20,000

   

  points = A free flight worth up to $400, or $400 off travel

  package, hotel stays or car rentals

• 15,000

   

  points = $200 credit

• 12,500

   

  points = $150 credit

• 7,500

   

  points = $100 credit

The Travelocity

Rewards MasterCard is issued by Barclays Bank Delaware (formerly

Juniper Bank).
