Expedia Unveils New Loyalty Program

Expedia.ca has introduced a new rewards program, Expedia+, that will see travellers earning travel rewards across a variety of travel products and multiple platforms. Expedia+ features no blackouts when redeeming points, gives users the ability to earn additional points when booking via the Expedia mobile app and even allows consumers to ‘triple dip’ when used in conjunction other points programs. This new rewards program comes at a time when Canadians are seeking loyalty programs more than ever to help maximize their travel dollars.

A recent survey commissioned by Expedia.ca found that Canadians love – and, to a significant extent, rely on – travel rewards programs to help meet their travel goals. Almost seven in 10 (69%) Canadians are members of a travel rewards program while another 68% say they’d be likely to join a new travel loyalty program, with Quebecers showing the highest appetite to join one (76%).

Sean Shannon, managing director of Expedia.ca, commented: “We are thrilled to launch Expedia+, offering Canadians a new way to earn and redeem reward points and helping to bring travellers closer to their next vacation.”

Shannon continued: “It’s rare to find a loyalty program that doesn’t tie you to a single airline or hotel and even allows you to use more than one program at the same time. Providing Expedia+ members this choice and control is at the heart of what Expedia.ca is all about – we wanted to offer a program that thanks our customers for their continued loyalty.”
