Booking.com has announced the launch of a new credit card.
The Booking.com Genius Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card is appealing to travelers with no annual fee and premium perks.
The company said in a statement that “only 28 percent of Americans are confident they’re making the most of their credit card perks.” Booking.com has simplified the rewards process by making every dollar in Travel Credits worth a dollar on Booking.com. Rewards are redeemable for accommodations, attractions, rental cars and flights.
"In a world where 81 percent of cardholders expect brands to enhance their travel experiences, we saw an opportunity to raise the bar," said Ben Harrell, Managing Director, U.S. at Booking.com.
He added, "Today's travelers want flexibility and transparency in how they earn and redeem rewards, and they want it all in one place. This card is about making it easier to access and utilize incredible travel benefits, without having to pay hundreds of dollars a year to do so like other cards, and reflects our broader commitment to removing friction from travel and unlocking more possibilities for American cardholders to be rewarded for their loyalty."
