Citi and Booking.com are joining forces for a brand-new travel portal, Citi Travel with Booking.com. The new Citi Travel portal is expected to launch later this year, streamlining rewards booking for Citi credit cardholders.
Citi to Launch Citi Travel with Booking.com
Citi ThankYou Rewards credit cardholders can expect an all-new travel booking experience starting in late 2022. The bank has announced a new partnership with Booking.com, resulting in the upcoming Citi Travel with Booking.com. Citi Travel is an end-to-end travel booking platform to help cardmembers plan and book their next trip.
The new portal will offer more than 1.4 million hotels worldwide, thanks to the scale and range of the Booking.com platform. This unmatched breadth of options will provide Citi credit cardholders with the right choice for every budget, vacation type, and preference.
Additional key benefits of Citi Travel include:
- Digital-first platform: Cardmembers can easily compare hotel, air, car rental options, and more through an intuitive and modern platform, now accessible directly from the Citi website and the Citi mobile app.
- Book your way: Choose to pay for your travels with your cards, ThankYou Points, or a combination of the two. Nearly a quarter of travelers say the inability to use or earn rewards is one of their biggest roadblocks when booking a vacation, so this flexibility can make the difference between booking a vacation and not.
- Full-time customer service: Cardmembers can access 24/7 customer support to receive help at every step of the booking and travel process.
- Earn points as you travel: Purchases through Citi Travel can help eligible cardmembers earn ThankYou Points as they plan their next adventure. ThankYou Points can be redeemed across 180+ partners, including iconic and hyper-relevant brands like bp, Shell, Amoco, CVS, Choice Hotels, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
Special Launch Bonus for Select Cardmembers
From the launch of Citi Travel through December 31, 2023, new and existing customers with Citi Prestige, Premier, ThankYou Preferred, and Rewards+ credit cards will be able to multiply their ThankYou Points earning potential by booking their hotels, rental cars, or eligible attractions through Citi Travel. Citi Prestige and Citi Premier cardmembers will earn a total of 10X and ThankYou Preferred and Rewards+ cardmembers will earn a total of 5X Points.
