Mastercard Strengthens Collaboration with Booking.com
In an effort to enhance customer experiences and provide more benefits to its cardholders, Mastercard has
announced a strengthened collaboration with Booking.com.
The partnership will allow Mastercard users to enjoy exclusive privileges and discounts on bookings made
through the popular online travel platform. By leveraging Mastercard’s global payment network and Booking.com’s wide range of accommodations, this collaboration aims to provide travelers with a seamless and rewarding experience.
One of the key aspects of this collaboration is the introduction of a new loyalty program called “Mastercard
Travel Rewards.” This program will provide Mastercard users with additional travel benefits such as room
upgrades, complimentary breakfast, and early check-in or late check-out options.
Both companies are excited about the opportunities this collaboration brings to their customers. Linda Kirkpatrick, President of North America at Mastercard said, “We aim to provide our cardholders with unique and unforgettable experiences, and this collaboration with Booking.com aligns perfectly with our goal.”
Mastercard users who hold Gold, Platinum, or World Elite Mastercard cards will automatically be enrolled in
the Mastercard Travel Rewards program and can start enjoying these benefits on their next Booking.com
reservation.
Booking.com’s Chief Marketing Officer, Arjan Dijk, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration as well, stating, “Our mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world, and with Mastercard’s extensive reach and expertise in payments, we can provide even more value to our mutual customers.”
With travel restrictions easing in many parts of the world, this collaboration comes at a perfect time for
eager travelers looking to explore new destinations and have a seamless booking experience. Both Mastercard
and Booking.com strive to make travel effortless and rewarding, and their strengthened collaboration is a
testament to that commitment.
Cardholders can look forward to exciting promotions, discounts, and personalized travel recommendations as
part of this partnership.
