PricePoints, the newest feature of the Priceline VIP RewardsTM Visa® Card, was launched today by Barclays US Consumer Bank, a major co-branded credit card issuer and financial services partner, and Priceline, a pioneer in online travel discounts. This unique points redemption function allows Cardmembers to earn 5x points for every $1 spent while booking on Priceline, even when redeeming points, to help them accumulate points for their vacations as rapidly as possible.
“Priceline strives to use innovation to make the best deals available to customers. With PricePoints, we are bringing this vision to life through a game-changing credit card program that allows travelers to earn 5x points on all Priceline travel, even when redeeming points at the time of booking,” said Denise Bialek, Senior Director, Ancillary Products at Priceline. “PricePoints allows travelers to earn and redeem their rewards more rapidly with one of the richest point systems in the online travel industry.”
To use PricePoints, Cardmembers can select “Redeem Points” and choose the number of points to redeem ($1 = 100 points). At the time of booking on Priceline, cardmembers will be charged for the entire “Pay Now” amount, earning 5x points for every $1 spent, including the cash value of the points redeemed. Within 3-5 business days, a statement credit for the point value will show on the card account.
PricePoints is designed to make the redemption process more rewarding and easier for our Priceline VIP Rewards Visa Cardmembers, enabling them to turn today’s trip into tomorrow’s travel,” said Bob Highland, Head of US Cards and Partnerships, Barclays. “We believe this is a powerful concept that will resonate strongly with consumers who are seeking easy, economical, and faster ways to travel and relax.”
