Many people might be familiar with the concept of air miles and similar travel rewards programs. As a lot of people have a dream of traveling, but don't always have the finances to go on the vacation they'd like, travel-related loyalty programs are appealing to lots of consumers.
Accommodations are an integral part of any extended trip. Travel booking service Hotelied offers personalized discounts based on the influence you have on the Internet. Spanish hotel chain IBEROSTAR also focuses on customization, but by offering highly personalized experiences to those they recognize as superfans.
While some travel rewards are focused on encouraging customers to stay with their brand (like the LA Live Downtown Preferred Loyalty Program), others encourage exploration. The SleepOver app from Room Mates Hotels offers incentives to sleep in different places.
