introduction

Travel.win is a travel loyalty platform provider designed to make it easy for financial institutions, loyalty providers, and consumer marketplaces to increase revenue and customer retention by offering a branded travel product.

Financial institutions want increased card spend, higher loyalty, and revenue growth. Travel.win aims to not only give them all three of these things, but it does so efficiently and with little risk and nominal cost. For this reason, Travel.win is gaining rapid traction among financials, including Bank of America (Launched 2/14/23), NCR (Launched 8/21), and potentially Crypto.com (2023).

Loyalty providers and consumer-facing marketplaces are looking for ways to add travel to their offerings. Travel.win’s simple white-label- integration is designed to provide valuable, branded content with ease and simplicity. This is why Sezzle, Drop, Loyalty Key, and Max app currently use the platform for our services.

success to date

  • Launched Sezzle, Drop, NCR, and Loyalty Key.
  • Generated $1.2M in gross bookings primarily from Sezzle alone.
  • Travel.win launched Bank of America in February 2023, and is planning to launch Crypto.com in May and Laybuy in June.
  • Total addressable market may be over 100M consumers

problem

The ability to sell travel-related products and to develop technology that enables the sale of travel products is expensive, disparate, and can become obsolete and out of sync with the marketplace quickly.

Marketplaces have sold travel in the past but heavily relied on third-party brands such as Expedia, Priceline, and others that generated low commission levels and little flexibility to create a customized travel store. Retailers could not create a self-branded travel store for their customers or membership base and could not create a travel store efficiently and without large start-up and technology costs.

Now, retailers can tap into the lucrative travel industry while providing a valuable service to their customer base. This may lead to enhanced loyalty and increased spending from the consumers they have worked so hard to generate.

A Mobile Optimized Travel Store

Travel.win is designed to provide technology that allows B2B and B2C companies to promote travel in their brand name or their partner's name at potentially higher commission from traditional sources and may allow the partner to choose which medium, loyalty points, cash back, statement credits, rewards, to incentivize their customer.

Partners may determine how much cash back or points to provide to end users, and Travel.win handles as much or as little of the integration for its partners. This could give our partners more control of their offering and brand positioning compared to traditional Affiliate programs where they are just selling an OTA’ (Online Travel Agent) and only earning a commission.

Travel.win is designed to fully customize our partner's travel store.

Mobile Optimized Integration – responsive site can be deployed in as little as 3 weeks for both Android and IOS. Minimal work is needed by our partners. They simply pass Travel.win a unique ID, and we do the rest. This option allows a fast Go-to-Market utilizing the years of consumer learnings while still supporting all the customizations our partners require.

API Integration - APIs can be completed within 2-3 months, depending on partner resources. With the API integration option, our partners would integrate directly utilizing the required API. Benefits of using our API include:

  • Partner has complete control over UI. Partners may build directly into an app or website.
  • Easily customizable: Ability to set margins at customer segment or individual customer level, sorting, cascading rates
  • Ability to manage payouts to end customer
  • Other APIs available: 
    – Itinerary Lookup
    – Itinerary Cancel
    – “Today’s Best Deals”
    – Cancellation Webhook
    – Similar Hotels (Cross-Sell)

business model

Travel.win generates revenue in 3 ways:

  1. First is we take a % of the overall transaction amount either via service fees or a portion of the commissions paid by our suppliers.
  2. Second, we plan to charge a one-time install fee that ranges from $15,000-$25,000 depending upon the type of integration.
  3. Third, we plan to charge our partners a recurring monthly minimum fee for operating on the platform. Depending on the partner, Travel.win can include any combination of these charges based on the complexity of the program and estimated revenue spent.
Revenue in the Travel & Tourism market in the US is projected to reach $190B in 2023, and is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2023-2027) of 3.17%, resulting in a projected market volume of $216B by 2027.

market

The estimated spend on travel products, according to the US Travel Association is over $1.1 trillion dollars annually. It is a fragmented marketplace with Online Travel Agencies (OTA), metasearch sites, brick-and-mortar travel agencies, and direct-to-consumers by suppliers and other intermediaries all looking to gain a slice of this marketplace.

It is estimated that $1 of every $4 spent on a JP Morgan credit card is related to the travel industry, and 79% of travelers using a smartphone completed a booking after doing research on their smartphone. It is at this intersection of travel, mobile technology, and credit card transactions that Travel.win plans to operate and allow our partners to capture market share in this environment and deliver exceptional value and pricing to their consumers.
