Agoda and China Airlines Unveil StayMiles: An Innovative Hotel Booking Platform
Digital travel platform, Agoda, has joined forces with Taiwan’s China Airlines to introduce StayMiles, a novel hotel booking platform. This platform allows airline members to effortlessly earn and redeem miles on global hotel stays. Exclusively managed by Rocket Travel by Agoda, StayMiles integrates hotel booking capabilities with flight services, thereby bolstering the carrier’s Dynasty Flyer loyalty program.
StayMiles offers access to over 600,000 hotels worldwide, spanning key markets such as Taiwan, North and Southeast Asia, North America, Europe, and Canada. Members have the opportunity to earn up to 10,000 miles per night on local hotel stays and weekend getaways. Furthermore, redemption options commence from a mere 1,000 miles, courtesy of an intuitive slider feature that provides flexible control over reward expenditure.
Damien Pfirsch, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Rocket Travel by Agoda, hailed the partnership as a thrilling milestone in the evolution of travel loyalty. The platform oversees the complete customer journey, from search and booking to customer service. It automatically credits miles with every hotel reservation, thereby offering value beyond traditional flight bookings.
This collaboration signifies a substantial shift in airline loyalty programs. It expands from flight-centric schemes into broader lifestyle platforms. These platforms enable travelers to accumulate rewards at every stage of their journey, especially on accommodation—one of the largest components of trip expenditure.
