Priceline offers more ways to save as
consumers gear up for what's expected to be a record travel
season
NORWALK,
Conn., June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Appetite for
travel is high this summer and the industry is on track for a
record season. But with inflation and rising gas prices, getting
away for a weekend is coming at a high cost—average hotel rates are
up 14% and average roundtrip airfares are up 39% compared to last
summer.1 To help travelers save on their summer
vacations, Priceline is launching its Summer Sale on
June 20 and sharing the most
affordable destinations for the Fourth of July holiday. To keep the
deals coming year round, Priceline is also launching an exciting
expansion of its VIP Loyalty program called VIP Family.
"This summer, the travel industry is experiencing a significant
boom, and we want to help ensure that our customers are getting the
best deals, despite current economic stressors like inflation,"
said Brett Keller, CEO of Priceline.
"With our everyday deals, Summer Sale and VIP program we're helping
fight back against inflation to make travel more affordable and
accessible."
Unlock More Savings—Even When You're Not Traveling
Travelers can access savings 3x faster with VIP Family, the
newest benefit of Priceline's award-winning loyalty
program. On average, VIP Member savings on hotels are already
50% bigger than non-member savings. Now, loyalty members can also
create a VIP Family for faster access to even more exclusive
discounts, coupons, and travel perks. The program is free and all
you have to do is sign up to start saving.
While each member maintains their own private account, this new
feature allows three users to pool status by creating a VIP Family.
Individual family members' completed trip totals are tallied into
one status level, helping families attain a higher status and
unlock more benefits, faster. As your VIP status increases, so do
your savings.
