If you’re a U.S. Bank cardholder, you have a new travel booking platform to consider when booking your next trip. The new U.S. Bank Travel Center, in partnership with Booking.com and Rocket Travel by Agoda, will allow you to book hotels, flights and rental cars. Cardholders will enjoy special discounts, 24/7 service and more.

 

“Whether paying for travel with points or cash, our cardholders will enjoy the convenience of planning their travel through a robust, easy-to-navigate online booking experience,” said Steve Mattics, head of retail payment solutions, U.S. Bank. “Our cardholders’ travel planning and booking experience will be significantly enhanced with improved site navigation, cutting-edge technology and the security and travel options that travelers demand today.”

 

“Our technology unlocks the full potential of the Booking Holdings group of brands for U.S. Bank cardholders,” added Sarah Moore, SVP, Rocket Travel by Agoda. “Cardholders will find a transformed travel planning experience, more options and deeper value in this new travel platform.”

 

The introduction of U.S. Bank Travel Center comes in conjunction with several other offerings newly available to U.S. Bank cardholders. Now, cardholders can enjoy new cash-back deals; merchant discounts; and access to Paze, a tool providing a more secure online shopping option, as shoppers’ card information is not shared with the online vendor.
