Founded in 2003, Switchfly is a travel technology provider that partners with brands operating loyalty and employee engagement programs, as well as loyalty platform providers, to incorporate travel into their reward and redemption offerings. With more than 20 years of experience in travel technology, Switchfly powers travel booking and redemption experiences for more than 25 million loyalty members and supports over $2 billion in annual gross booking revenue.
As a complementary platform within the loyalty technology ecosystem, Switchfly integrates with existing loyalty and rewards platforms through APIs and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities, enabling users to redeem points, cash, or a combination of both for travel-related purchases. The platform is designed to help organizations expand redemption options, increase member engagement, and generate additional value through travel experiences.
Switchfly's white-labeled solution allows users to book travel directly within a brand's existing loyalty or rewards environment while maintaining a seamless and consistent user experience. The company works with loyalty technology providers, incentive and recognition platforms, and brands across industries to deliver travel redemption capabilities tailored to each organization's branding, customer experience goals, and program objectives.
Platform Features and Capabilities:
Switchfly's platform offers a wide range of travel options due to its aggregation of global travel inventory from over 100+ suppliers. The platform provides access to an inventory that includes:
- 45,000 car rental locations
- Nearly 400,000 activities and experiences worldwide
The platform supports flexible travel redemption models, allowing members to use points, cash, or a combination of both to book hotels, flights, rental cars, activities, travel protection, and other travel-related services. Members can bundle multiple travel components into a single transaction, while loyalty program operators can configure redemption requirements and point valuation structures based on their program objectives.
To help drive engagement and conversion, Switchfly incorporates personalization capabilities throughout the travel experience. Features such as traveler profiles, recent searches, saved bookings, and abandoned cart functionality make it easier for members to plan and complete bookings, while machine learning-powered recommendations surface relevant destinations, activities, and travel offers based on user behavior and preferences.
The platform also includes destination discovery tools and curated travel deals designed to inspire travel and simplify trip planning. Members can explore destinations based on interests and travel styles, browse personalized recommendations, and access discounted hotel inventory and promotional offers sourced through Switchfly's global supplier network.
In addition to travel booking technology, Switchfly provides white-labeled traveler support services that operate as an extension of a partner's brand.
