BUZZEBEES teams up with Agoda to introduce "Pay with Points" for accommodation bookings


BUZZEBEES has partnered with digital travel platform Agoda, through its strategic arm Rocket Travel by Agoda, to launch its ‘Pay with Points’ feature for travel accommodation bookings on Agoda. Users who have accumulated points from BUZZEBEES’ first five partners, namely The Mall Group, Don Muang Tollway, Nestle Waters Online, Mead Johnson and Syngenta, will be able to redeem accommodation bookings, partially or fully, via Agoda’s 4.5 million properties worldwide.

“As Thailand’s top comprehensive CRM & digital engagement platform, we understand that loyalty programs have become essential for businesses to attract, retain, and build strong customer relationships in Thailand,” said Mr Warote Nguitragool, chief commercial officer of BUZZEBEES. “We are excited that this new partnership with Rocket Travel by Agoda will go the extra mile and allow our partners’ most loyal customers to see the world for less.”

This partnership combines the appeal of loyalty programs for consumers and special deals. According to Market Splash, 75% of consumers prefer brands that offer loyalty programs. Customers participating in a brand’s loyalty points program tend to spend 12-18% more per year. By leveraging Rocket Travel by Agoda to integrate Agoda’s extensive accommodation options with BUZZEBEES’ loyalty platform, BUZZEBEES aims to provide consumers with a superior booking experience and a large selection of accommodation choices.

“At Agoda, we are passionate about providing customers the best possible deals and determined to offer them the choice to use any payment method they prefer: credit cards, QR codes, wallets or points from their favorite loyalty programs for discounts,” said Mr Damien Pfirsch, chief commercial officer at Agoda., We are delighted that this new partnership with BUZZEBEES allows us to offer more options to customers in Thailand, leveraging our respective technologies to enable a seamless redemption experience.”

To enjoy this new feature, users simply need to click the ‘Pay with Points’ banner on their respective partner applications or on the partner LINE profile. The user will then be redirected to a co-branded page powered by Agoda with a discount auto applied on checkout. To make this experience even more seamless, BUZZEBEES has enhanced its backend system integration between its partners and Agoda. This is part of existing plans by BUZZEBEES to further develop seamless connectivity and make it easier for users to enjoy discounts with multiple partners.
