The credit cards beat doesn't always have the thrills and spills factor of other types of news, but the new Autograph Journey card from Wells Fargo is one for the books. With the launch of the card, the issuer also debuts travel loyalty transfer partners. Stella J. Shon explains what you need to know about this exciting new card. https://lnkd.in/dDgMZ_4a

At Cover-More Group we are always trying to find ways to ensure travellers are able to enjoy their well earned holidays without hick ups or mishaps. We're here to help when things go wrong but we feel we're bringing even more value if we can assist with foreseeing these circumstances - the helping hand directing you to safety at the top of the cliff opposed to the ambulance at the bottom if you like! One scenario we see regularly is customers unable to travel due to specific passport rules for individual countries...just because you're passport is currently valid doesn't mean it meets the criteria to travel to certain destinations. Make sure you check the rules for wherever you're travelling to, circumstances like those in the story below are avoidable and a little research can mean you don't end up out of pocket (travelling with incorrect travel documents are generally not covered by travel insurance) and, more importantly, ensure you get to enjoy that holiday you have worked so hard for. #covermore #worldtravelprotection #travelinsurance #traveladvice

The Truth About Airbnb: Consumer Fraud and Hosts' Powerlessness #shorts #bookdirect #directbooking #airbnb #OTAs #host #fraud #propertymanagement #hospitalityindustry #rentalproperty #shorttermrental #hospitality #str #boostly #boostlyuk Mark Simpson 🚀

This morning, I encountered a scam firsthand involving a booking on Booking.com. While at work in the Charmstay Building, I noticed a man with luggage waiting next door for over 30 minutes. I approached him to see if he was okay, and he explained his unfortunate situation. He had booked an apartment through Booking.com, and the "Host" sent an Addison Lee taxi to collect £700 (£400 for the stay and £300 for a security deposit). The host insisted on cash payment because their "office" supposedly couldn’t accept Chinese cards. After he handed over the money, the host completely disappeared. This incident made me wonder: With the fees we pay to platforms like Booking.com, shouldn’t guests be guaranteed better protection? Shouldn't there be stricter verification for listings to prevent these kinds of scams? It’s disappointing to see travelers fall victim to these situations. If guests can't feel safe on Booking.com, how can we expect them to feel secure when booking directly? I'd love to hear your thoughts. #travelprotection #bookingexperiences #customersafety #scamawareness

The basic structure of loyalty programmes has mostly stayed the same for 25 years: gain points, spend points. We will change that by enabling frequent flyer programmes to be genuinely audience-centric. #financialtimes #unitedmileageplus #riyadhair #loupe16 https://lnkd.in/e7MxhMEQ

The exposure of travel advisors to chargebacks stems from various factors in the sales process. One key issue is the power dynamic favoring suppliers over advisors, leading to imbalanced contract terms.
