Wirex Launches Travel Service with Up to 65% Hotel Discounts
Wirex has launched Wirex Travel, a hotel booking service offering:
- Up to 65% discounts on hotels
- 8% cashback for payments made with Wirex cards
This service aims to compete with Travala, which has been dominant in the crypto travel booking sector since 2020. Users can book stays using both fiat and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Tether. The platform features thousands of global hotels and emphasizes a user-friendly experience.
Key aspects include:
- Special offers for Wirex cardholders
- Significant reductions on luxury hotels in destinations like the Maldives
- A focus on enhancing competition in the crypto travel market
Despite not offering flights or holiday packages like Travala, Wirex leverages its extensive customer base and experience in digital currency features to attract users. Pavel Matveev, Co-Founder of Wirex, emphasized that the service aims to provide seamless travel solutions while rewarding users for their purchases.
While Travala remains a leader in the market, Wirex's focus on crypto payments and attractive incentives may help it gain traction among tech-savvy travelers.
