SM expands rewards ecosystem through Trip.com partnership

“Through strategic partnerships, both within and beyond the SM Group, we continue to enhance the value proposition for our members. This collaboration with Trip.com further expands our travel ecosystem, allowing members to earn rewards while accessing local and global destinations.” ~Patrick Cua, Chief Operating Officer of SMAC

The SM group expanded its integrated rewards ecosystem by providing members with new ways to earn points on travel reservations through a recent deal between its loyalty program, SMAC, and worldwide online travel platform Trip.com.

Under the partnership, SMAC members will receive 1 SMAC Point for each PHP250 spent on hotel and airline reservations booked through Trip.com. Points will be credited within 60 working days after finishing your Trip.com reservation, which is after your flight or hotel stay.

The collaboration strengthens SM's broader ecosystem approach by connecting retail, banking, real estate, and lifestyle services to deliver seamless and fulfilling customer experiences.

Trip.com is an international one-stop shop for travel services that is available in 39 countries and regions in 24 languages and 35 local currencies. With 3,400 airports spread over 220 countries and regions, Trip.com offers a huge hotel and travel network with more than 1.5 million rooms, flights from more than 640 airlines, and more than 300,000 tour and attraction packages.

To be eligible, members must check in at smac.ph and access Trip.com through the SMAC homepage before completing their reservation. The Trip.com relationship strengthens SMAC's growing network of travel and lifestyle alliances, which includes SM Hotels, AirAsia Rewards, and Philippine Airlines' Mabuhay Miles.

Beyond travel, SMAC continues to enhance banking and retail services with benefits like its remittance rewards program with BDO and SM Store.
