eBucks, the rewards programme offered by FNB and RMB Private Bank, has launched its new online travel booking engine, eBucks Travel.
“Travel remains one of the favourite redemption categories on our programme,” says ceo, Jolandé Duvenage. “We required an online travel booking engine that could not only accommodate the additional volume but also offer additional travel options.”
eBucks’ previous online travel booking engine was limited to bookings for kulula.com, Emirates and Avis. Now customers are able to include bookings for additional domestic carriers, such as British Airways and SAA, as well as domestic and international accommodation bookings.
The OTA is managed in co-operation with Comair Travel, which will service all bookings in conjunction with eBucks Travel. Iain Meaker, Comair’s executive of commercial distribution, says the new engine was a way for Comair to extend the kulula.com partnership into other areas. “We wanted an opportunity to leverage our travel deals and technology for the benefit of eBucks, FNB and RMB Private Bank clients, and this was the perfect mechanism,” he says.
