In this episode of Revolutionizing Your Journey, DeAndre Coke sits down with Lin Dai, CEO of BookIt.com, to explore the evolving landscape of travel rewards and loyalty programs. They delve into the post-pandemic travel boom—often dubbed “revenge travel”—and examine how inflation and evolving consumer expectations are forcing brands to rethink traditional points-and-miles models.
Lin explains how Superlogic’s tech is streamlining rewards inventory, making redemptions more intuitive, and highlights a broader move toward experiential rewards (concerts, events, adventures) that appeal to Millennials and Gen Z. They also explore emerging redemption hotspots like Japan and stress the need for flexible booking options to maximize value in a landscape increasingly shaped by dynamic pricing and revenue optimization.
