Dear xxxx,
Congratulations! As a loyal and valued Travelocity customer, you've been selected to receive a limited time special offer for the Travelocity® Rewards American Express® Card:
- Up to 25,000 bonus points - a $450 value. 10,000 points after your first purchase, 10,000 points after you spend $500 in the first 60 days after account opening, and up to 5,000 more with a qualifying initial balance transfer
- Up to 10% back on Travelocity purchases - an industry best value!
- No blackout dates or restrictions.
- Points can be redeemed for Flights, Hotels, Vacation Packages, and Car Rentals.
- Low annual fee of $39.
- 5 points per $1 on travelocity purchases
- 2 points per $1 on gas, groceries, and restaurants
- 1 point per $1 on all other purchases
Travelocity points are worth 2 cents each when redeemed in increments of $400 ($400, $800, $1200, etc.) towards purchases on travelocity.com. That's a 10% return on travelocity purchases and a 4% return on gas, groceries, and restaurants.
There is also a no annual fee version that offers:
Earn up to 15,000 Bonus Points ($150 value): 5,000 points after first purchase, 5,000 after you spend $500 within 60 days of opening account, up to 5,000 with a qualifying initial balance transfer
Earn 3 points on Travelocity purchases, 1 point on all other purchases
That's 6% back on your Travelocity purchases!
I'm not sure if this is a consolation prize for people not qualified for the better card or if you can opt for this one instead. There seems to be only one application link and no way to indicate which offer you prefer. This one may be best to call in (1-800-307-0341) and apply for to confirm the offer first.
