February 24, 2011 (Honolulu, Hawaii) — Imagine Travel announced the official release of a new travel rewards program called “tPoints”.  The program has been available in beta to a select group of members over the last several months as the company worked to ensure all features of the rewards program were functioning as expected. As of today’s announcement, the company stated the beta release of the program has been a success, and the travel rewards program is officially open to the general public.  There are currently no requirements to join the program and it is completely free.

The rewards program allows participants to earn rewards points, called “tPoints”, through a number of different ways which mainly includes participating in Imagine Travel’s online community in some way or another.  Participants who accumulate tPoints can use them towards discounts on reservations for hotels, car rentals, airline tickets, travel activities, tours, cruises and various other types of travel accommodations.  There is no expiration date on earned tPoints so participants can accumulate the travel points for as long as they want without having to worry about losing them if not consumed within a given period.

“Our tPoints Travel Rewards Program is unique in that members who actively participate in our online community can earn free tPoints just by engaging in conversation with other members in our travel community at Imagine Travel.  It’s something participants are already doing on a regular basis, so this is just an added bonus for being a loyal and active participant in our community”, said Mr. Loytano, PR manager of Imagine Travel.  Mr. Loytano added, “Other ways tPoints members can earn travel points include participating in regularly run contests which give away free tPoints, or by taking advantage of special promotions for travel accommodations which give away tPoints as a bonus.  We’re currently in the process of working with travel suppliers who are interested in sponsoring our rewards program by offering discounts or prizes through the contests we run for participants.  This is a great way for travel companies like hotels, airlines, rental car companies or any other type of travel businesses to market themselves to our travel community.  We believe our rewards program will benefit all participating parties which include our company, the travel suppliers who sponsor the program, and of course the participants in the actual program”.

Since its inception as an online travel and vacation guide, Imagine Travel has built an avid community of travelers who actively interact with one another to share travel tips, vacation experiences and destination information for places around the world.  The company envisions with the release of its tPoints Travel Rewards Program it will be able to engage and interact more with the online community on a more personal basis and create a closer sense of community by offering interactive contests which give away rewards, prizes and travel discounts.  By releasing a loyalty rewards program the company hopes to increase its brand identity to both travel suppliers and travel consumers while at the same time offering benefits to all parties who participate in the travel rewards program.
