Travel Club

What Travel Club does

Travel Club is a Spanish multi-partner consumer loyalty program operated by Air Miles España, S.A., a joint venture formed in 1996 and jointly owned by Repsol, Iberia, and EROSKI. The program enables over 6.8 million registered members to earn points through everyday purchases at more than 12,600 physical establishments, 159 online partner stores, travel bookings, and service contracts; points are redeemable for gifts, travel, discounts, sweepstakes, or charitable donations through the Travel Club en Acción program. The platform is delivered through a website, native iOS/Android mobile app, and browser extension, with member identity interoperable across the Travel Club card, Repsol Travel card, EROSKI Club card, and a virtual card in-app.

The underlying technology is a transaction-tracking loyalty engine that integrates with partner point-of-sale and e-commerce systems to credit points automatically, supplemented by a co-branded Mastercard issued by Santander Consumer Finance (migrated from BBVA in 2025) that layers card-based interchange economics on top of the partner earning network. Travel Club also operates an integrated in-house travel booking platform (Viajes Travel Club) offering 28M+ accommodation options and 49 travel brand partners, alongside a digital gift catalog of 466+ items and a gamified "Juega y Gana" sweepstakes module.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) affiliate and referral commissions from partner transactions routed through Travel Club, which is the primary mechanism; (2) interchange and card-related revenue from the co-branded Mastercard, where cardholders earn 6€=1 point on all purchases; and (3) managed-service revenue from the InLoyalty B2B division, which provides loyalty program infrastructure to more than 30 external corporate clients. Membership is free to consumers, and go-to-market is driven by partner cross-promotion across the JV parents' customer bases, digital channels (web, app, email, social, browser extension), and word-of-mouth.

Direct peers

• Nectar (UK): UK coalition loyalty program owned by Sainsbury's. Closest structural analog: multi-partner earn, multi-redemption, large member base, and integration with a co-brand financial-services partner.
• Swagbucks / MyPoints (Prodege): Online shopping rewards portal where members earn points for purchases through affiliate links — directly comparable to Travel Club's Compras Online affiliate portal (159 stores) on the digital earning side.
• Payback (India/Global): Multi-retailer coalition loyalty program with points earned across grocery, fuel, and travel categories. Directly comparable earn-and-burn model with similar network economics.
• Aerolíneas Plus / LoyaltyOne (Air Miles): Global Air Miles coalition programs. Directly comparable multi-partner coalition loyalty model with similar earn-at-partners, redeem-for-travel-and-gifts mechanics — Air Miles España was historically an Air Miles global franchise.

Regional players

• Club de Suscriptores ABC (Vocento): Spanish newspaper-linked subscriber loyalty program with member rewards. Comparable as a Spain-only membership program offering discounts and rewards across partner merchants, targeting similar Spanish mass-affluent consumers.
• Livelo (Brazil): Brazilian multi-brand coalition loyalty program with similar partner-aggregation and travel-co-brand strategy. Comparable because it operates a structurally similar loyalty coalition in a different geographic market, illustrating coalition model in Spanish-speaking/LATAM analog markets.

Emerging players

• Repsol Más: Repsol's direct-to-consumer loyalty and payments program. Comparable because Repsol (a Travel Club parent) operates its own earn-and-redeal mechanics that overlap with Travel Club's fuel-related earning categories.
• Iberia Plus: Iberia's own frequent-flyer program. Directly comparable because Iberia is both a founding partner of Travel Club and a competing loyalty operator within the same Spanish travel/consumer spend pool.

Broad incumbents

• El Corte Inglés Card: Department-store co-brand card and integrated rewards program. Comparable as one of Spain's largest consumer loyalty schemes with similar earn/burn mechanics and overlapping partnership set (member partners are also El Corte Inglés customers).
• Bankinter Travel / CaixaBank Loyalty Programs: Spanish banks operating card-linked rewards, travel portals, and merchant offers. Comparable because they integrate earn/spend mechanics that compete for the same Spanish cardholder wallet Travel Club targets via its Mastercard co-brand.
