Sumitomo Mitsui Card Updates ‘Preferred Store’ Accommodation Booking Site Services
Sumitomo Mitsui Card is revising its services for the ‘Preferred Store’ hotel reservation website.
The company will end its special store services in collaboration with Ikyu.com and Yahoo! Travel on February 29, 2024. Bookings made up until that date will still be eligible for point rewards, even for stays on subsequent days.
Furthermore, the cashback rates for Expedia and Hotels.com will be increased starting from March 1, 2024. The cashback rate for Expedia will be raised from 10% to 15%, and for Hotels.com from a maximum of 10% to a maximum of 12%. The points will be applicable on the amount excluding tax and service fees, and reservations must be made through the exclusive membership site.
