Travelocity strives to give its customers the information they need to make the most educated shopping and buying decisions possible.

Travelocity has private marketing agreements with many travel companies, under which Travelocity agrees to do special promotions, e-mail campaigns, advertising, sweepstakes and other marketing initiatives.

Travelocity's agreements with travel companies are designed to help travel companies compete against one another for consumers' business. The effect of this healthy competition - compounded with the value that Travelocity provides through its volume - results in lower prices for consumers.

Current Proposal StrategyStrong

Benefits do not hurt bottom line

Customer must spend more money with company or partners to receive any benefits

Fee revenue is collected even if customer does not collect benefits

Weak To attain a credit card

to collect points, the consumer must be credit-worthy

Not all benefits appeal to large customer base

Not enough automation
