The AA has announced a collaboration with one the world’s largest online travel companies that will offer AA Members discounts on accommodation options in New Zealand and worldwide.
From November 1, under the AA’s new agreement with Expedia Partner Solutions (EPS), a B2B brand of Expedia Group, AA Members will be able to take advantage of member-only discounts (on average an extra 10%) on select Expedia Group properties.
AA Members will be able to book more than 600,000 properties and 50,000 activities and attractions globally, plus a wide range of packaged options including flights, accommodation, transfers and activities and attractions.
AA Travel & Tourism General Manager Greig Leighton says the AA is delighted to offer such an extensive range of travel options to AA Members through the new relationship.
“Expedia Partner Solutions will provide AA Members who book accommodation in New Zealand or worldwide, with one of the best ranges of accommodation available, and more flexible payment options with the opportunity to pay at the time of booking or at the hotel.
This new collaboration complements our current Tourism Member Benefits, including discounts on vehicle rentals through Hertz and GO Rentals; campervan rentals through Maui, Britz, and Mighty; ferry tickets through Interislander; train tickets through Scenic Trains and travel insurance through AA Travel Insurance.
Now AA Members have everything they need to have a fantastic holiday in New Zealand or overseas.”
Christopher J. Williams, VP and Managing Director, APAC, Expedia Partner Solutions, says: “We are delighted to work with the AA. An extensive range of accommodations and a personalised travel booking experience is a huge driver to increase loyalty, and the AA can now provide these benefits through our Expedia for Partners template solution to their members. This new agreement enables us to support the AA as they drive long-term loyalty among their existing travellers, while also attracting new members to their services with competitive deals and activities.”
From November 1, AA Members will also be able to take advantage of the Member discounts on selected Expedia Group properties by entering their AA Membership details when booking through aatraveller.co.nz.
This is the second new tourism relationship the AA has announced in recent months. In August, it was revealed that Hertz Car Rental will offer AA Members year-round discounts on car hire in New Zealand and worldwide from October 1.
