Web3 company Solayer announced the launch of its cryptocurrency-driven travel platform Solayer Travel on Thursday, 17th July.
Solayer Travel is an exclusive travel booking platform available solely to those using Visa’s crypto-centric Emerald Card.
This groundbreaking platform grants users unprecedented access to deep discounts at over one million hotels worldwide, offering savings of up to 60 percent compared to mainstream online travel agencies (OTAs).
Solayer Travel unlocks rates traditionally reserved for airlines, corporate travel portals, and high-tier credit card reward programs.
The Solayer Travel difference
Thanks to direct supplier-consumer connections, the platform delivers exceptional global hotel pricing directly to Emerald Card users.
Independent research by Alea Research confirms average savings of approximately 35 percent versus major OTAs, including Booking.com, Expedia, and Travala.
Solayer’s head of product Joshua Sum said of the new platform: "Travel is now the top spend for Emerald Card holders. By unlocking wholesale hotel rates, Solayer Travel lets our cardholders stretch the same budget into more trips or upgrade to stays they once thought were out of reach. With this launch we're making Emerald Card the premier crypto travel card.”
Solayer Travel offers seamless integration with the Emerald Card, enabling smooth, instant payments and budget control features.
Cardholders can easily create sub-cards for family members or employees, ensuring adherence to budgets while accruing valuable Emerald Rewards Points with every purchase.
