Which Travel Companies Offer Shareholder Benefits?

Unfortunately, SAS’s Shareholder program requires you to:

3. Be a permanent resident in either Denmark, Norway or Sweden

Fascinating read Ricky. Way to think outside the box. Another reason why I like your articles.

Cool post Ricky! Didn’t know about these fringe benefits, I’ll be adding Accor to my equities watch list for some additional travel and hospitality exposure.

In January you also briefly touched on Travala, not sure if you’ve looked at their Smart Program but would fit into a similar bucket as these offers: https://www.travala.com/smart . They recently decreased the program value in April, used to be 12% APY, but the 8.04% APY is still reasonable. For the sake of an example, let’s assume price stays stable at a minimum of $2.50 (currently ~$5). This means Tier 1 would cost $625 USD and earn you $50.25/year, or $100.5 USD at current token prices. So at current prices you could probably get an annual room for free with that earn rate + the any potential upside from token appreciation. Tier 2-3 probably safely secures an annual room or 2. The Smart Discount and Loyalty are okay too, but pretty mild benefits IMO. Less than 6,000 users currently using the program, interestingly enough more than 50% are Tier 5. 6 months ago it was trading under a dollar, so I don’t doubt many got in before the token blew up in the current bull market. Here’s a pretty cool community dashboard: https://travala-dashboard.com , about 20% of bookings are currently being made with the Travala (AVA) token which is certainly significant, while only around 18% of tokens are participating in the Smart program. No affiliation, just one of my crypto holdings that I felt was relevant to this discussion.
