Village Connect
Travel is no longer just about reaching a destination—it’s about making every step of the journey more rewarding. Recognizing this shift, SM is enhancing how its customers experience travel by expanding its loyalty ecosystem through a strategic partnership between SMAC and Trip.com. The collaboration introduces a seamless way for members to turn their travel plans into valuable rewards, bridging everyday spending with global exploration.
Through this partnership, SMAC members can now earn points when booking hotels and flights via Trip.com. For every PHP250 spent, members receive one SMAC point, which is credited after the completion of their trip. While the rewards may seem simple, they reflect a larger effort to integrate lifestyle experiences into a unified system—where shopping, banking, and travel are interconnected. By logging in through the SMAC website before booking, users can unlock these benefits while enjoying access to Trip.com’s expansive network of travel options worldwide.
This move is part of SM’s broader vision to create a cohesive ecosystem that goes beyond traditional retail. With Trip.com’s global reach—spanning millions of hotels, hundreds of airlines, and thousands of destinations—members are given the flexibility to explore both local and international destinations while staying connected to the SM rewards system. It transforms travel into an extension of everyday living, where each booking contributes to future perks and privileges.
The partnership also complements SMAC’s growing list of travel and lifestyle alliances, including collaborations with airline rewards programs and SM’s own hospitality brands. These connections strengthen SM’s goal of delivering a more integrated and convenient customer experience, allowing members to enjoy benefits across multiple touchpoints.
Beyond travel, SM continues to widen its rewards network across retail and financial services, reinforcing its position as a lifestyle enabler. As the ecosystem evolves, initiatives like this highlight how SM is redefining customer engagement—turning ordinary transactions into meaningful, rewarding experiences that extend far beyond the point of purchase.
