Travel just got more rewarding for SMAC members. The SM Group has taken another step in strengthening its lifestyle ecosystem by partnering with global travel platform Trip.com, offering members new ways to earn points while exploring destinations both local and abroad.
At the heart of this collaboration is a simple but appealing benefit: SMAC members can now earn 1 SMAC Point for every PHP250 spent on hotel and flight bookings made through Trip.com. These points will be credited within 60 working days after the completion of the trip—whether that’s after a hotel stay or a finished flight journey.
The move signals SM’s continued push to integrate everyday experiences—shopping, banking, travel, and more—into one seamless rewards-driven ecosystem.
“Through strategic partnerships, both within and beyond the SM Group, we continue to enhance the value proposition for our members,” said Patrick Cua, Chief Operating Officer of SMAC. “This collaboration with Trip.com further expands our travel ecosystem, allowing members to earn rewards while accessing local and global destinations.”
Trip.com brings significant scale to the partnership. The platform operates across 39 countries and regions, supports 24 languages, and offers services in 35 currencies. Its network includes more than 1.5 million hotels, flights from over 640 airlines, and access to more than 300,000 tours and attractions across 220 countries and regions.
To take advantage of the offer, members need to log in to their SMAC account via the official website and access Trip.com through the SMAC homepage before completing any booking. It’s a small extra step that unlocks added value for frequent travelers and occasional vacationers alike.
This latest tie-up complements SMAC’s growing roster of travel and lifestyle partners, including Philippine Airlines’ Mabuhay Miles, AirAsia Rewards, and SM Hotels. Beyond travel, the program continues to expand into retail and financial services, with initiatives such as remittance rewards through SM Store and BDO.
As SM builds out its ecosystem, the goal is clear: to make everyday transactions more rewarding—whether you’re booking a flight, checking into a hotel, or simply going about your daily routine.
