🎊 Celebrating 100,000 Smart Members! 🎉
Today marks an exciting milestone for the AVA Smart Program — 100,000 Smart Members are now part of this crypto-native travel loyalty ecosystem on Travala! 🌍✈️
Since its inception in 2018, the AVA Smart Program has rewarded frequent travellers with travel discounts, crypto givebacks, bonuses, and prizes, distributing over $15 million+ in total value across members.
Thank you to all the travellers and supporters who have made this journey possible. 🥂
🛫 What Is the AVA Smart Program?
The AVA Smart Program is Travala’s blockchain-based loyalty and rewards system, powered by the AVA token. Membership enhances the travel booking experience by giving crypto enthusiasts and frequent travellers:
- Direct travel discounts on hotels, flights, and activities
- Up to 10% back in rewards (AVA tokens, Bitcoin, or travel credits) after completed trips
- Smart Bonus rewards on locked AVA quarterly
- Tiered benefits that grow as members advance through Smart levels :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
In total, Smart members can enjoy up to 13% savings and perks when combining discounts and rewards.
📈 How the Numbers Add Up
Since launching in 2018, the program has steadily grown in scale and value:
- 100,000+ Smart Members and growing — a strong community of crypto travellers leveraging Web3 rewards.
- $15M+ distributed in rewards, discounts, bonuses & prizes — including AVA tokens, Bitcoin givebacks, and travel credits.
- Multiple millions of AVA tokens have been distributed through Smart givebacks as the core reward currency.
Past data from Travala highlights ongoing engagement:
- In January 2025, approximately 48,359 Smart members had locked about 9,045,000 AVA tokens, showing strong participation in the locked-token reward structure.
- That same month included significant giveback rewards in AVA and BTC for completed travel bookings — proof that members were actively using their memberships to save, earn, and travel.
This progression suggests a compound growth pattern: as more travellers discover crypto payments and rewards, membership and locked value have trended upward year by year.
💡 What Members Appreciate (and What Reviews Reveal)
Although the official report doesn’t include individual testimonials, community feedback across travel and crypto platforms reflects common themes about the Smart Program:
- Many travellers enjoy the ability to use AVA, BTC, or travel credits as givebacks — especially when they can choose BTC on high tiers.
- Members frequently mention meaningful discounts and effective usage of AVA for bookings, which enhances overall travel savings.
- Some long-term Smart members appreciate quarterly bonus incentives tied to locking AVA and platform engagement activities.
At the same time, higher tiers and maximum benefits require more AVA locked — indicating that the program rewards deeper commitment and long-term loyalty.
🧭 The Bigger Picture: Crypto Travel Rewards Evolving
The success of the AVA Smart Program mirrors broader trends in the Web3 travel ecosystem:
- More travellers are turning to blockchain-based incentives to save on bookings and get rewards in crypto.
- Loyalty programs with tokenized rewards — similar to decentralized finance models — are attracting users who value self-custody, reduced friction, and transparent rewards mechanics.
- Travala remains a pioneer in this niche by bridging mainstream travel bookings with crypto rewards in a scalable way.
Unlike traditional loyalty systems locked into a single airline or hotel chain, the AVA Smart Program is agnostic, flexible, and open to diverse crypto users — empowering members to choose how they receive and use rewards.
🗺️ Looking Ahead
Reaching 100,000 Smart Members is not just a numeric achievement — it reflects a growing crypto-travel community that values:
- Real utility — discounts, travel savings, and rewards
- Crypto integration — use of AVA, Bitcoin, and stablecoin rewards
- Long-term participation — locked AVA and tier-based benefit models
As the broader crypto market continues to mature, loyalty platforms like AVA Smart are likely to play an increasingly central role in bridging everyday spending with crypto incentives.
Thank you again to every Smart member who has booked, locked AVA, and travelled with rewards — here’s to the next milestone! 🚀✈️📍
