Runa highlighted its partnership with UK travel agency Inspire Travel in January 2025, presenting TravelCards as a reward option for employees and customers. The cards can be used towards travel and related bookings, with recipients able to combine multiple cards for a larger purchase.
The booking range described in the announcement includes flights, hotels, car hire, cruises, tours, UK breaks and city stays. It also extends to attractions, excursions, airport parking, lounge passes and event tickets, giving the recipient choices beyond one type of holiday package.
Runa said Inspire Travel had recently introduced local-language booking sites and euro-denominated cards in French, Spanish, German, Italian and Polish. Each site was described as carrying offers adapted to its market.
The article also said funds were held in an independent trust account. It did not explain the detailed trust terms in the announcement, so that statement concerns the arrangement described by the companies rather than a separate assurance about every possible booking outcome.
In discussing travel demand, Runa reported that Inspire Travel had seen a 300% year-over-year increase in cruise bookings. The article did not specify the dates covered by that comparison. Other themes included family holidays, domestic breaks, luxury travel and experience-led itineraries.
The offering gives reward programme operators a way to distribute travel value while leaving the recipient to select the trip or experience. Runa directed customers to its team to incorporate TravelCards into their programmes.
