Phocuswright is the travel industry’s leading innovation and investor conference that hosted more than 1,600 senior level
attendees at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live this year. WorldVentures was one of only 14 companies selected to present an innovative
new product or service in the travel technology space. Mike Remedios, Chief Technology Offer for WorldVentures, demonstrated the
flye smart card in the Launch category.
Using miniaturized wireless computer technology, the flye smart card replaces the user’s entire wallet by storing multiple
payment cards in one small, secure and familiar device. Eventually, customers will be able to use the smart card globally, with
confidence.
The flye smart card, customized by Nxt-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXTD) exclusively for WorldVentures’ DreamTrips Members, currently
numbered at more than 500,000 worldwide and growing, is intended to allow Members to:
- Load up to 10 records (credit cards, loyalty cards, identity cards, and other data); additional records can be easily swapped
in and out from WorldVentures' DreamTrips mobile app.
- Use as a payment method in the same way as a credit card, where accepted.
- Earn reward points at select restaurants worldwide that can be used towards DreamTrips vacations.
- Engage and interact socially with other DreamTrips Members worldwide through its communication features.
- Be privately announced upon arrival at participating hotels, restaurants and venues for a true personalized VIP
experience.
“The flye smart card removes the ‘friction’ of travel, loyalty and payments,” Remedios says. “It allows merchants to elevate
customers’ travel experiences with enhanced convenience and security. And, with the latest in location-aware loyalty and payment
technology, the flye smart card will continue to get smarter and more useful as features are added.”
WorldVentures also sponsored a booth at the conference where staff answered questions on how the flye smart card provides
powerful solutions for boosting brand loyalty in the travel industry.
