Online auction site uBid announced a new program that allows customers to purchase travel-related services through the uBid website. uBid, part of the Petters Group, is providing travel inventory through a private label, uBid certified merchant that has exclusive access to negotiated bulk airfare and travel discounts.
uBid also launched a rewards program designed exclusively for uBid travel customers. The initial reward offering is a 10% rebate off a buyer's next winning bid on any product auction at ubid.com after a customer has purchased air travel from uBid. The company intends to roll-out additional travel rewards offerings on a regular basis throughout the year.
uBid was founded in 1997 and in addition to its own product listings, the site features Certified Merchant listings in which consumers will find items listed by uBid-approved businesses.
