Lotte Card announced on the 30th that it has collaborated with Hopper Technology Solutions (HTS), the operator of the B2B division of the global travel platform Hopper, to launch the travel portal "Digiroka Travel," which provides various convenience services through the Digiroka app.
Digiroka Travel is a travel-exclusive portal where users can search and book flights, hotels, and rental cars. It helps customers make reasonable purchases with various special options utilizing HTS's fintech/e-commerce technology, enhancing user convenience.
Digiroka Travel offers various special options, such as a "lowest price guarantee" that provides compensation if users find the same product at a lower price on a public travel site accessible to anyone within 24 hours of booking a flight or hotel, "price prediction" and "price alerts" that analyze flight price data to guide the best booking times, and "anytime cancellations" that allow refunds of up to 80% until 3 hours before departure.
In the future, it plans to introduce a "price freeze" that can hold flight prices for up to 21 days and a "delayed and canceled flight support service" that finds alternative flights in case of delays or cancellations.
Along with this, it also introduced specialized cards, "Digiroka Travel Premium" and "Digiroka Travel," which allow users to earn up to 5% of card usage amounts as "Travel Miles," usable as cash on Digiroka Travel.
Digiroka Travel Premium offers basic earning benefits of 1.2% for domestic usage and 1.5% for overseas, accumulating Travel Miles. For special earning benefits, users earn 3% when making air payments on Digiroka Travel and 5% for hotels/rentals. Additionally, if annual usage exceeds 24 million won (6 million won in the first year), users earn 70,000 miles. If usage in the previous month exceeded 300,000 won, users can also access domestic and international airport lounge benefits (once per month, three times a year).
Digiroka Travel provides basic earning benefits of 1% for domestic usage and 1.2% for overseas, and special earning benefits of 2% for air payments on Digiroka Travel and 3% for hotels/rentals. If annual usage exceeds 12 million won (3 million won in the first year), users earn 15,000 miles.
Travel Miles are dedicated points that can be used at a rate of 1 won per mile when booking travel products on Digiroka Travel. Basic and special earning benefits are provided without performance conditions, with unlimited limits for basic earning and limits of 200,000 miles per month for premium products and 100,000 miles per month for regular products. The annual fee is 100,000 won for premium products and 20,000 won for regular products.
To celebrate the launch, various events are being held.

For hotels, there is also a 30-month interest-free installment benefit available until September 26, 2025. Package products offer up to 10% cashback until July 31, 2025.
A drawing event is also being held for customers who make at least one payment for flights, hotels, or rentals on Digiroka Travel by September 30 of this year, with a maximum of 4 million Travel Miles to be given away. The prizes include 4 million miles for the first place (1 person), 2 million miles for the second place (1 person), and Starbucks Americano coupons for 100 people.
