• Discounts and Cash Back: Many companies are offering cash back when booking is done through mobile apps. So, to avail these offers many travelers use the app while booking. Also, cash back is received by travelers when they refer it to their connections. Some companies also offer loyalty points when a booking is done by the app. These points can be redeemed later in an exchange of reduced prices.
