Bitcoin Cashback Incentives

• Travelers who pay in cash can receive 5% of their spending as a BTC reward
• For seQura, Bitcoin represents long-term real value

seQura is a Spanish e-commerce platform headquartered in Barcelona, mainly promoting various service purchases. The platform has partnered with travel package booking site Lastminute to offer customers exclusive benefits, including Bitcoin rewards.

Through this partnership, users can access Lastminute via the seQura app to purchase flights, hotels, travel packages, and travel experiences. Two payment methods are offered:

Option One: Cash Payment

Cash payment allows users to receive 5% of their spending as a Bitcoin cashback reward. For example, on a trip worth 100 euros, the user would receive 5 euros worth of Bitcoin as cashback. The Bitcoin is sent directly to the wallet address provided by the user, processed by an authorized crypto asset service provider.

If users do not want Bitcoin, the cash payment option also offers an alternative of receiving cashback through seQura’s rewards program, Qoins. Each Qoins is equivalent to 1 euro.

Option Two: Installment Payment

Users can choose to split smaller amounts into three interest-free installments. However, this option does not provide Bitcoin cashback or Qoins rewards.

These travel bookings are part of the Smart Shopping experience offered by seQura, which provides Bitcoin and Qoins rewards for various service purchases. Currently, bookings with Lastminute in the app are only available in Spain, but there are plans to expand to other European markets by 2026.

Bitcoin Connects Travel Giants and Shopping Service Platforms

Through this integration, the travel package booking site listed on the Swiss stock exchange becomes the first major travel partner in seQura’s Smart Shopping division, expanding its range of travel-related services.

Lucio Marazzi, Head of Alliances at Lastminute Europe, stated: “Adding our services to the seQura app allows us to reach a rapidly growing audience within a highly interactive ecosystem, offering travelers more choices, greater flexibility, and another way to book.”

The alliance is powered by the Spanish fintech company Roiward, a technology partner of seQura. Its infrastructure supports the integration of travel inventory, regulatory compliance, and booking management.

David Bäckstrom, CEO of seQura, commented: “By bringing Lastminute into our Smart Shopping ecosystem and leveraging Roiward’s infrastructure, users now have better control over their travel bookings and receive Bitcoin rewards with long-term real value,” showing his bullish stance on BTC.

This move comes two months after Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $126,000 (USD). The growing demand from businesses and institutions, along with government interest in investing in the currency, has fueled this trend.
