Thais flock to book accommodation with points! POINTX teams up with Expedia to unveil a new travel trend

POINTX, together with Expedia Group, revealed user behavior on the XTravel Powered by Expedia platform, launched on the POINTX app in late April 2026, finding that 62% of users chose to pay for accommodation entirely with points, while 38% combined points with an SCBX-group credit or debit card.

Krittithee Manoleehagul, CEO of POINTX, said the figures reflect how a mixed points-plus-cash payment system eases point-balance limitations, with usage volume continuing to grow through the first half of June.
