Apple Vacations (applevacations.com), the leading leisure travel company in North America, introduced its newly-enhanced loyalty program, Royalties Xchange, on Dec. 10. New features and capabilities such as real-time conversion of points onto a Virtual Visa card and the ability to redeem rewards for ALG branded merchandise provide greater ease of use, flexibility and more attractive redemption options for travel agents booking with Apple Vacations.

The new Virtual Visa card features a credit card number, expiration date and security code just like a physical card and can be redeemed anywhere Visa is accepted, including via Apple, Google or Samsung Play mobile wallet transactions or other retail websites.

Real-time conversion of points onto a Virtual Visa card ensures agents can take immediate advantage of retailer sales, promotions and special discount offers, just in time for the holidays.

Additionally, agents can use Royalties Points toward travel-related purchases for themselves or their valued clients.

"The newly-enhanced program is designed to provide travel advisors with more ways to take unrestricted advantage of Royalties Points for any items they wish," said John Tarkowski, president of Apple Vacations.
