The FluzTravel card is a Fluz virtual card built for booking travel. You can issue it in your own name or in a traveler's name and billing address, and you earn instant cashback on eligible travel purchases.

It's designed for travel agents booking on behalf of clients, points bookers paying taxes and fees, and anyone who books travel often.

Two FluzTravel cards

  • FluzTravel Card (Visa). Earns up to 2.5% cashback on eligible purchases. Best for domestic travel.

  • FluzTravel International Card (Mastercard). Earns up to 1.5% cashback on eligible purchases. Built for international travel spend.

Purchases outside eligible categories earn 0% on either card.

What makes them different

  • Issue it in a traveler's name. Each card can carry the traveler's name and billing address, so the details match the booking. This helps airlines, hotels and booking sites approve the payment the first time. See How do I create a FluzTravel card for a traveler?

  • Instant cashback. Cashback lands in your Fluz balance once an eligible transaction completes.

  • One card per trip or per traveler. You can create as many FluzTravel cards as you need.

How cashback works

Cashback depends on the merchant's category code (MCC), which the merchant sets when it processes the charge. A purchase can look like travel and still earn 0% if the merchant codes it differently. For the full list, see FluzTravel Card eligible categories.

Who can create a FluzTravel card

FluzTravel cards are available to accounts approved for Fluz virtual cards. On a business account, Owners and Admins can create them.

Coming soon for Spenders: We're working on letting Spenders request a FluzTravel card through the virtual card approval flow. Until then, ask an Owner or Admin on your business account to create the card for you.

If you don't see the FluzTravel options when you create a card, see Why can't I see the FluzTravel card option? or contact our Customer Experience team and we'll get you set up.

Things to know

  • They can't be added to Apple Pay or Google Pay. Use the card details to pay online, in apps, or over the phone.

  • The billing address is fixed once the card is created. To use a different address, create a new card.

  • Some merchants treat it as a credit card. FluzTravel cards are prepaid, but some merchants classify them as credit, which can affect their processing fees.

In other respects, they work like any Fluz virtual card. You can freeze them, set limits, and view their transactions.
