The extent of AVA’s use cases grows through the addition of new travel products to the Travala.com platform and the adoption of AVA as a payment method on other platforms, adding value to the entire AVA network.</p><p><strong>Do I need AVA to receive a discount on Travala.com?</strong></p><p>No. Each hotel booking made on Travala.com will receive up to 2% giveback in the form of AVA tokens, regardless of your payment method or AVA balance. In order to receive this giveback, you only need to have a Travala.com account. The giveback will be credited directly to your account wallet after you complete your stay at the property.</p><p><strong>How can I earn AVA?</strong></p><p>There are a number of ways to earn AVA without directly purchasing the token. The <a href="https://www.travala.com/invite" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Invite Program</a> offers US$25 in AVA to you and anyone you refer who successfully registers for a Travala.com account and makes an eligible booking. Each time you complete a booking, you can also receive a giveback in AVA of up to 2% with a standard account or up to 10% with a <a href="https://www.travala.com/smart" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Smart membership</a>.</p><h2 id="header-5"><strong>Join the Community</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.avafoundation.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/AVAFoundation" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://t.me/avafoundation" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram</a> | <a href="https://t.me/AVAFoundationAnn" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram Announcements</a> </p>
