How Protellier Works
A simple, automated journey that connects hotels, restaurants, and travelers — creating value for everyone.
The Complete Journey
Follow the path from signup to payout.
Every step connects a different participant. The traveler's journey depends on the business and hotel being in place first.
Local Business Joins Protellier
A nearby restaurant, golf course, or attraction creates an account and sets up a cashback deal — choosing their own rate and monthly budget cap. No integration or technical setup required.
Hotel Signs Up
A hotel creates an account, sets its property location, and activates the program in under 30 minutes. Protellier automatically surfaces nearby business deals for incoming guests.
Traveler Confirms Hotel Reservation
A guest creates a free Protellier account and verifies their stay using their hotel confirmation number. It takes under two minutes and immediately unlocks every deal near their hotel.
Card Is Linked
The traveler connects a debit or credit card securely via Plaid. Their card number is never stored — only an encrypted token is retained to detect future qualifying purchases.
Traveler Visits Local Business
The guest heads out and pays normally with their linked card at any partner business. No app to open, no coupon to show, no staff involvement — completely seamless.
Transaction Captured
Protellier detects the charge in real time through card-linked technology and automatically matches it to the correct deal, hotel, and traveler account — no manual reconciliation needed.

Hotel Reservation Verification
Before a traveler can access any deals, Protellier verifies their hotel stay using their confirmation number. This ensures every deal shown is curated specifically for guests at that property — not the general public.
Traveler + Business
Card-Linked Transaction Detection
When a verified traveler swipes their linked card at a partner business, Protellier detects the charge in real time through Plaid's card network connection. No QR codes. No staff involvement. No checkout friction.
Hotel + Business
Curated Local Deals by Property
Deals shown to a traveler are scoped to businesses near their specific hotel. A guest at a downtown property sees downtown restaurants. A guest at a beach resort sees coastal experiences. Every deal is relevant by design.
