In Vrbo, Blue signifies the Blue tier status, which is the initial and foundational level within the One Key loyalty program.
What Blue Tier Status Means
When you first join Vrbo's One Key program, you are automatically enrolled at the Blue tier. This status marks the beginning of your journey in the loyalty program, allowing you to start accumulating progress towards higher tiers.
The One Key program rewards travelers for their bookings and activities across Vrbo, Expedia, and Hotels.com. As you engage more with the platform and complete eligible bookings, you earn "trip elements" that count towards upgrading your tier status.
One Key Tier Progression
To advance beyond the Blue tier and unlock more benefits, you need to collect a specific number of trip elements within a year. Each tier offers increasingly valuable perks for your travel experiences.
Here's a breakdown of the One Key tier levels and their requirements:
| Tier Status | Requirements (Trip Elements per Year) | Key Characteristic |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | Starting tier | Entry level status |
| Silver | 5 trip elements | Mid-level benefits |
| Gold | 15 trip elements | Enhanced rewards |
| Platinum | 30 trip elements | Top-tier advantages |
