The Yonder blog

I caught up with Will Ladds, a Business Development Manager at Frive to find out how Yonder has helped them reach their target audience and why they're coming back onto the platform.

I caught up with Charlotte, who is Head of Operations over at Desmond & Dempsey to discuss how she has found working with Yonder so far.

I caught up with Rory, the Director of Business Development at Turo to discuss all things Yonder and why they’re staying on the platform for the foreseeable future.

I caught up with Jo, Freddie’s Head of Commercial, about working with Yonder and why they had a bloomin’ good time - here’s what she had to say.

Peckham Cellars is an award-winning neighbourhood bistro run by three friends. It’s all sunshine patios, lipsmacking grape juices and inspired small plates. However, the economic climate hasn’t been as forgiving as the Great British Summer, shared co-founder Helen Hall. People aren’t dining as they used to, so Yonder’s call was timely.

The fashion industry is an incredibly saturated place with huge levels of over-consumption. As a young brand, it was hard for Batch to to break through the noise and get awareness. In stepped Yonder…

Why the barge-based restaurant is coming back for more.

You can now use your points towards any flight, with any airline, at any time. No complex rules, no blackout periods and no hoops to jump through.

We’ve launched a new free membership, giving you a new way to build credit and enjoy our rewards, with no monthly fee.

On January 1, 2024 we’re switching your travel insurance coverage. Your coverage is pretty much the same (we’ve outlined the details below) but some claims will come with a £50 excess.

We're shipping our biggest update to Experiences ever. Here's why we've redesigned things in the app to make using your Yonder points better than ever.

We've raised a £62.5M Series A to double our team and grow Yonder into new cities. Plus we're inviting our supporters to join in through a private crowdfund, launching soon. Pre-register today.

With send points, members can now effortlessly share their rewards with friends and family, or even pool their points together and get to that fancy new restaurant in half the time.

Many seem to think that Data Science is just plotting graphs and calculating averages. No. Boring. The great thing is, as Yonder’s first Data Scientist, I get to define it my way.

I noticed that so many of my male friends had credit cards and spoke openly about other money-related topics like investments and savings. On the other hand, many of my female friends had no real understanding about how they worked. I discovered that women just didn’t talk about money with their friends at all.

In light of changing Bank of England rates, we’ve made the decision this week to raise our interest rates. I wanted to share some more information about why we’re doing this now.

My journey from Yonder intern to full-time Marketing Associate

I knew right away that our customer support function would need all hands on deck, and that meant involving the entire team and not just the support team members. Here's how we did it.

We've added HumanForest's fleet of eBikes to your Yonder membership benefits, with £10 free riding credit to use every month until the end of the year.

Startup hiring is hard. Here's how we built our early stage team at Yonder and some practical advice for how you can do it for your own startup.

We built Yonder’s rewards program with one non-negotiable principle; that redeeming a reward should be remarkably easy. Just a bit better than our competitors wasn’t enough, we had to be miles ahead.

The kids are back in school and we can't let them have all the fun this month, which is why Yonder has got you sorted with some hot after-work dinner and drink destinations. Or do what I do, and go during work (but don't blame us when you get in trouble with your boss). We've got four new kids of our own on the block, and last month's most popular Experiences are back for more, but not forever. We'll start rotating Experiences on and off the app more frequently than once every month, so make sure you know exactly when they roll off and extend your favourite so you don't miss out. But I'm sure you trust me by now to know that we've got some goodies waiting in the wings.

How we used qualitative research from over 200 user interviews to mould a product proposition that our customers love.

Build an awesome waitlist for your potential customers without any code (optional code optimisations too)

Rewards have always been a core part of your Yonder membership. From the very beginning we’ve wanted to rethink the way a world-class rewards program would look like for our members.

We want customers to have an incredible experience by being as transparent as possible, stripping away hidden fees and charges.

And just like that we're in August, that time of the year where it feels like everyone but you is on holiday. There's no need to feel downbeat however, because whilst they're all losing their luggage to the airlines, the only worry you have is which of these Experiences to use your points on... I know which position I'd rather be in.

Hello July, my favourite month of the year - school’s out, which means it costs an arm and a leg to go abroad, but who needs to when it’s officially festival season, Wimbledon is well underway, and the forecast is guaranteed sunshine!?

This blog post has been updated from 8th August 2024. Things gone belly-up in Barcelona? We've got you covered with comprehensive travel insurance powered by Qover.

It may not feel like it outside, but we've arrived at June's front door, and I've been told by a trustworthy source that warm weather is on the horizon. Here's a look at what's on offer this month.

Everything you need to know about redeeming a Local Experience with Yonder

We're teaming up with Ophelos, an innovative service dedicated to building a fairer debt management process for businesses and their customers.

We’re rebuilding the modern credit card from the ground up. Our vision at Yonder is “a world where financial services are conscious, and the stress of debt is eliminated for everyone”. We believe that no other industry is better placed to create economic empowerment than the financial services industry.
