More BahnBonus points – with eco.mio
What if every business trip could save emissions, reduce costs, and come with an extra reward for the traveler?
That’s exactly what we make possible at eco.mio — and our newest partnership with Deutsche Bahn adds an exciting feature for our clients. From now on, companies using eco.mio can give their employees additional BahnBonus points as an incentive for choosing the train over less sustainable options such as flights.
For travelers, this means double the benefit:
Regular BahnBonus points from booking the ticket
Extra BahnBonus points provided by their employer through eco.mio
For companies, it’s an easy win-win. Emissions and costs go down, while employees enjoy a tangible reward that makes the greener option the more attractive one.
For us and our clients, sustainability in business travel is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It has become an operational necessity and an important lever. Business travel is one of the most visible emissions categories for employees, which makes it a key area where climate targets can be turned into tangible action.
With our plug-in, we give our clients a way to align climate goals with cost control. By rewarding sustainable travel choices directly in the booking platforms they already use — such as Cytric, SAP Concur, or Onesto — we make it easy to nudge employees toward the greener option before the booking even takes place. And this matters because 62% of travel managers still see cost savings as their top priority.
BahnBonus, one of Germany’s most successful loyalty programs, just celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025 and now counts more than 7.6 million participants. Travelers can redeem their points for free rides, upgrades, vouchers, or accessories — a reward system that employees already know and love. By adding extra BahnBonus points on top of the regular ones, we make sustainable decisions immediately rewarding.
Why this partnership matters & Why travelers love it
Our clients tell us that the success of BahnBonus incentives comes down to one thing: it feels real. Employees don’t just see a metric on a dashboard — they see new points in their BahnBonus app. And they can immediately use them for something they value, such as:
Free personal train journeys
Upgrades or status levels
Vouchers for on-board dining
Travel gear or lifestyle products
This makes the sustainable choice not just the right one but also the more attractive one.
A win-win-win
For us, this partnership with DB Fernverkehr is more than just an additional feature. It’s a signal that major industry players are committed to behavior-driven solutions for sustainable and cost-effective mobility.
As travel budgets get tighter and sustainabilty becomes more and more relevant, our clients who start incentivizing change today will be better prepared tomorrow. BahnBonus provides them with a tool that is effective, easy to integrate, and cost-efficient.
Our collaboration with DB shows how much can be achieved when innovation meets partnership. Our clients cut emissions and costs. Their travelers feel rewarded, not restricted. And rail becomes even more attractive as a pillar of business travel. That’s what we call a win-win-win.
