Orbitz

Brief
Building off of the existing Orbitz Rewards Pages, we needed to move content up in the hierarchy for users to better understand the program at a glance. The existing pages complicate the experience with too many clicks to locate core information and actions. This project is to solve three main user problems:

  • Accessing and redeeming platinum member benefits​
  • Basic program understanding​
  • Understanding tier levels​

Goals

  • Clearly explain the program and tiers in 1 page
    • Overview –> How It Works page​
    • Audience: For all users
  • Clearly and simply define each tiers benefits
    • Benefits page –> Tier Benefits page​
    • Audience: For all users
  • Create a simple redemption experience for Platinum Member Choice benefits
    • Experience through web​
    • Audience 1: For all users​
    • Audience 2: For identified users (authenticated logged in state to access redeem buttons)

Scope

  • Updating Overview and Benefits pages (Flex)
  • Combine Earn + Redeem pages (How it works)
  • Designing new Benefits page (for Exp Web)
  • Update or create redemption forms as needed

In-Person Usability Study

We perform an in-person usability study/test in Seattle on 5 or 6 participants through the membership process and check for their understanding of the different tiers and aspects for each rewards. This was done in a two-way mirror room where we got to track eye movements, cursor heat maps and voice/facial observation. 

What we found out users tend to quickly click over to the ‘How it Works’ page. The ‘Earn & Redeem’ page process was a bit confusing. The ‘Benefits’ page was an overload of information. I worked with the content team to simplify the language on the ‘Earn & Redeem’ page. The ‘Benefits’ page was redesign to have expandable options to shorten the page.
