Keep your cash! Earn points faster and use them for the upcoming holidays
Just in time for consumers to start thinking about how they’ll save for the holiday season, earning double the Priority Club points starting with their second stay at any one of IHG’s (InterContinental Hotels Group) 4,300 hotels worldwide between now and Dec. 15, 2009, can get them to free brand merchandise, retail gift cards, car rentals, hotel stays and now, flights, even faster.
According to Don Berg, vice president, Loyalty Programs, IHG, nearly one-third of all merchandise and gift card redemptions occur during the traditional gift-giving season, and during the 2008 holiday season, just as the recession hit, Priority Club Rewards members increased their redemptions in these categories by 20 percent over the previous year.
“While consumers realize that essentials come first during a challenging economy, they still want to be within reach of an upbeat, holiday season,” said Berg. “Using points to buy holiday gifts for family and friends is an ideal alternative to cash during these tough economic times.”
Points are also handy for holiday travel expenses. Earlier this month, IHG introduced
Flights Anywhere™, a new reward option that allows members to use Priority Club points for free flights without restrictions on seat availability.
“With the busy travel season upon us, consumers are also thinking about how they’ll pay for hotel nights, car rentals and flights,” said Berg. “If they’re traveling on business between now and mid-December and stay at IHG hotels, they can earn double the points; earning rewards faster which could mean a cheaper flight or car rental, and free hotel stays in time for their personal travels to visit family and friends for the holidays.”
Beginning with every second qualifying stay, guests earn double points or double miles when they register for the promotion via www.priorityclub.com/doublePR and stay at any one of IHG’s more than 4,300 hotels across the globe including InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts, Hotel Indigo®, Holiday Inn® Hotels & Resorts and Holiday Inn Express® properties worldwide. Members can earn double points or double miles on every qualifying stay at Staybridge® Suites and Candlewood Suites® hotels worldwide.
