Meeting Planners Can Earn Points for Meetings, Reach Platinum Elite Status Faster
Recognizing the growing meeting planners market in Latin America and the Caribbean, Priority Club® Rewards, the hotel loyalty program from IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) (LON:IHG), (NYSE:IHG) (ADRs), has expanded its successful Priority Club Meeting Rewards® Program to the 73 IHG hotels within 20 countries and territories in the region.
Developed specifically with meeting planners in mind, Priority Club Meeting Rewards awards three points per dollar to planners booking just 10 guest rooms*. Up to 60,000 points can be earned with each meeting and then redeemed for Meeting Credits, an American Express® branded prepaid card ranging in value from $250 - $1,000, good toward future meetings at any of IHG’s more than 4,400 hotels and resorts worldwide. Meetings Planners are also upgraded to Priority Club Gold Elite status after booking just one meeting in a calendar year; Platinum Elite after two; and benefit from all of the flexible features of Priority Club Rewards, such as no point expiration, no blackout dates for free night stays and online account management 24/7.
Priority Club Meeting Rewards is available at all IHG brands in Latin America and the Caribbean, which include InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts, Hotel Indigo®, Holiday Inn® Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn Express® and Staybridge® Suites.
Priority Club Meeting Rewards helps meeting planners find an appropriate venue within their budget. After enrolling at www.priorityclub.com/meetingrewards, planners can submit a Request for Proposal (RFP) online, providing IHG with a brief outline of their needs. IHG’s staff will then help find the appropriate venue based on the information provided, potentially saving hours of research for the meeting planner.
“The ability for our meetings planners to benefit to such a degree from Priority Club Meeting Rewards clearly sets our properties apart in the competitive meetings business in this region,” said Alvaro Diago, chief operating officer, Latin America and Caribbean Region, IHG. “The initial response has been excellent as the points are easy to earn and redeem.”
