Luxury Hotel Brand's Loyalty Program Celebrates Milestone with Birthday Party
Twenty-one is a special birthday, and Omni Hotels & Resorts is celebrating accordingly. Select Guest, Omni's loyalty program, is turning twenty-one, and to mark the occasion, Omni is throwing sensational birthday parties across the brand on Tuesday, April 27 and preparing a special offer for program members. From 5 to 7 pm that evening, all guests are invited to the lobby for Champagne, martinis, cake, petit fours and more to toast the special occasion.
While twenty-one years is truly noteworthy, Omni is also celebrating exactly one year to the day since launching sweeping enhancements and improvements to the iconic loyalty program, making it better than ever. On April 27, 2009, Omni added a new top tier and expanded base level benefits to include complimentary pressing, shoe shine, bottled water and eco-friendly housekeeping options. Membership also gave guests the ability to earn free nights in a simple, easy formula - guests can earn one complimentary night for every 10 nights. These new benefits were instituted on top of the already existing great recognition and rewards, many of which are considered hallmarks in the industry and among guests, such as complimentary Wi-Fi and personalized morning beverage delivery. Select Guest members also receive exclusive offers, express check-in and check-out and evening turndown service.
In celebration, Omni has put together a list of the "21 Best Things about Select Guest" - many from the past year:
1. Select Guest is the first hospitality loyalty program that is not points based.
2. Select Guest members receive more than 14 benefits at the Gold Level (base level) - one of the most robust hospitality loyalty programs.
3. Select Guest has the easiest way to earn free nights - members can earn one complimentary night for every 10 nights stayed.
4. Select Guest offers more than $30 per night of value, including the would-be cost of complimentary pressing, Wi-Fi, morning beverage delivery and bottled water.
5. Select Guest recognition and rewards and managed on the property level by Loyalty Ambassadors who can assist members with virtually any need at any time.

17. Select Guest members have already earned thousands free nights since the relaunch of the program.

For "one to grow on," Omni will be issuing a "Buy One/Get the Second Night Free" offer to Select Guests in the next few weeks for summer weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day exclusively to members with an email address in their profile. Each member will receive a special promotional code for themselves and one to share with a friend or family members.
"We're so pleased to be able to mark this special occasion with our guests," said Tom Santora, chief marketing officer of Omni Hotels & Resorts. "Over the last year, we've expanded Select Guest into one of the most user-friendly and robust programs around. We look forward to continuing to serve our valued guests and give them something special for the summer to show our appreciation."
