Hotels.com Expands Its Successful welcomerewards Loyalty Program
Now members in over 60 countries can earn two-day getaways in more than 65,000 hotels
DALLAS, Oct. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- welcomerewards®, the hotels.com® loyalty program that allows members to earn a free* hotel night after booking and staying ten nights, now has additional booking flexibility and is open to customers in all 60 countries where hotels.com has global websites.
welcomerewards members may now redeem two free room nights consecutively and have more than 65,000 properties to choose from, with no black-out dates. Members can be sure they're getting the most out of their reward by checking out 2.5 million hotel guest reviews to book the best hotel for their travel plans and interests.
Additionally, hotels.com has implemented a more flexible expiration policy. As long as members engage in qualifying activity on the account every 12 months, they will be eligible to continue earning free nights on that account. The loyalty credits will not expire and each qualifying purchase extends the credits for another 12 months.
"welcomerewards is a very simple to understand and easy to use loyalty program because members can stay at participating hotels including multiple major chains or bed and breakfasts and earn credits toward a free night," says Milton Lai, senior director of customer loyalty for hotels.com. "welcomerewards gives travelers freedom to choose the right hotel for their stay."
Hotels.com is proud to provide worldwide guests with a flexible loyalty program that now allows members to earn more free weekends, or two consecutive nights, instead of just single free nights. Plus, hotels.com has thousands of great hotel deals to get members their free nights faster.
