Recognizing the efforts of meeting planners, IHG’s Priority Club Rewards, the world’s largest hotel loyalty programme, has introduced its successful Priority Club Meeting Rewards programme into Asia Pacific. Launched initially in the US last year, Priority Club Meeting Rewards is now available to meeting planners in Asia Pacific who hold events at any of 3,000 IHG-branded hotels across Asia Pacific (except Japan) and North America. In the Asia Pacific, this includes InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts and Holiday Inn Express.
Meetings incorporating at least 10 room nights and a minimum food and beverage spend of US$1,000 automatically qualify for Priority Club Meeting Rewards, earning members three Priority Club points for every US$1 spent. Members can then redeem points for free stays or receive credits for future meetings at any IHG hotel worldwide.
Enrolment in Priority Club Meeting Rewards is free of charge and can be made by visiting www.priorityclub.com/meetingrewards. After enrolling, Priority Club Meeting Rewards members who hold their first qualified meeting will reach Gold Elite status and enjoy privileges such as a 10% point bonus and priority check-in. Those who hold their second qualified meeting within the same calendar year attain Platinum Elite status for additional benefits such as a 50% point bonus, complimentary room upgrades and guaranteed availability on any booking*.
With more than 37 million members worldwide, IHG\'s Priority Club Rewards is the first, largest and fastest-growing guest loyalty program in the hotel industry. It has received the Hotel Loyalty Program of the Year title at the Annual Freddie Awards, Best Hotel Rewards Program in the World award by Global Traveler magazine and Hotel Loyalty Program of the Year by Business Traveler magazine. Priority Club Rewards offers travellers sought-after benefits including no blackout dates for reward nights and points that never expire.
