American airlines
Frequent flyer programs are an excellent way to earn points toward airline rewards. Most of
the major carriers offer a program and membership is generally free. American Airlines
AAdvantage program is one of the most well known and used programs available. Its rules,
however, do vary from other airlines offering similar schemes.
Earning Points
The American Airlines AAdvantage program offers a point value for the amount of flights taken.
Customers can also earn advantage points through their credit cards, charitable donations,
retail shops, rental cars and certain partner airlines. These points can be accumulated and
redeemed for several types of gifts, the most common being free flight tickets.
Program Levels
The American Airlines AAdvantage program offers various levels based on the amount of miles
accumulated in a calendar year. The three levels are Gold, Platinum and Executive Platinum. To
achieve Gold status the account holder must accumulate 25,000 miles or advantage points in
one year. Achieving Platinum status requires a minimum of 50,000 miles, while Executive
Platinum requires 100,000. Special privileges are added based on the level. Early check ins and
baggage allowance exemptions are just a few of the examples offered.
8/8/2019 Frequent User Programmes From Several Airlines
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/frequent-user-programmes-from-several-airlines 8/16
Enrollment
Signing up for the AAdvantage program is simple. The easiest method is to log onto the
American Airlines website and complete the application online. Signing up at the airport check
in is still a possibility, but your points for that particular flight may not be counted instantly.
Bonus Points
American Airlines offers several methods for club members to increase their points. Certain
routes can be given special status, earning the ticket holders as much as triple the amount of
points. Certain car rental companies, travel agencies and retail outlets join in. This changes
frequently, so viewing the website is recommended.
Mile Expiration Dates
In 2007, American Airlines changed its policy on mile expiration. Prior to 2007, AAdvantagemiles could stay on one's account indefinitely. Under the new scheme, the account holder must
have account activity within 18 months to keep the points valid. Should more than 18 months
pass, by then all points accumulated will expire. The only exception to this rule is any points
accrued prior to the changeover in 2007. Those points can still be redeemed or remain on the
account.
Partner Airlines
Although American Airlines is a member of the One World Alliance, they do not allow miles
from other airline flights to be transferred to the AAdvantage program. The only possible
exceptions are flights taken on American Eagle, because they're owned and operated by
American Airlines. Miles earned through hotel stays, rental cars and retail purchases can only
be applied to one frequent flyer program.
Redeeming Points
Redeeming your AAdvantage points is simple. For flights, this can be completed by simply
phoning the reservations desk. Availability will depend on the status you hold. Flights
purchased with AAdvantage points are not eligible for miles.

The Basics of Hotel Frequent Guest Loyalty Programs
Overview of Hotel Corporate Families, Major Hotel Brands, and Loyalty Programs:
1. Hotel corporate brand descriptions and market segments
2. Value of Hotel Frequent Guest Loyalty Program
3. Value of elite status in a hotel frequent guest loyalty program
Basic rules and benefits of earning and spending hotel points
1. Best Western Rewards,
2. Choice Privileges,
3. Hilton HHonors,
4. Hyatt Gold Passport,
5. InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) Priority Club,
6. Marriott Rewards,
7. Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG), and

Basic Tutorial for Hotel Frequent Guest Loyalty Programs
Ten corporate-brand hotel chains are dominant in the USA market and also share a strong
global presence. The dominant hotel chains in the United States marketed to upscale travelers
and operating points-based hotel frequent guest loyalty programs are Hilton HHonors, Hyatt
Gold Passport, InterContinental Hotels Group Priority Club, Marriott Rewards, and Starwood
Preferred Guest.
Best Western, Choice Hotels, Carlson Hotels, and Wyndham Hotels Group consist of Mid-scale
and Economy-level hotel brands. These four hotel chains have points-based hotel loyalty
programs representing another 30 or so hotel brands. Accor Hotels, a French based hotel
group, owns Motel 6. The Motel 6 chain is not a particpating brand in Accor Hotels A-Club hotel
loyalty program.
Each of these hotel chains offer guests membership in a frequent guest loyalty program. The
benefit for the traveler is the ability to earn hotel loyalty points towards free nights, services,merchandise, and discounts. The benefit to the hotel is the ability to direct target loyal
customers and retain a market base of returning frequent guests.

Overview of Hotel Loyalty Programs
The top 10 global hotel loyalty programs represent over 25,000 hotels worldwide (over 15,000
of these hotels are located in USA) and together these hotel chains have around four million
rooms to sell every night of the year.
The great news for the traveler is each hotel corporate loyalty program has perpetual
incentives to induce your loyalty exclusively to that hotel chain. Hotel frequent guest
promotions regularly offer the repeat loyal customer bonus points and free stays for value-
added incentives that can be 50% to 200% return of investment on the guests hotel purchases.

The value of loyalty is apparent to a frequent traveler in the United States or international
when a needed hotel stay becomes the choice between paying for a room in cash or paying in
hotel loyalty points for free nights.
The hotel frequent guest loyalty programs of Hilton HHonors, Hyatt Gold
Passport, InterContinental Hotels Group (editor's note: Holiday Inn parent) Priority
Club, Marriott Rewards, and Starwood Preferred Guesthave a high degree of value to afrequent traveler who can expect a return on investment with loyalty to any of these
chains. These five hotel corporations operate over 10,000 hotels globally with more than
2,000,000 hotel rooms.

Best Western, Carlson Hotels, Choice Hotels, and Wyndham Rewards hotel brands add another
15,000+ hotels to the frequent guest opportunities for earning and redeeming hotel
points when traveling the world.
The value of hotel loyalty for an elite status member is possibly a 50% to 100% return on
investment for annual hotel expenses. Participation in a hotel loyalty program and frequent
guest promotions makes it relatively easy to spend $2,000 on hotels and receive $3,000 -$4,000
total hotel value from free room nights, upgraded rooms on hotel stays, and added amenities

. An important difference between hotel frequent guest programs and airline
frequent flyer programs
A few years ago the major hotel chains decided to only award hotel loyalty points for online
bookings made directly with the corporate-branded hotel websites (hotel brand telephone
reservations line or a travel agent booking also are eligible for loyalty benefits).
Expedia, Orbitz, or Travelocity and other online travel agency hotel bookings are not eligible
for hotel loyalty points in most cases, whereas, frequent flyer miles are awarded on almost all
published fares regardless of the point of sale
Wyndham Rewards offers points for 10 hotel brands including Ramada, Super 8, Days Inn,
Travelodge,Howard Johnson, Knights Inn, Wingate, Baymont Inn, Hawthorn Suites, and
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. The number of Wyndham upscale hotels and resorts are fewer
than either Starwood or Hyatt.
Accor Hotels is European based with brands Motel 6, Ibis Hotels, Novotel, Mercure, Sofitel, andother brands. The Sofitel hotel brand is primarily upscale hotels, however, only 10 of the 200
Sofitel Hotels are located in North America. Accor redesigned their hotel loyalty program in
September 2008.
8/8/2019 Frequent User Programmes From Several Airlines
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/frequent-user-programmes-from-several-airlines 12/16
Accor a-club program membership is free. Points are earned based on base ratio of 2 points per
1EUR in spending. Redeeming points has limited leverage since 2,000 points exchanges for a 40
EUR or US$60 hotel certificate.
Motel 6 has nearly 1,000 properties in the US, however, this brand is not a participant in the
Accor Hotels loyalty program.
Choice Hotels has several budget brands participating within the Choice Privileges frequent
guest loyalty program. The ten brands include Clarion Hotels, Rodeway Inn, Comfort Inn,
Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Cambria Suites, MainStay Suites, Suburban, and EconoLodge.
BestWestern Hotels have a strong international component with nearly 2000 hotels outside
North America. The global coverage of Best Western exceeds the number of international
properties of any other US-based hotel loyalty program including IHG, Hilton, and Marriott.
Frequent Guest Hotel Loyalty Programs are Growing
The hotel loyalty alliances are growing as boutique and independent brands form regional and
global associations around new hotel loyalty programs. Increasing competition from the major
hotel loyalty chains dominating the world's travel market has led to hotel industry conditions
favoring the creation of new hotel loyalty programs to market smaller, more independent
hotels. This global domination of the upscale and luxury market by five major hotel chains is
what concentrates the focus of Loyalty Traveler on the five major hotel loyalty programs with
their well-established history of benefits for members. As new programs develop and become
competitive with the benefits of the major hotel loyalty programs, our coverage will expand to
include analysis of additional upscale and luxury hotel brands.
