Today & Yesterday: A Look at Hotel Loyalty Programs

Today, frequent flyer programs and other loyalty programs are everywhere. From grocery store discount programs to airline travel miles, recognition and reward programs are now used in most consumer-based industries and available in every region of the globe.

In the beginning, hotels were partners with airline programs. As the industry grew, hotels decided to launch their own frequent stay program. Holiday Inn was the first hotel brand to launch its own program in early 1983. Marriott followed with its program later in the same year. Soon thereafter, other hotel brands developed and launched their own frequent-stay programs.

Earning and Redeeming

In 2006, loyalty programs are now core differentiators for hotels. Most hotels offer a loyalty program and some of the larger hotel brands offer a loyalty program within their entire brand family. For example, Carlson Hotels Worldwide offers Gold Points Plus® through Regent International Hotels, Radisson Hotels & Resorts, Park Plaza Hotels, Country Inns & Suites by Carlson and Park Inn.

Most loyalty programs are not interchangeable outside of the “brand family”. Some programs have creative redemption offers where loyalty members can redeem their points for merchandise or travel miles. In all cases, points or miles earned at one hotel brand cannot be redeemed at another hotel brand. For example, guests who earn points at a Radisson hotel cannot redeem these points at a Marriott hotel.

Our Hotel Brand Partners

It is our intention on this web page to list the loyalty programs offered by our hotels and provide links to more detailed program information offered by our brand partners. Note, the hotels listed on this website are owned and managed by CHIP Hospitality, one of Canada’s leading hotel management companies. Guests who stay at hotels within the CHIP Hospitality family can enroll in the individual loyalty programs offered by each hotel. NOTE: Rewards earned through one loyalty program are specific to that hotel and/or brand, and are neither transferable nor valid at other hotels or brands.
