Topguest expands loyalty partners

16 Nov 2010 by BusinessTraveller

“Geolocation perks programme” Topguest now counts nearly 10,000 hotel, airport, rental car and restaurant venues as part of scheme, which rewards members with points for virtual check ins.

The scheme, which works with Facebook Places, Foursquare, Twitter and Gowalla, earns members points and other rewards when they “check in” at participating hotels, airport terminals and car rental locations.

Intercontinental Hotel Group became the first global chain to partner with Topguest earlier this year (see online news August 3), offering 50 Priority Club points for members checking in at the group’s properties worldwide.

More recently companies including Hilton, Virgin America, Wyndham and Avis have joined the scheme, as well as selected Shangri-La, Mandarin Oriental and Swissotel properties.

Each member offers different rewards for virtual check-ins, with examples including:

  • 25 Virgin America Elevate points for each check-in at a Virgin America airport terminal venue, baggage claim, or other Virgin America airport location
  • 50 Hilton HHonors points for each check-in at all Doubletree properties
  • 50 Wyndham Rewards points for each check-in at Wingate by Wyndham properties
  • US$20 On-Property Food & Beverage Credit or other benefit after your fifth check-in at select Shangri-La, Swissôtel, Mandarin Oriental, Mövenpick, Regent and Husa hotel properties internationally
  • 10 per cent off your rental at Avis UK car rental locations
  • 50 Choice Privileges points for check-ins at any Quality Inn, Comfort Suites, and Cambria Suites hotels

In addition members can now download Topguest iPhone and Google Android apps, which will notify users in real time when they receive a reward.
