Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayaam Casino Celebrates the Merge of Marriott International’s Loyalty Programs

Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayaam Casino Celebrates the Merge of Marriott International’s Loyalty Programs
 
August 18th, 2018 marked a very special day in the history of Marriott International. A new era has just begun for more than 110 million members of Marriott International’s loyalty programs – Marriott Rewards, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG).

For the first time since Marriott International acquired Starwood Hotels and Resorts in 2016, the three programs that used to run simultaneously are now combined into a single Loyalty Program. Members can now earn and redeem points across full portfolio of properties, consisting of 29 brands and more than 6,700 participating hotels in 130 countries and territories..

Celebrations at the palace had their own charm. The hotel’s Guest Relations team spread happiness on both juniors and adults by offering cupcakes to all guests at the lobby. “Ask me about Loyalty” was a podium set at the hotel main lobby to answer guests’ questions about the program and explain all new benefits. The palace was flanked by flyers, roll-ups and other collaterals showing the new benefits of the program.

Members now earn on average 20 percent more points per 1 USD spent and have their Elite status recognized consistently at every hotel as they indulge in the elevated benefits they have earned.

Under the unified programs, members now earn Silver Elite status after just ten nights annually, Gold Elite status after just 25 nights, Platinum Elite status after 50 nights and Platinum Premier Elite status after 75 nights. All Platinum Premier members surpassing 100 nights and $20,000 annual spend will enjoy the highest level of personalized service – the popular ambassador program – along with all the other benefits in that tier. Members who have achieved Lifetime status will continue to have their status recognized under the new Lifetime Elite tiers that will apply across the unified programs.It is now easier to redeem free nights.

The unified program does not only provide accommodation but carries a whole new travel experience beginning with a range of destination tours and day trips to exclusive member-only events. Members can now earn points on food and beverage, spa and other qualifying charges rather than only the room rate.

Saving more by booking direct on any of Marriott International’s digital and mobile channels means members can take advantage of exclusive member-only rates and free Wi-Fi. In addition, both the Marriott and SPG apps offer mobile check-in and check-out and send members alerts when their room is ready. Members can also chat directly with hotel associates before, during, and after their stays using Mobile Requests, and use their smartphones as their room key at more than 1,000 hotels.

The information above represents a summary of certain features of Marriott International’s Unified Loyalty Programs and is subject to the program’s full terms and conditions.
