Accor and Choice Offer New Points Programs for European Travlers

Travelers have lots of options. They can take a flight by any number of carriers to their destination. Travelers can choose to rent a vehicle from more than a dozen carriers but when it comes to choosing a hotel to spend the night in the possibilities can be overwhelming. In most cases avid travelers find one chain they are comfortable with and use it consistently. Taking this into consideration Accor Hotels and Choice Hotels are launching new customer loyalty programs for European travelers.

Based on the Privileges program developed in 1998 and launched in North America, Choice hotels will begin providing similar services in their European customers. Members of the program will receive ten points for each dollar they spend on a hotel room at one of the Choice Owned Complexes. Choice which operates several hundred locations in Europe and the UK is the parent company of Quality Inn, Comfort Inn, and Clarion hotels.

Following the Choice points program Accor Hotels will be unveiling a similar program on September 15. The A Club program will provide points to anyone staying in the hotels owned by Accor. Rather than only taking the price of the room into consideration when awarding points Accor Hotels will provide points for all services including room service. Once points have been accumulated the participant can cash them in to receive discounts on future stays or on for discounts on flights provided by a number of international carriers.
