Hyatt Hotels and Resorts Joins Rewards Network(SM)
Guests Benefit From Cashback or Airline Mile Rewards
CHICAGO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hyatt Hotels and Resorts has joined
the growing roster of more than 11,000 hotels in the Rewards Network Hotels
program. Travelers are savvier than ever before when it comes to finding the
most attractive combination of room rate and rewards. At the same time, hotels
want to remain profitable and develop loyal guests, so both are turning to
rewards programs that offer Cashback Rewards or airline miles to meet these
goals.
Rewards Network Inc. (AMEX:IRN), one of the nation's leading providers of
loyalty and rewards programs, offers one of the most extensive hotel rewards
programs in the industry. With the addition of the prestigious Hyatt family of
hotels, members now have an additional choice of 106 U.S. destinations. By
booking hotel reservations online at http://www.rewardsnetwork.com/ or calling
the Rewards Network toll-free hotel reservations number at 877-491-3463,
Rewards Network members can book a room and earn Cashback Rewards or up to 7
airline miles for every dollar spent on the room rate.
Members of participating airline hotel programs can earn up to 7 miles per
dollar, which is in addition to any mileage earned directly through Hyatt
Hotels and Resorts.
"The Hyatt brand is one of the most respected names in hospitality," said
George S. Wiedemann, president and CEO of Rewards Network Inc. "We look forward
to the mutual benefits of offering Hyatt Hotels and Resorts the power of our
rewards program and providing our members with the flexibility inherent in
bookings that do not require pre-payment at the time of booking. This is simply
the richest rewards program -- there is no other program of its kind." "Hyatt partnered with Rewards Network because the program was very easy to
implement and we are able to retain control of brand, inventory and pricing,"
said Joan Lowell, Vice President - Electronic Distribution, Hyatt. "This
partnership is valuable since we now can offer members of Rewards Network's
programs the most competitive rates and up to the minute room availability when
