If so configured, view, add or edit special offers and associated promotions created for the loyalty program.
Offers tend to drive direct bookings more than anything else. In your program, you can create special rates and packages that are only available to loyalty members such as 10% off the Best Flexible Rate or a 2 for 1 stay for the member’s birthday.
You can also create bonus rules and present them as offers. For example, you could award double points for staying at a specific hotel on specific dates. Or you can have offers that tie into the booking widget and pass promo codes to the IBE, allowing guests who aren’t members to book that promo. There are so many variables at your disposal when creating offers and rules, the possibilities are endless.
Please note that including these types of offers in your loyalty program requires an integration between your program and the providers of the IBE you use. Loyalty provides a full range of APIs and authentication processes that can pass a member’s info to the IBE. Once that integration is established and the data is flowing, the IBE providers would handle the rate setup for your members.
