Rewards Canada Team Uncategorized

Here’s your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near
daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses,
deals and more. This update is brought to you by the HSBC World Elite Mastercard which
is currently offering a welcome bonus of up to 100,000 bonus points
worth $500, has no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee in the
first year! 

 Hilton Hotels announced some minor changes this week that include
automatic upgrades for elite members and digital key sharing. Here are
the details Hilton provided to us:

Enhancing the Complimentary Room Upgrade Benefit for Elite Members

Celebrating elite Gold and Diamond Hilton Honors members with
complimentary, space-available upgrades at the time of check-in is one
of the program’s most important perks, and now, Hilton Honors is
enhancing this valued benefit even further. When possible, Hilton will
notify Gold and Diamond members of their complimentary upgrade 72 hours
prior to arrival. This will enable the member to choose their upgraded
room directly via the Hilton Honors app.  

How it Works: Eligible members will receive an email and a
Hilton Honors app push notification alerting them of their complimentary
upgraded room. Once received, if the hotel offers Digital Check-In, the
member can easily choose the location of their upgraded room through
the app 36 hours prior to arrival. All stays under seven nights are
eligible for this early confirmation, and it will be available in the
coming months at all Hilton brands globally where space-available
upgrades are currently offered, including Waldorf Astoria Hotels &
Resorts, LXR Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Canopy
by Hilton, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Curio Collection by Hilton,
DoubleTree by Hilton, Signia by Hilton and Tapestry Collection by
Hilton.

Sharing Your Digital Key with Travel Companions

Since its 2015 launch, Hilton’s Digital Key has
expanded rapidly. The technology is now available at more than 80% of
Hilton’s portfolio, or close to 5,400 of Hilton’s more than 6,600
properties worldwide. It has been used to open more than 135 million
guestroom doors, and has reduced plastic waste by 125 tons, furthering
Hilton’s Travel with Purpose commitment
to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2030. In the coming
months, Digital Key Share will roll out globally to all hotels currently
offering Digital Key technology.

How it Works: The primary guest can share their active Digital
Key with up to four additional people or devices from the Hilton Honors
app. For the secondary guest to gain access to the Digital Key, they
must receive an invitation from the primary guest, be logged into the
Hilton Honors app and pass a security check that happens instantly in
the background. Guests who accept a share will have access to the room
and property throughout the duration of the stay and, for security
purposes, cannot further share the Digital Key.

Earlier this week we let you know about the welcome bonus for joining ITA Airways Volare,
Italy’s Alitalia replacement and as we mentioned previously there are
no set plans to serve Canada direct just yet but the airline has applied
to code share on routes to Canada. The question is which airline are
they planning to code share with and will that code share also include
frequent flyer benefits including earning and redeeming? (Source: CTA)
