I spent some time reviewing all the newly added SLH properties to the Hilton portfolio. Hilton has been lacking inspirational properties compared to Hyatt and Marriott, but that changed with this addition. These inspirational properties are easily accessible to everyone, classified as standard redemptions, and can be easily redeemed with credit card free night certificates even for property like Calala Island (People don’t stay at those places on daily basis but do need them to keep motivated) By earning points from hotel stays math, you will be able to redeem something valued at $1,500-$4,000 with only $3,000 spent at Hilton hotels. (10 base points+10 diamond bonus as AMEX card+14 per $ from Amex card+10 current standard promotion) Using different math, Hilton sells points to members at 0.5 cents per point, it will cost $500 to buy 100,000 points. This should still be higher than the redemption reimbursement rate to most properties.(but pay higher to encourage premium properties to open standard room) It is a well-balanced win-win-win-win situation: customers are happy, the program/corp makes more profit, Amex earns more interchange fees(I already max out all my additional certificates earning via spending), and properties get more footprint and increased spending. With the other interesting benefits of the program, I can see it surpassing Marriott and becoming the world's largest program very, very soon Sean O'Neill

Interesting piece of how Hotel Loyalty programs are most often geared towards business and leisure travelers. As loyalty programs mature and seek to drive value, hotel companies will need to decide on how to prioritize investments. According to recent reports and studies of consulting firms, following the asset light approach can hugely benefit hotel companies to deliver best value to their customer base! #luxurytravel #loyaltyprograms #businessinsights

🍽️ “Hospitality isn’t for me” 🍽️ 😩 we had to cancel one pre-match hospitality offering earlier this season due to lack of interest. How could we avoid this going forwards? Now, our hospitality lounge holds around 100 people, and we’re getting an average attendance in the region of 3,000 - so how could we ever be in a position of struggling to even selling enough to run it? There are lots of reasons why people might not want hospitality - the cost (especially in this climate), perceptions of who the company might be, and just the added time out of your day all spring to mind. People find reasons not to pay more on top of their match ticket for hospitality. So I sought to remove one of these reasons. For a recent Tuesday night fixture I reduced our hospitality with a seated match ticket bundle to £25 - the same price as a seated match ticket by itself! And for season ticket holders I gave them 10% off meaning the hospitality was just £14! And it sold out! On a Tuesday night! I went from cancellation to sell out in the space of 3 months! I believe in the strength of my hospitality product. I believe that once I get people sat around my tables they will have a great time. So I gave them no reason not to come. We are now on a streak of 3 sell outs in a row and in our next 6 many are nearing that point. If you believe in your product show people what you have. New people may never have even clicked on the hospitality option before, but now I have the opportunity to turn them into regulars.

Advocate for Innovation, Collaboration, & Industry Growth | Business Travel Industry Leader | President - GBTA Kansas City
Marriott International and Hilton Worldwide, both giants in the #hospitality sector, revealed intriguing insights in their recent annual 10-K filings. While Hilton exhibited a rapid increase in #loyaltyprogram membership, Marriott sustained a larger volume of rewards for its members. Both companies experienced notable profit growth over the past six years, with Marriott's adjusted EBITDA margin climbing to around 72.9% and Hilton's reaching 69%. Despite Marriott's smaller presence in the #vacationrental market compared to Airbnb, it showcased gains in capturing market share from independent #hoteliers. Hilton, on the other hand, emphasized its diversity and inclusion efforts, a contrast to Marriott's undisclosed data in this regard. Skift's analysis provided invaluable depth to understanding the strategies and performance of both Marriott and Hilton, shedding light on their respective positions in the industry. #businesstravel #traveldata

As a long-time Delta Sky Club member and loyal customer who has spent tens of thousands of dollars with Delta, I am concerned about the recent changes to the Sky Club policies and membership benefits. Comparing the Sky Club policies from 2023 to the current policies in 2024, there have been significant changes that negatively impact loyal customers. In 2023, Sky Club access was more flexible, allowing members to enjoy the lounges without stringent restrictions on entry times and guest allowances. The new policies implemented in 2024 have introduced tighter restrictions, including limiting access only to specific ticket classes or fare types and significantly reducing the guest access privileges. These changes have diminished the value of the Sky Club membership for frequent travelers who rely on the club's amenities for comfort and convenience. Additionally, the Sky Club membership benefits have seen a decline from what was offered in 2020. In 2020, members enjoyed more inclusive access policies and better value for the membership fees. The incremental changes leading up to 2024 have gradually eroded these benefits, making it harder for loyal customers to justify the cost of membership. The increased restrictions and reduced flexibility have created a less favorable experience for those of us who have remained committed to Delta through significant expenditures and loyalty. These policy changes in 2024 are adversely affecting club members, especially those of us who invest heavily in Delta’s services. As a frequent traveler who has consistently chosen Delta for my travel needs, I find the new policies disappointing and detrimental to the overall customer experience. The value proposition of the Sky Club membership has diminished, and it no longer meets the expectations set by Delta’s previous standards. I urge Delta Airlines to reconsider these recent policy changes and restore the benefits and flexibility that made the Sky Club membership a worthwhile investment for loyal customers. Addressing these concerns will help maintain the trust and satisfaction of your most dedicated passengers. I would love to hear your thoughts on this: Ed Bastian, Allison Ausband, Tim Mapes
