Luxury Escapes is ramping up the style factor for its New Zealand customers!
Its rewards programme Société is now available in New Zealand which gives local travellers a new way to enjoy status perks and earn rewards across holidays, tours, hotel bookings, flights, and experiences.
Société was launched in Australia earlier this year and has quickly become one of the fastest-growing lifestyle rewards programmes in the region, with almost 900,000 members.
It offers free membership and the ability to earn Status Credits and Points across every Luxury Escapes booking and then redeem Points with no blackout dates or restrictions.
Luxury Escapes co-founder and CEO Adam Schwab says Société Points are real currency and not restricted like most travel programmes.
“Our customers can redeem their Points for absolutely everything on Luxury Escapes, from tours, flights, and experiences to travel insurance and hotel rooms, whenever they want. Members can pay with Points, or a mix of Points and cash.”
Customers can even ‘triple-dip’ by earning Société Points alongside their credit-card and airline loyalty programmes.
“Our goal is to become New Zealand’s favourite lifestyle rewards programme, continually adding more value for our members,” says Schwab.
So, what are the perks?
Members earn Status Credits on eligible purchases, moving through Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers with access to exclusive benefits such as:
- Guaranteed room upgrades at the time of booking (no arriving on the day and crossing fingers for an upgrade)
- Airport lounge access at Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown International Airport’s and other global destinations including Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane (using the uber lux Aspire lounges like The House lounge in Melbourne with full open bar and a la carte and buffet dining options throughout the day)
- Private chauffeur airport transfers from home to the airport
- Priority customer support via a dedicated 24/7 number
- Lots of bonuses and discounts (TravelShoot vouchers and tour experience credits).
- Hidden offers only available to Société members (e.g. first-look exclusive travel offers)
