Rewarding leisure and business travelers with one free* night's accommodation for every ten nights stayed, the Welcome Rewards program gives Hotels.com customers the chance to redeem their free night's accommodation across more than 85,000 hotels globally, with no blackouts.
"Americans love loyalty programs and we are proud of Welcome Rewards as it is simple and easy-to-use as well as more generous than many existing hotel loyalty programs," said Nigel Pocklington, chief marketing officer of Hotels.com.
To celebrate the anniversary, Hotels.com is offering U.S. travelers up to 40 percent off** selected hotel bookings made through the Hotels.com Welcome Rewards Anniversary Sale.
To mark the four-year milestone, Hotels.com invited prominent American bloggers to experience the benefits of the program first-hand. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
