Hotels Upgrade My Clients All the Time. You Could be Next. Here’s How…
The penthouse at The Times Square Edition
Everyone loves a hotel room upgrade. As you make your summer travel plans, if there’s a 4.5 star or 5 star hotel involved, get in touch. By booking through me, you’ll get priority for upgrade and complimentary breakfast for two. Along with other valuable perks and amenities. Not sure what I mean by this? It’s all about economies of scale and the amount of business my agency generates with hotel brands. If they need to upgrade someone, they’d much rather upgrade a travel advisor’s clients than someone who booked through Booking.com or Expedia. Note the programs I mention below are in addition to my relationship with Virtuoso, where I can VIP your stay at more than 1800 hotels worldwide.
As a top-producing travel agent, here are a few of the main brands I work with and how I can upgrade your trip.
Marriott Stars & Luminous
Marriott STARS & LUMINOUS is Marriott's invite-only perks and benefits program for top-producing travel agents. It offers a higher level of service, benefits, and amenities for guests booking through Antidote Travel. STARS is specifically for Marriott's luxury brands, while Luminous covers the majority of their premium and lifestyle brands. And yes, we can combine your Bonvoy status with my Marriott status! Here’s an example of just one Marriott property and what I can do…
