洲际酒店 Royal Ambassador 条款更新以及希尔顿更新了 Spouse Stays Free 错误
2014-08-23
Royal Ambassador Criteria: Royal Ambassador status is by invitation only. To qualify for invitation to Royal Ambassador status, an Ambassador member must: During their membership year, stay at least 60 qualifying nights in any IHG® properties including InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, HUALUXE™, EVEN™ Hotels, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites. At least 20 of these qualifying nights must be at InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts properties. The member must also stay at 3 or more different InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts properties. SCH reserves the right to change these criteria at any time and without prior notification.大家应该知道，洲际酒店旗下的连锁酒店会员分两种，一种是免费注册的优悦会，适用于假日酒店等一些大部分酒店，另外一种是 Ambassador，专门是针对洲际酒店的会员，这个是需要购买的，同时Royal Ambassador 是可以有概率邀请新朋友成为 Royal Ambassador 。这个条款更新主要说明了 Royal Ambassador 有邀请新朋友成为 Royal Ambassador 的最低标准为 ：60 qualifying nights；最少20个夜晚是洲际酒店的入住；同时要满足在三个不一样的洲际酒店入住。请注意，这个是最低标准，而不是达到此标准一定可以有 Royal Ambassador 的邀请，同时 qualifying nights 是必须花钱入住才算是 qualifying nights，否则属于 rewards nights。个人觉得这样的修改，洲际酒店的 RA 将属于最难保级的常旅客计划之一，相对于喜达屋的白金会员，喜达屋的白金会员简直是太简单不过了。同时，本身黑市价格几千元左右的 Royal Ambassador 的邀请，会进一步上涨价格。当然，优悦会的金卡以及白金卡，可能因为 Royal Ambassador 的数量减少，应该待遇会有一定的增加。洲际酒店的事情说完了，该说说希尔顿酒店了，之前很多人拿到了希尔顿酒店的金卡后，发现希尔顿金卡的权益有这样一条“Spouse Stays Free”，就是夫妻入住免费。这也算权益，不是在扯淡吗？他们最近也修正了这个错误，改为了“2nd Guest Stays Free”：
2nd Guest Stays Free: A second guest stays free in the Member’s room on qualifying stays at hotels when there are additional charges for double occupancy. This benefit excludes stays at any hotel when the rate includes additional components (e.g., meals, activities, parking), or specialized rates (e.g. package rates, bed & breakfast rates) that are quoted as a per person or per room charge.具体条款可以点击这里查看。为什么同一房间第二位入住人免费算权益？因为很多地方的希尔顿酒店，特别是日本的希尔顿酒店，一个房间里住一个人跟住两个人价格是不一样的，两个人住一间房间的价格比一个人住一间房间的价格要贵。这个权益就表示，两个人住还是一个人住都是跟一个人入住的价格一样，让你享受了部分差价的权益。
