It allows members of the Avis Preferred loyalty program worldwide and members of Hotels.com Rewards loyalty program get upgraded loyalty status.
Members of Avis Preferred Plus can apply for complimentary Hotels.com Rewards Silver membership while Avis President’s Club members may apply for complimentary Hotels.com Rewards Gold membership.
Hotels.com Rewards Gold members, those who book and stay more than 30 nights in their membership year, may apply for complimentary Avis Preferred Plus membership.
Hotels.com Rewards members collect one stamp for every night stayed, and get one reward per 10 stamps.
This can be redeemed at any eligible hotel around the world numbering more than a 500,000 with no blackout dates.
Beth Kinerk, Senior Vice President, Sales, at Avis Budget Group said: "After a year of restrictions, Avis is welcoming customers back to better – with a faster, safer and more service-driven travel experience."
In addition to earning stamps towards reward nights, frequent customers who earn Silver or Gold membership will receive extra benefits.
Silver members, collecting 10 or more stamps a year, will receive Price Guarantee Plus travel benefits such as free breakfast, Wi-Fi or spa vouchers at VIP Access properties and priority customer service.
Gold members also receive these benefits, plus free room upgrades where available and guaranteed two-hour late check-out at VIP Access properties.
