Accor and Ennismore have new perks for those going free agent on travel loyalty
12.04.2024 - 18:19 / thepointsguy.com
Accor's Ennismore lifestyle hotel offshoot has a new recurring Friday promotion for those in its Dis-loyalty program.
Dis-loyalty will now offer "Friday Fix" deals that allow members to enjoy hefty discounts if they book a reservation or have a meal at an Ennismore hotel. Ennismore, which Accor has a majority stake in, includes popular lifestyle hotel brands like The Hoxton, Mondrian, Delano and SLS. Each week will bring a new Friday Fix discount for Dis-loyalty members.
Members can get 50% discounts on hotel stays for the month after a deal gets announced or 30% discounts on bars and restaurants at selected hotel brands for a week. Dis-loyalty members already get 50% discounts on its "just-opened club" of new hotels. So, the promotion is seen as an opportunity to explore some of Ennismore's iconic existing properties that are suddenly "deja new" — at least in the eyes of the person in charge of selecting that week's Friday Fix.
The first Friday Fix, announced April 12, is for 50% off hotel stays at Mondrian Doha in Qatar and for SO/ Maldives — on TPG's list of most-anticipated hotels for this year — for stays throughout May. You have until May 24 to book and take advantage of the half-off nightly rates.
The next Friday Fix on April 19 will see 30% discounts off food and beverage purchases at select restaurants across the entire Ennismore network, including the popular Peruvian rooftop restaurant Llama Inn at The Hoxton, Shoreditch. Check out the Dis-loyalty website on April 19 for the full list of participating venues. Restaurant discounts extend to advance reservations and walk-ins. (You'll need to show proof of Dis-Loyalty membership on your smartphone.).
The first Friday Fix next month, on May 3, will bring another round of 50% off hotel stays. This time, it'll include the Mondrian Hong Kong and SLS Dubai for the entire month of June (with the booking window running from May 3 until June 23).
To take advantage of each week's Friday Fix hotel deal, log into the Dis-loyalty website and book hotel reservations there. Show your membership card off the website from your smartphone to take advantage of discounts in hotel restaurants.
Ennismore launched Dis-Loyalty amid the swelling broader travel sentiment that travel loyalty programs aren't giving as much value as they used to. Thus, more travelers are going "free agent" with loyalty and just booking based on what best suits them at the time. This presents an opportunity for innovations like travel subscription services that offer discounts and perks often associated with various loyalty program tiers.
For $18 per month ($216 per year), Dis-Loyalty members get a variety of benefits:
Rate discounts are based on the Best Flexible Rate on Ennismore's main
