For the second year running, Le Club AccorHotels, the AccorHotels group loyalty program, was named the best hotel loyalty program of the year in the Asia/Pacific/Middle East and in Europe/Africa at the prestigious Freddie Awards, considered the 'Oscars of Loyalty'.
“Being awarded at the Freddie Awards for the second year running is a great token of recognition for the Le Club AccorHotels loyalty program and for the teams: these awards directly reflect our guests' satisfaction, which is an absolute priority to us. With more than 18,000 new members every day, Le Club AccorHotels has been significantly enriched in 2015 with new offers and exclusive advantages which, more than ever before, put guest recognition and service personnalization at the heart of the program” commented AccorHotels' Vice President Customer Experience and Loyalty Emanuel Baudart.
Le Club AccorHotels also won awards in the following categories:
- “Best Promotional Campaign” in Europe/Africa and in the Asia/Pacific/Middle East, for the generous May 2015 promotion which allowed members to win up to €200 in points
- “Best Customer Service” in Europe/Africa, thanks to the service center which answers guests in 11 languages
By voting for Le Club Accorhotels, travelers across these regions have rewarded the generosity of the only hotel loyalty program which allows them to spend their points without any expiry date or availability restrictions, all over the world.
Created in 1988, the Freddie Awards give loyalty program members an opportunity to vote for the airline and hotel chain programs that, in their view, offer them the best rewards. They vote online for their favorite programs in three geographical areas: Europe/Africa, the Asia/Pacific/Middle East and the Americas. This year, over 3.7 million voters cast Freddie Awards ballots.
