NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Free Mr & Mrs Smith membership for everyone
In times of austerity, boutique-hotel lovers don't have to sacrifice their stylish travel habits. Award-winning publisher, booking website and travel club Mr & Mrs Smith is ringing in the new year by giving something back to its customers. And not just for now: forever.
Join the club
We've overhauled our existing membership scheme, so now it's not just those who pay that get the perks and privileges; it's everybody. In short: everyone who books with Smith gets money back, access to exclusive offers, and free extras at every hotel in our collection. As always, you can still earn points through your credit card rewards program while you earn with Smith.
Open-door policy
These benefits used to only come with a $30-a-year BlackSmith membership. Now, anyone will be able to sign up for free lifetime BlackSmith membership, giving them:
- 1% back with every booking in their loyalty account, to spend on future stays (a two-week honeymoon in Thailand could earn you a cheeky anniversary night in the New York City);
- An exclusive member extra at every hotel (such as bottle of champagne, spa treatments and picnic lunches);
- Access to Smith-exclusive hotel offers and money off luxury brands.
Everyone's a winner
Existing members benefit too. Mr & Mrs Smith has upgraded all current BlackSmith members to SilverSmith for the duration of their membership year, and SilverSmiths have been bumped up to GoldSmith level.
More money back
- We're the only boutique hotel specialist to offer money back on bookings.
- Earn money back on every booking through Mr & Mrs Smith in addition to earnings from your existing credit card points system. That means you earn more money than anywhere else.
Mr & Mrs Smith's loyalty scheme
The most generous, enjoyable and simple-to-use loyalty scheme in boutique travel is now available to everyone.
- Earn money not points
- Spend money on future stays
- No restrictions on when and where to book
- The more you spend, the more you make
Upgrade your membership
Frequent travellers can access even more benefits by upgrading; SilverSmith ($60 a year) and GoldSmith ($600) memberships offer more money back, bigger discounts, half-price hotel deals and, for GoldSmiths only, free room upgrades and a personal travel concierge service.
