PUERTO VALLARTA — Velas Resorts has launched a travel advisor rewards program called Velas Ambassador Club.
The new program, in partnership with My Booking Rewards, allows agents to redeem cash bonuses via Visa or Amazon gift cards and accumulate points redeemable for complimentary stays at any Velas Resorts’ seven properties, in Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and Riviera Maya.
Advisors in Canada and the U.S. can now log reservations at www.velasambassadorclub.com after booking direct or in their preferred partner platform to register for their rewards for additional benefits
Advisors can also register weddings and social group bookings to receive exclusive additional benefits. Velas Resorts says it chose My Booking Rewards for its integrated online solution that fosters relationships by connecting advisors and suppliers.
THREE REWARD LEVELS
Velas Ambassador Club offers three certified rewards levels: Ambassador, Master and Elite.
Advisors begin as Level One Ambassador members upon logging between three and 59 room nights, receiving 1,000 welcome points and an inclusive day pass to Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit or Velas Vallarta (valued at US$200).
Achieving the Master Level requires logging between 60 and 119 room nights, with advisors receiving a 1,500 points bonus.
Elite status is attained by logging 120 room nights or more, resulting in a 2,000 points bonus. At the Elite level, advisors receive up to 950 points per booking. Points can be used towards stays at any of the resorts, in-suite amenities, and more. Travel advisors also receive a bonus of up to $75 per booking.
In the new platform, advisors can also opt to complete a brief training program with video lessons and quizzes for each resort. Upon completion of the training program, the advisor will be provided with a coupon book with exclusive benefits for clients including room upgrades, spa discounts and VIP amenities.
On the Velas Ambassador Club site, group bookings for weddings and social groups are also supported. A minimum of 10 rooms for three nights qualifies for the travel advisor to earn up to an additional $500 cash bonus or a complimentary two night stay.
A new informational landing page (https://socialsavings.velasresorts.com) provides additional details on group inclusions, quotes, and a forum for questions.
With the new program Velas Resorts says it aims to further recognize and reward the hard work and dedication of the agents and advisors. Top agents will qualify for its FAM trips, the Velas Partner of the Year event and more.
