Jan 3, 2019Just got welcomed as a "platinum" member of the Rydges' PriorityGuest program after 20 nights this year. Rydges' program is free and gives many of the benefits other chains only give you if you pay $300 up front for (eg) an Accor Privilege card
Platinum benefits at Rydge's:
- 15 points per night [10 points for non-status members]. Free nights are 150 points and seem to be unrestricted - I just used points to book the last room at Rydge's Perth for tomorrow, listed at $450.
- 3pm checkout [1pm for non-status members]
- 50% off food and beverage
- 50% off internet [also for non-status members]
- 10% off best available rate [but non-status members also see better rates around 10% off, if logged in]
This program is free. Well worth joining to immediately get better rates, 1pm checkout and half-price internet

It's a good program, but just watch the F&B discounts as they changed recently. Still good, but no quite so open slather as it used to be

Rydges will be joining the GHA Discovery program from 1st April onwards but you can use their benifits now!!!Originally Posted by 8dimsum
While researching for a hotel in Sydney, I signed up with Rydges, and their rates and benefits were the best for us. Also the world square location was great.
