I'm wondering if a frequent guest program would work for the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons?
They could team up and call themselve "the Ultimate Frequent Guest Program." or the V-I-G program (very exceptional guest program.)
Maybe they don't need Frequent Guest programs since they have a built in Loyality among customers. And if we have to get miles we can charge the stays to our airline linked or Amex or Optima cards.
As for DoubleTree; I think a Frequent Guest program would be ideal for them. I remember when they bought out Red Lion (which had a guest program) the program was dissolved.
I think it was Doubletree who bought Red Lion. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, it's nice they give cookies (Provided HOlly doesn't eat them before I can have a crumb!)
