As the holidays approach, Park Hyatt Hotels and American Express are encouraging people to take a break and reconnect with family, friends and loved ones with the Hyatt's Hometown Getaways program. In addition to special rates from November through January, Park Hyatt Hotels are offering qualified weekend guests a $50 American Express Gift Cheque to spend however and whenever they choose - all in an effort to provide guests with special holiday rates and to support the local economy.
We always offer excellent holiday rates so our guests can visit with friends and family at this special time of year, said Wendy Falk, vice president of marketing programs for Hyatt Hotels Corporation. However, Park Hyatt Hotels and American Express also wanted to take a leadership role in both revitalizing local economies and giving our best customers some spending money to go out and have some fun. We're encouraging Park Hyatt guests to spend the $50 in the city where they are visiting.
Starting November 16, 2001, Gold Passport member guests who check in on a Friday or Saturday for two nights, pay a qualifying rate and pay with an American Express Card will receive a $50 American Express Gift Cheque. And, if a guest is not currently enrolled in Gold Passport, Hyatt's frequent guest program, they can receive an instant membership by signing up at the time of reservation or the front desk. American Express Gift Cheques can be used anywhere and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
We're glad that so many people will be able to enjoy the holidays with their loved ones, and we hope the American Express Gift Cheque makes their visit a little more festive, said Elizabeth Cohen, vice president of Lodging Industries at American Express. American Express is proud to be working with Hyatt on this initiative to boost local economies.
