Cendant Hotel Group
today announced that Outrigger Hotels & Resorts has joined the company’s
TripRewards loyalty program as an earning and redemption partner. Outrigger Hotels & Resorts is the second non-Cendant hotel brand to
participate in the TripRewards program. Members can earn and redeem points
for free stays at participating Outrigger locations in Hawaii.

Jill Noblett, Cendant Hotel Group vice president of loyalty and direct
marketing, said the addition of Outrigger Hotels & Resorts as an earning
and redemption partner adds significant value to TripRewards. “We continue
to enhance TripRewards to the benefit of members, who now can earn and
redeem points in all fifty states, including Hawaii.”

Featuring points-earning opportunities with more than 6,000 hotels and 46
partners as well as 140-plus point-redemption options, TripRewards is the
world’s largest loyalty program, based on the number of participating
hotels.

The program’s “open earn” structure allows members faster access to point
earning by staying in Cendant-franchised hotels, renting Avis(R) and
Budget(R) rental cars and purchasing everyday products and services from
earning partners.

Likewise, TripRewards members can redeem their points for either hotel
stays—with no blackout dates—or partner rewards including airline
tickets, resort vacations, electronics, home appliances, sporting goods,
movie and theme park tickets and gift certificates from 46 retailers and
restaurants.

TripRewards members may elect to earn TripRewards points or airline miles
or rail points for their hotel stays at Cendant-franchised hotels. A
hassle- free online system allows members to check points and redeem for
rewards 24 hours a day.
