Are you missing out on valuable income because of empty rooms?

If you become a partner hotel with HotelEdge Advantage Card  we can help you fill them up.

Please take time to take a look at our short overview of who we are and what we can offer you.

Who we are?

HotelEdge Advantage Card  constitutes an exclusive travellers club, established in 1999. Our aim is to provide a supplementary income for participating hotels by filling rooms that would otherwise remain empty.

All participating hotels allow our members 50% discount off standard rates, subject to expected availability. Members receive a hotel directory featuring all member hotels, i.e more than 4000 hotels spread across 135 countries.

Reservations are made directly with hotels or through HotelEdge Advantage Card' reservation service. Members will state that they are HotelEdge Advantage Card cardholders, and they will present their membership card on arrival.

What we can offer?

Filling up your empty rooms
We aim to provide a supplementary income for participating hotels by filling rooms that would otherwise be empty. This way your hotel gets 50% off the standard rate instead of no income at all. In addition, our members using non-discounted hotel facilities such as bars, restaurants, etc provide a considerable income. Remember that you can decline the discount if you expect to be fully booked.

No cost
There are no costs whatsoever to be a participant in our program, and there are no commissions payable to HotelEdge Advantage Card .

1. How long is the enrollment period for the Member Hotel Program?

A: From the signed agreement is received, it will take 1 or 2 days before you are listed in our Web directory, which is available to all members. HotelEdge Advantage Card distributors are also informed that you are included and hence members will know when they want to make a reservation in your region.

2. Are there any costs incurred by hotels?
A: NO, absolutely none. Rates offered to HotelEdge Advantage Card members are non commissionable and there are no sign on fees, or annual charges of any kind. All that is required by a hotel is the discount of 50% off standard rate – based on expected availability.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Do we always have to offer 50% discount? Is there no other level of discount?
A: To keep the HotelEdge Advantage Card program as ‘clean’ as possible, there is only one type of discount that is accepted; 50% off standard rate. This way all involved parties know what to expect and what to offer – and no misunderstandings will occur.

|^ To Top|

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. How many room nights can we expect from this cooperation?
A: The prognoses of how many members going to one specific place is hard for HotelEdge Advantage Card to predict. We are not able to keep statistics of the reservations as a lot of members are making their own reservations, directly with the establishment. HotelEdge Advantage Card rates are not based on quantity, but on selling the empty rooms. All reservations from HotelEdge Advantage Card should therefore be valued as extra income, and not compared to larger companies providing a given number of room nights.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Why would I offer my hotel rooms at half the price?
A: We do believe that offering a room at 50% off regular standard rate is better then leaving the room empty. Making 50% is better than loosing 100%. As long as the discount is always given subject to expected availability and you are the one to decide your availability – you really have nothing to lose by this. HotelEdge Advantage Card members are filling up empty rooms and nothing else.

6. Can my establishment become ‘Hotel of the Month’ on your Travel Portal?
A: Yes, of course! What we require from you is that you include the HotelEdge Advantage Card’ logo as a link on your web site. We do believe that visitors to your site will also find valuable information on our Travel Portal as we are rapidly growing and increasing the available information. ‘Hotel of the month’ has generated reservations for hotels, so it is definitely worth a try, and this additional advertising is also FREE of charge!

7. How do we recognize a HotelEdge Advantage Card member?
A: All members have their personalized gold card with the HotelEdge Advantage Card logo on it. There is also a unique membership number and most cards have an expiry date. If not, the cards must be assumed to be invalid. Request to see the card upon arrival to be sure that this person is entitled to the great discount. Feel free to check the expiry date too, and should the card be invalid, then you are kindly asked to withdraw it and return it to Travel Edge main or branch offices.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. How are reservations made?
A: Reservations are made directly with hotels or through HotelEdge Advantage Card’ reservation service. HotelEdge Advantage Card offer their members assistance with making abroad reservations; hence a lot of requests will come from HotelEdge Advantage Card distributors – on behalf of their members. Many members make their own reservations, so you need to be prepared for both kinds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Should we accept reservations through a travel agent?
A: No, you don’t have to. HotelEdge Advantage Card have informed their members to either make reservations through a HotelEdge Advantage Card office or directly with the hotel. The reason is simply that a travel agent not is entitled to a commission when a member gets the HotelEdge Advantage Card rate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. What do we have to do during a membership year?
A: All you have to do is keep your existing staff and new employees informed about the ongoing contract so that members are recognized when they call in. If you change rates or facilities then you are kindly asked to inform HotelEdge Advantage Card of this so that we can change our database accordingly and offer our members and your guests the most accurate information possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. How long a period are we obliged to commit for?

A: The agreement that is signed is valid for one year, and renews automatically every year unless cancelled by any of the two parties. It has a cancellation period of 3 months, so a hotel is free to cancel, seeing that it gives HotelEdge Advantage Card reasonable time in order to remove your hotel from the existing listings. HotelEdge Advantage Card can also cancel if the hotel is not adhering to the paragraphs in the agreement or any other situation occurs that does not comply with the agreement.
