Get clever with rewards program points and you\u2019ll be surprised by how far they can take you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true when they say the best things in life are free \u2013 especially if it\u2019s a holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps one of the travel industry\u2019s best-kept secrets; reward programs and royalty schemes can be used in conjunction to great effect, making your holiday budget go further than ever (think free flights, upgrades and even hotel stays).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is where Luxury Escapes\u2019 brand new (and completely free-to-join) rewards program, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9<\/a>, comes in. It can be used alongside your existing memberships, which means you can earn points with Luxury Escapes while still collecting airline miles, cruise credits or credit card rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on for how to leverage loyalty to rake in rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I earn points with Soci\u00e9t\u00e9?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every single booking you make with Luxury Escapes, from flights to hotels, tours and cruises, will earn you Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 points (with the exception of gift cards and service\/merchant fees). Each offer is marked with the number of points up for grabs. The more you book, the more points you\u2019ll collect \u2013 especially if you lock in an offer with a \u2018Bonus Points\u2019 badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, it\u2019s completely free to join. New members are automatically awarded Bronze Membership, or existing members can opt in here<\/a>. You can check your Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 points balance in the \u2018My Account\u2019 section of the Luxury Escapes website or in-app, any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 points unlock free rewards?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Points can be used like currency. You can use them to pay for all or just part of your escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are four membership tiers to unlock: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. To progress through the levels, you\u2019ll need to earn a certain number of Status Credits and count up your nights (Silver status requires 200 Status Credits and 10 nights booked, Gold status requires 600 Status Credits or 20 nights booked, and Platinum 1,000 Status Credits and 30 nights booked).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you progress through the levels, you will gain access to exclusive travel benefits, such as free room upgrades, luxury airport transfers, access at more than 1,500 airport lounges globally and free roaming data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, you can combine with your usual frequent flyer and loyalty programs, so you can still earn airline miles and credit card points alongside your Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 perks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

How do I get a free holiday with Soci\u00e9t\u00e9?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Points can take you places. Book wisely and add even more to your points bank, by snapping up offers with Bonus Points badges. Another hack is to look out for offers that earn you more Status Credits and nights to move you up the membership tiers, unlocking even more perks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve earned enough points, they can be used to pay for the entirety of your holiday (or you can use part points, part cash \u2013 the more points you have, the less you\u2019ll have to pay). And don\u2019t forget, these can be used in conjunction with your other loyalty programs, bringing you closer to paying with points, faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want even more? Complement your free Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 membership with LuxPlus+<\/a>, Luxury Escapes\u2019 VIP travel club. In addition to your Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 points and rewards, you can access all sorts of extra goodies, from member-only offers and early access to bonus inclusions. Now that\u2019s making your money work harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
