Prince of Travel

We don’t just work hard at Prince of Travel, we like to have a little fun too. And that’s exactly what some of our team recently did at our virtual Happy Hour. Who says working remote isn’t a team sport!

If you ask Rashaad, he might say one of the things he loves most about working at Prince of Travel is the fact he gets to see the world while doing it! His homebase may be just outside of Toronto, Ontario, but he loves exploring new countries (yes, he's been to 35 of them) where he often works remotely for a month at a time, most recently Split, Croatia. A few of his other favourite remote working spots include Lisbon and Costa Rica. As our Growth Marketing Specialist at Prince of Travel, Rashaad is focused on increasing our revenue through the acquisition and retention of customers. So where do you think Rashaad will be off to next? Well, he has his sights set on both Japan and India ✈ https://lnkd.in/gmY38kpp

Today’s Team Member Tuesday is a double whammy, we get to introduce you to Brad Bacon, our Marketing Director at Prince of Travel, AND we get to congratulate him because tomorrow is Brad’s one 1-year anniversary with the company!👏 Fun fact, Brad is one of our U.S based employees and lives in Denver, Colorado. That’s right, Prince of Travel has team members in Canada, the U.S and other parts of the world. When he’s not travelling, Brad is tinkering with boats and cars, hanging with his doggo, and cooing over his baby girl. Say hi to Brad and be sure to congratulate him on his 1-year at Prince of Travel. https://lnkd.in/gdsFjF-H  

Did you know we're so passionate about our team at Prince of Travel, we have a Director of People and Culture? Her name is Steffi Mahabir, and she sure does put the Prince of Travel "people" first! Which is why we wanted to introduce Steffi in our first "Team Member Tuesday" post! Steffi champions a positive and inclusive work environment at Prince of Travel where she's committed to professional development, a strong organizational culture, and employee engagement (and YES, she keeps us all super engaged!) Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Steffi now calls Edmonton, Alberta home with her husband and two children. If she's not keeping her kids and all of us at Prince of Travel busy, she's likely busy herself cooking up a storm in the kitchen!

How to Earn & Redeem World of Hyatt Free Night Awards 🌙 A great way to maximize hotel loyalty programs is through Free Night Awards, which allow you to stay at luxurious hotels for free. With World of Hyatt, you can earn Free Night Awards by holding the right credit card and by engaging with the World of Hyatt program. Let's dive in 👇👇 - ▪️ The Chase World of Hyatt Credit Card The Chase World of Hyatt Credit Card is the best way to earn World of Hyatt Free Night Awards. By renewing the card for a second year and paying $95 for the annual fee, you receive a Category 1–4 Free Night Award. This is a great deal since you can redeem Free Night Awards for hotels that cost much more than the $95 annual fee, and you can earn a second Free Night Award if you spend $15,000 each year. - ▪️ World of Hyatt Milestone Rewards Another way to unlock Free Night Awards is by earning elite qualifying nights as part of the World of Hyatt program. There are four thresholds at which you earn a Free Night Award: - At 30 nights, you receive a Category 1–4 Free Night Award, - At 60 nights, a Category 1–7 Free Night Award, - Those who reach 100 nights get an additional Category 1–7 Free Night Award, - Finally, at 150 nights, you earn the prize of an Ultimate Free Night Award, which you can use at Hyatt's most aspirational luxury properties, such as Park Hyatt New York or Alila Ventana Big Sur. - ▪️ Hyatt Brand Explorer Award With Brand Explorer, you have an opportunity to earn up to five Category 1–4 Free Night Awards. For every five unique Hyatt Brands you stay with, you unlock one Free Night Award. With 28 unique Hyatt Brands to choose from, you have lots of great options! - ▪️ Redeeming Free Night Awards You can redeem Free Night Awards by logging onto your World of Hyatt account and searching for hotels with standard room availability. If you have a Free Night Award available, you can select it when choosing how to pay. Free Night Awards do come with an expiration date, so be sure to complete your booked stay before the award expires. Also, keep in mind that if you have no upcoming travel plans, you can gift your Free Night Award to another Hyatt member. This a great way to make sure no Free Night Awards go to waste. - The value of World of Hyatt Free Night Awards is in their ability to let you enjoy luxurious stays while paying nothing out-of-pocket. Whether you're a Chase cardholder, a Milestone Rewards earner, or Hyatt brand explorer, these awards offer incredible opportunities for travel enthusiasts.
