Ritz Carlton recently introduced its own frequent stay program, Ritz Carlton Rewards. You can choose to receive reward points or airline miles on your favorite airline (20 are participating). Reward points can be used for hotel stays and room upgrades, airline tickets and special travel offers. It’s linked with the Marriott Rewards program (Ritz’s parent company) providing you a great variety of reward options. Elite status (starts with just 10 nights) offers additional amenities and bonus points. Join the program now and stay at two Ritz Carlton hotels before December 31 and receive a free night stay (you can earn up to two certificates). The certificates are valid from one year from the date of issue. Note that current Marriott Rewards members can not qualify for this promotion.
