How Westgate Resorts Provides a New Personalized and Rewarding Experience Through the WOW Loyalty Program
As the travel and hospitality industry continues to evolve with an eye toward more personalized and rewarding experiences, the World of Westgate (WOW) Loyalty Program has emerged as a beacon of innovation and Owner and Guest appreciation.
This year, WOW Loyalty celebrates its second anniversary. This milestone is a testament to its transformative impact on over 360,000 Members' lives and travel experiences.
Launched in February 2022, the complimentary program has rapidly expanded its footprint, promising an enriched journey for every member, whether they're enjoying the plush comforts of a Westgate resort, embarking on global adventures or simply relishing the joys of home life.
The WOW Loyalty Program is distinguished by its holistic approach to membership benefits, transcending the traditional perks to offer a comprehensive suite of rewards that touch every aspect of a traveler's life. It's a program that understands the multifaceted nature of modern travel, offering benefits that range from the tangible to the experiential, ensuring that every moment, whether big or small, is embedded with extra value.
One of the most compelling aspects of the WOW program is the significant savings it offers. To date, members have enjoyed over $3.8 million in savings through exclusive discounts and partner deals, illustrating the program's commitment to delivering real, measurable value to its community.
These savings extend beyond Westgate properties, with WOW Partner Deals offering discounts and benefits that enhance Members' lives even when they're not traveling, ensuring the WOW experience is integrated into every lifestyle.
From seeing Usher, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran in concert to catching an Orlando Magic, Tampa Buccaneers or New York Yankees game, WOW Partner Deals allows members to pay less without missing out on the action. From theme parks like Disneyland to Universal Studios Hollywood, families can explore world-class attractions or local entertainment options in their hometowns.
WOW Loyalty’s approach to travel conveniences, particularly transportation, further underscores its commitment to a seamless and luxurious travel experience. Through strategic partnerships with Enterprise Holdings' portfolio, including Alamo®, Enterprise® and National®, WOW members enjoy discounted rates on rental cars, with the program’s highest tier Members receiving the added perk of status match with National Emerald Club Executive®. This feature not only elevates the travel experience but also embeds a sense of luxury and exclusivity into every journey.
The World of Westgate Mastercard®️ is another consumer cost-saving venture by Westgate Resorts. Both WOW members and non-members can sign up and earn 3% back in rewards* on expenditures at Westgate Resorts, like dining, shopping and spa treatments, plus 1% back in rewards* on all other purchases. The annual-fee-free** card is just another way Westgate adds value to every vacation experience.
The success of the WOW Loyalty program is further evidenced by the over 102,000 hotel stays booked at Westgate's best rates since the program's inception. This statistic not only highlights the program's popularity but also its effectiveness in delivering value to its members.
The tiered system of membership — Member, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Elite — ensures that all participants, from casual vacationers to Westgate Owners, find a level of recognition and rewards that suits their engagement with Westgate. The top four tiers, reserved exclusively for Owners, open the door to an even more exclusive realm of perks and privileges, celebrating the deepest levels of Westgate loyalty.
The user-friendly nature of the WOW program is epitomized by the Westgate Resorts Mobile App. This award-winning platform makes accessing benefits a seamless and intuitive process. Whether it's applying food and beverage discounts or utilizing resort credits, the app ensures that every interaction with the program is straightforward and enjoyable, enhancing the overall experience of being a Westgate Guest or Owner.
Yet, beyond the impressive savings and suite of benefits, the WOW Loyalty Program pays tribute to the appreciation and recognition of brand loyalty. It's a program that doesn't just offer rewards, it creates a sense of belonging and community, where every Member's journey is valued and celebrated.
In a world where loyalty programs are abundant, the World of Westgate Loyalty Program stands out for its commitment to enriching the lives of its members in meaningful ways. It's an invitation to a world where every stay is more than just a transaction, it's an experience.
The World of Westgate Loyalty Program continues to redefine what it means to belong to a loyalty program, offering not just rewards, but a richer, more joyful way to travel. Learn more and see for yourself what WOW Loyalty is all about at WorldofWestgate.com.
