TORONTO –Huntington will release an ALL NEW Loyalty program early in February 2009.The program will allow Travel Agents to register for their very own *VISA Rewards Card which can then be used to accumulate dollar points on incentives given for both Air and Hotel bookings.  The Huntington *VISA Reward Card can be used anywhere in the world where *VISA is accepted, giving Agents the utmost in flexibility.  The company’s incentive program remains unchanged: $10 for an Economy Class Air Booking, $30 for a Business Class Air Booking, $50 for a First Class Air Booking and $10 for any 3+ consecutive Hotel nights booked online through www.huntingtontravel.net.  Incentives apply to bookings made online or through the agencies call centre.

The Huntington *VISA Rewards Card is updated within 48 hours after ticket issuance.  Agents simply accumulate a balance on the Rewards card and SPEND!

Business supporters of the Huntington Rewards program will have access to a personal online account where they are able to check their transactions in terms of credits earned, redemptions made, view statements, change their personal profiles and much more.

“Most people prefer to travel cash free in today’s environment.  As *VISA is accepted by majority of vendors world-wide, I have to believe that this Loyalty Program will be the most powerful yet.  We want to offer this significant perk to our business supporters, the Travel Agents, and I am confident that our customers will see this as value beyond just a Gift Card!” says Kiran Budhdev, President of Huntington Travel.

Huntington’s NEW Loyalty program will eventually replace all current incentive programs provided by the company.  Agents wishing to convert their Huntington POINTS into *VISA Rewards should email the Rewards Team directly at rewards@huntingtontravel.net.
