The program debuted earlier this year, offering its nine-million global members a free program to join and the opportunity to earn points and status credits across Luxury Escapes’ global network of holidays, tours, hotel bookings and experiences.

From today, agents using Luxury Escapes Agent Hub platform will be able to apply client membership details as part of the checkout process, allowing them to earn both Société points and status credits.

Chris Brandon, Luxury Escapes Senior Manager, Retail said the Agent Hub upgrade is a result of agent feedback.

“We are constantly seeking input and feedback from our trade community on ways we can further enhance the Agent Hub platform and the ability to include Société information was a key callout.

“We are also looking at additional functionality across the platform that will allow agents to claim the points if their client is not a member.”

Members earn Status Credits on eligible Luxury Escapes purchases, building credits that move them into higher tiers, starting with Bronze and moving to Silver, Gold and ultimately Platinum, to gain access to more exclusive benefits including:
