The Launch of Club Marriott Loyalty Card

It was with much aplomb and style that the Club Marriott Loyalty Card was launced recently by Marriott International, at the swanky Gastro, Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur.  A leading region wide dining loyalty program, the card provides benefits for members at 338 participating hotels, across 18 brands in 17 countries.

“Loyalty is the key driving force that always allows us to cut through the competition," said Petr Raba, Vice President, Food and Beverage, Asia-Pacific for Marriott International. "Club Marriott gives us the platform to drive loyalty in food and beverage, via rewarding and recognizing our Malaysian guests through exclusive benefits and memorable experiences across a variety of brands,” he added.

In Malaysia alone, there are 14 hotels across 8 brands, including Sabah and Sarawak that are part of this program, and of course, loyalty cards come with a host of benefits, such as dining certificates, group dining vouchers, points, room discounts, upgrades and even spa vouchers.

In addition, members enjoy special privileges and year-round savings on dining consumption at over 330 participating hotels in Asia Pacific is made available through this program. Members are entitled to earn additional value with the  special members’ accommodation rates for a full 12 months.

Priced at RM788.00, Club Marriott membership offers guests access to benefits of dining, spa and other privileges across the region at over 330 participating hotels in Asia Pacific. Upon joining Club Marriott, guests will receive a complimentary one-night room stay, buffet for two persons and more*.

“With over 200,000 members today and growing, the new Club Marriott has evolved as the preferred Hotel Dining Loyalty Program," adds Petr Raba, Vice President, Food and Beverage, Asia-Pacific for Marriott International. “By offering locally relevant benefits to members, we aim to continue to have a sharp focus on positioning our hotels as ‘the favorite destinations where locals go to meet, eat and drink.’”

It was most lovely to see old friend Cindy Yoong...

A fabulous banquet was prepared for the media guests and regular Club Marriott guests, with a surprise fun twist at the beginning.  Chefs from 5 participating hotels were given a black box of goodies and had to perform ala Master Chef using the ingredients in the box.

Chefs from Le Meridien Putrajaya  explaining to Petr Raba what they had created.

It was indeed a most enjoyable afternoon, and always a pleasure to see old familiar faces, who have contributed so much to the local culinary scene, like Chef Antoine Rodriguez of Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur, and Chef Rajesh of the Westin.

Thanks for the media invite, Zeno Malaysia.
