Rental Escapes recently celebrated two years of its travel advisor REwards program, offering advisors a valuable opportunity to experience the luxury villa products they sell. Launched in 2023, this full-service luxury villa company has created a program that remains unique in the industry, allowing advisors to earn points on every dollar booked, which can be redeemed for personal villa stays.
“We created our innovative REwards program to give back to the travel advisor community that plays such a vital role in our success,” said Willie Fernandez, chief marketing officer of Rental Escapes, in a press statement. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see advisors taking advantage of the points they’ve earned to relax, explore new destinations, and experience our product firsthand.”
Rental Escapes’ By the Numbers
The program’s success is evident in its numbers: over 50 million points issued and more than 75 travel advisors who have completed the full rewards cycle—earning points, redeeming them, booking accommodations and enjoying villa vacations with their families and friends.
Travel advisors utilizing the REwards program have stayed in premium properties across the Caribbean and Europe. Among these properties is Arrecife Royale in Punta Cana, a 9-bedroom villa that accommodates up to 20 guests, offering views of the La Cana Golf & Beach Club. This property features luxury amenities including private chef service, housekeeping staff and dedicated butler service.
The program’s strategic value extends beyond the obvious financial benefits of commissions and seasonal promotions. By experiencing these properties firsthand, advisors gain practical knowledge that transforms their client consultations.
Registration is straightforward—advisors who register as preferred partners on the Rental Escapes website are automatically enrolled in REwards and start accumulating points with their first booking. They receive quarterly updates detailing their point balance. Of note: these points never expire, offering flexibility in when and how they are redeemed.
