101 Series: Travel Agent Reward Programs

• Cassandra Chichester
• October 8, 2018 June 23, 2022

As promised, I wanted to do a DEEP dive into the travel agent reward programs available. Many agents may not know about them. I should preface this by saying that the rewards are NOT good enough to be the only reason for being a travel agent. I look at it as simply an extra perk with the role. I’ve learned a lot in my two years about the different programs. I’ve already reaped the benefits of some of them. This post has taken me HOURS to compile, but I hope you’ll find it helpful. Here goes…

AM Resorts – AM Rewards

If you are a travel agent, there’s a very good chance you are selling AM Resorts. That includes all of the Breathless, Secrets, Dreams, Sunscape, Zoetry, Now, and Reflect Resorts. The AM Resorts are scattered all over Mexico and the Caribbean. All AM Resorts are all inclusive and some brands like Secrets and Breathless are adults only.

If you haven’t taken the course to become a “Master Agent” I highly recommend taking it. You’ll learn not just about the different properties but also about marriage legality rules in different countries. Very helpful when planning a destination wedding .

Agent Website : https://amrewards.amragents.com/ Training : You can become a “Master Agent” and earn heavily discounted per night rates to use for personal travel Reward : Submit bookings on the site and earn free nights for personal use or cash. Please note if the value of your free trip exceeds $600 or more you will be required to pay taxes.

There’s also contests and drawings where you can potentially win extra cash after you submit your bookings. This is definitely one of the best travel agent reward programs out there. I’ve already redeemed 4 free nights (which equals 15,600 AM Reward points) to use in Jamaica this February at Sunscape Splash for personal travel. I still have a few more points left over. Make sure you are keeping up with all of your AM bookings and submitting them accordingly. Earn every single point you can. This is a great way to visit destinations like Punta Cana, Montego Bay, Playa Bonita in Panama, Willemstad in Curacao, and Puerto Vallarta in Mexico.

Pro tip : The adults only properties require more points per night than the family-friendly resorts. Also, note that points do expire after 18 months. If you don’t USE them, you LOSE them.

Sandals – Points to Paradise

I touched base on the Sandals Points to Paradise in my latest Certified Sandals Specialist post , but wanted to go a little more in depth. When you’re on the travel agent portal, just simply click “Agent Incentives” and then “Points to Paradise.”

For every net room dollar you book, you get a point towards your own luxury included vacation. All commissionable bookings are eligible, whether you book a couple, family, or social group. Your points stay with you no matter where you go in the industry, so you can use them whenever and wherever you want. When it’s time to redeem your points, all you have to do is long on to the portal. View available dates and submit your request in minutes. Super easy!

Agent Website : https://taportal.sandals.com/ Training : My last post goes more in depth but essentially you’ll need to be a Certified Sandals Specialist meaning you have attended your required annual CSS workshop and have at least 1 active booking for the year. Reward : Earn free room nights for personal travel with every booking you submit onto the travel agent portal. Similar to AM Rewards, more luxurious products require more points to redeem.

Pro tip : You don’t have to book with Sandals directly in order to redeem the points. Although I recommend booking with them directly, sometimes clients require smaller down payments. I get it. So you book Sandals through a supplier like Delta Vacations that requires a smaller deposit. Well, good news! You can still add your Sandals booking into the TA portal to earn your free nights.

Jamaica – One Love Rewards

Another  one of the great travel agent reward programs is not with a hotel brand. It’s with the Jamaica Tourist Board. After you complete the Jamaica Travel Specialist Program, you will be able to redeem points for free gifts.  You can use the gifts for your clients or keep for yourself. The specialist program is really great for newer agents. You’ll learn:

• What makes Jamaica so alluring to travelers
• What the most popular attractions are
• How to match your clients’ special interests and travel styles with a personalized Jamaica experience
• The different resort areas and range of accommodations options

Agent Website : http://www.oneloverewards.com/ Training : Complete the Jamaica Travel Specialist Program Reward : Earn points to redeem for free gifts for you or your clients, certificate of graduation as a Jamaica Travel Specialist, cash reward for the Top Booking Travel Agent of the Month, 50% discount at Club Mobay & Club Kingston, and eligibility for independent site inspections.

Pro tip : Make sure to subscribe for their newsletters. You’ll also be notified when there’s upcoming webinars for specific products and tours. So be on the look out for that!

Here’s a sneak peek into the items you can redeem on the agent site. You can order robes, t-shirts, lunch boxes, iPad cover/case, and more. The products change. Sometimes you can redeem for fresh coffee beans from the Blue Mountains.

Goway Rewards

Moving on with another one of the travel agent reward programs. Goway offers you discounts off personal travel and also VISA dollars. They are a wonderful supplier that can package up custom trips for your clients. Goway offers trips in all 7 continents but I mainly use them for Asia and Australia/South Pacific. Everything is packaged up into one little organized bundle. The only downside is that they only give agents 10% commission (on land only of course as we do not receive commission on flights).

However… if you are booking a personal trip with them they will give you 15% commission. I went on a Thailand trip with them in March 2017 and brought 3 friends with me. The per person total for land was $1386.00. So 15% commission from 4 people (including myself) is $831.60. So I was able to knock that off of my total price, meaning I only had to pay $554.40 for 2 weeks in Thailand + airfare. If I were able to get more friends to join in, my land portion of the trip would’ve been completely FREE! Here is my complete Thailand expenses report.

Agent Website : http://blog.goway.com/gowayagent/agent-incentives/rewards-card/ Training : Nothing specific for you to do, but they do offer webinars here and there for you to sign up for. Very informative. You can also sign up for Travel Agent Academy’s Goway course here to really be an overachiever! Reward : Make a booking with Goway and you’ll receive money on your Universal VISA prepaid card

Reward levels are as follows:

• Air only booking: $5 per passenger
• Land only booking: $10 per passenger
• Air & Land booking: $15 per passenger
• Group bookings: $100 per deposited group + $100 per departed group
• Round-the-World Air-Only Itinerary: $50 per passenger

So it’s not a ton of money but it’s something if you just remember to register your bookings. Also, get a group together and earn yourself heavy discounts. Great way to see the world with others at a discounted rate.

Las Vegas – Track My Bookings

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority wants to track how many Las Vegas bookings your bringing in. They will reward you with free gifts such as a selfie stick, wine stopper with the Las Vegas logo, tickets to Magic Mike Live, free entry to Mob Museum, a mini Welcome to Las Vegas sign, Blue Man group tickets, and much more. Make sure you’re submitting all of your Las Vegas bookings. Here is my blog post on spending 5 nights in Las Vegas! And yes, I did redeem some items for this trip.

Agent Website : https://trackmylasvegasbookings.com/ Training : Complete all training courses related to the nightlife scene, food scene, luxury scene and more. Go in depth on the different hotel accommodations available both on and off the strip. Reward : For every Las Vegas booking you submit, you will earn points and can redeem them for free items.

G Adventures – Agent of Change

One of the travel agent reward programs near and dear to my heart. As one of the 7 selected 2018 Brand Ambassadors for G Adventures, I really cannot say enough good things about this brand.

They offer small group trips to all 7 continents and never charge a single supplement penalty fee. Meaning solo clients who feel more comfortable in a group setting can book a double occupancy room without paying more. They will randomly be paired up with a same sex roommate.

As if that wasn’t enough, G Adventures is also partnered with the Planeterra Foundation organization to give back to local communities. So you can rest easy knowing your client’s trips are going to be fun, education, and give back to the local communities.

What also sets G Adventures apart from the rest is their use of “CEOs” – local Chief Experience Officers who know the destination very well because they live there. They know all of the hidden gems and local favorites. They have so much passion for what they do and so much pride in where they are from. It’s a wonderful experience.

Agent Website : https://www.gadventures.com/agents/ Training : Sign up for monthly webinars to learn more about their products Reward : Book 11 people on a single trip, and earn yourself a free spot! There’s also raffles and giveaways for agents who have recently booked a client. You can also apply to be a Brand Ambassador with them to earn a free trip. But note that there are marketing task requirements associated with this. Check out my post on my free Peru trip with G adventures, as one of their seven 2018 Brand Ambassadors.

Pro tip : At the end of every year, G Adventures sends out an application for US and Canada agents to apply to. It is for their annual Brand Ambassador position so be sure to look out for that in the next coming months and apply! Even with a few hundred applicants, you still have a chance to be selected. I was one of their seven Brand Ambassadors for 2018 and it was an incredible opportunity.

AIC Hotel Group – Amplified Rewards

The AIC Hotel Group includes hotels located throughout Florida, Mexico, and The Caribbean. Properties include Hard Rock Hotels, Eden Roc in Miami, Nobu Hotel, and UNICO 20° 87°.

The award-wining Amped Power Agent program gives agents exclusive access to the ultimate insider extras. The more you book, the more perks you get for you and your clients. Amplified Rewards allows you to earn bonus incentive on every booking you make with AIC Hotel Group.

Agent Website : https://en.myamplifiedrewards.com/ Training : No specific training but great agent tools available on the site https://allinagents.com/ Reward : All of the different properties offer different rewards but essentially you earn cash money. A booking with UNICO 20° 87°, for example, will earn you $75 cash for a 3-4 night booking. If they stay for 5-6 nights, you’ll earn $150 cash. No strings attached.

Palace Resorts – Cash is King

Palace Resorts offers two travel agent reward programs. “Cash is King” rewards program with bonuses on top of commission. Below you will see the tiered structure on extra cash money on top of the commission you’ll receive. So book a room with 3-4 nights and earn $50 cash. The good news is… you’ll earn per room not per booking. Yay!

In addition to the “ Cash Is King ” Palace Pro Agents also can earn complimentary nights. This benefit program is called “ Ready. Sell. Stay. ”

Agent Website : https://www.palaceproagents.com/en/benefits/ Training : You’ll need to undergo training to becoming a Palace Pro Agent. Very informative training. You’ll learn all about the Palace Resorts and Le Blanc Spa. Reward : Cash Is King program where you will earn cash for the number of nights your client stay. Ready Sell Stay program where you will earn free room nights based on a minimum of 3 nights booked for your client.

Aruba Certified Experts

Become an Aruba Certified Expert (ACE) agent. This destination specialist program features a curriculum accredited by the Travel Institute in the US and CITC in Canada. Plus ACE agent qualify for fam trips organized by their sales team. You can enroll in the Travel Agent Academy ACE program here .

Agent Website : http://agents.aruba.com/ Training : Yes, enroll in in the Travel Agent Academy Aruba course Reward : Earn quarterly production rewards of $100, $250 or $500 by regularly reporting your Aruba production. Even if your Aruba production is small you still have a chance to win a valuable VISA gift card through their monthly random drawings.

Pro tip : An ACE ID card is available to all agents who have fully completed the current ACE course through the Travel Agent Academy. This card will identify you as an ACE agent making you eligible to receive certain comps and discounts, while on the island.

Please note : This program is only for North American agents.

Disney Travel Agents

Definitely one of the less favorable travel agent reward programs, Disney doesn’t really offer any rewards for their bookings. The only reason I am adding it to the list is because you will likely sell a lot of Disney anywhere and it is advised that you complete the (very lengthy!) training.

Disney does pay a 10% commission to travel agents across the board. They just don’t have any specific rewards for agents. Quite frankly, they don’t really need to. That brand pretty much sells itself.

Agent Website: https://www.disneytravelagents.com/ Training: In order to be an authorized Disney travel agent, agents are encouraged to obtain and maintain certification. Reward: The knowledge you need to properly sell Disney

I’m currently going through the training courses now. I’ll have an updated blog post on my learnings and anything else that may help you go through it if you haven’t yet.

Marriott – Hotel Excellence

Hotel Excellence! (HE!) is Marriott International’s award-winning, online library of training for travel professionals and a key component of Marriott’s Preferred Travel Agency (PTA) program.

Available in 10 languages, the training covers hotel industry knowledge, sales tips, Marriott’s portfolio of brands, pricing and commission policies, and more.

Agent Website : https://hotelexcellence.marriott.com/ Training : Complete the extensive Hotel Excellence! training Reward : Gain access to Fam-Tastic rates, their lowest industry rates, so you can experience the brand for yourself. I’m talking ~$40 per night low at Marriott’s around the world.

La Coleccion   – Agents Cash Incentive

La Colección is a collection of 12 award-winning resorts offering the very best in world-class hospitality all located in Mexico. Properties include the Live Aqua resorts, the Fiesta resorts like Grand Fiesta Americana and Fiesta Americana resorts. It also includes the Explorean Resorts.

Agent Website : https://www.agentscashincentive.com/ Training : No specific training required Reward : Earn 1 free night at the resort you’ve made 1 booking with. So for example, I’ve made a total of 9 bookings with Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun, so I have 9 free nights to redeem there (up to 3 nights at a time). I’ll also caveat that there is a minimum tax fee you pay for your stay there. You’re still saving hundreds though so it’s worth it.

Pro tip : Create a word document that contains all of the username and passwords to all of the reward programs’ sites. That way you can keep them all straight. It can be very overwhelming.

Playa Hotels & Resorts – AgentCASH

Playa Hotels & Resorts has a newly redesigned travel agent loyalty and rewards program called AgentCASH. As a Preferred Travel Agent you’ll gain access to their vast resource center, sales tools, exclusive agent offers and competitive agent incentives.

Playa Resorts include the following all inclusive properties: Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara (adults only), The Royal Playa del Carmen (adults only), Sanctuary Cap Cana, and all 3 Panama Jack Resorts.

Agent Website : https://agents.playaresorts.com/ Training : Complete certification programs to ensure you are the most knowledgeable resource for your client. Reward : Earn $30 cash for every qualifying booking you submit

Karisma Resorts – Agent Rewards

Another one of the more popular travel agent reward programs is with Karisma Resorts. This portfolio of properties focuses on the “Gourmet Inclusive” specialty with renown chefs and no ordinary a la carte dining experiences for guests.

Enroll in their agent reward program and register your bookings to earn rewards!

Agent Website : http://www.karismatravelagents.com Training : There are three awesome training programs you can complete: vacation consultant, wedding consultant, and honeymoon and anniversary consultant. Reward : Booking bonuses, invites to FAM trips and discounted rates on their resorts are just a few perks.

Atlantis – Ambassador Rewards

Once you complete the Atlantis Ambassador training program , you are on your way to earning exciting rewards. The rewards are earned through a point system. Each room must be registered by a Certified Atlantis Ambassador and will be posted to the Rewards account after travel has been completed.

You’ll earn points per room per night for the Beach Tower, Coral Towers & Harborside Resort, Royal Towers, The Cove and The Reef. The points range from 1-5 with the higher point value earned on bookings with The Cove and The Reef. You’ll earn 2 points for any dining plan you sell and you’ll 1 point for selling an activity such as the Dolphin Cay Interaction.

Agent Website : http://www.atlantisambassador.com/Rewards/ Training : You must complete the Atlantis Ambassador training program to earn rewards. Reward : You can redeem your points for different things. You can redeem 25 points for $25 VISA/MC gift card or an Atlantis onsite gift card. For 50 points, you can redeem an Ambassador Site inspection and 2 complimentary day passes. You can redeem 1 free night at Royal towers for 100 points. The highest amount you can redeem is 225 points… which equals 1 free night at The Cove including dining plan for 2.

Please note : This reward only pertains to the Atlantis in the Bahamas. It does not for the Atlantis property in Dubai.

IATA and Supplier Discounts

So I certainly covered the most popular travel agent reward programs. You’ll want to make sure you’re registered with each of these partners. Not only to earn freebies but also to earn knowledge. It will allow you to sell more confidently to clients.

I would also encourage you to register with the suppliers you book on a regular basis with like Delta Vacations and Travel Impressions as they have their OWN travel agent reward programs. I know Travel Impressions’ program is called LoyalTI First and you can redeem points for some really neat products like kitchen appliances, bicycles, digital cameras, book bags, and more. Additionally, having an IATA accreditation alone will offer you benefits to enjoy.

As travel agents, we work very hard for the commission we make. These perks add a little more incentive to keep pushing and selling. It’s a nice “thank you” from our partners. If you have any additional rewards programs to add please leave a comment below to help others.

Thank you very much to get this put together. I have work to do now 🙂

Oh yeah. Get to it! You work hard giving resorts your clients’ business and you should be rewarded by them as there are many options out there. Glad to know they value travel agents. 🙂

Amazing site and thank you for the list. Hard Rock/Unico you can also accrue RnR nights earned based on 3 night or more stays. I also love some of the cruise training programs. Example Celebrity 5 Star Academy and you earn 5 dollars per booking it adds up to nice little bonus. NCL and Princess have good online training and opportunities for discounted to free cruises., ((You do pay taxes port fees etc and it’s inside cabin. But great if you’re wanting to exsperience cruising to help your clients.)) Also I LOVE the training different destinations offer like Vegas or Hawaii or Aruba so check if you sell certain countries if they offer training and ways to track sales. Thanks again for all your professional hard work in sharing this. Love your photos and the way you make the world come alive with your photos!!

Perfect! Thank you for adding. I’m going to have to do another post soon focused on cruise opportunities with training and rewards. I need to do training myself in that arena. Appreciate the added tips/advice!

Thanks so much for putting this all together! Great article!

Thank you, Chelsea. Really appreciate it!

Good Afternoon Cassie,

I just came across your post on facebook and checked out your link. As a new agent, it will be an excellent resource for me and I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your effort.

Thank you very much! Linda

First and foremost welcome to the industry! Thank you for reading! I plan to have some more upcoming posts with a destination focus like Hawaii training.

This was a great read. Thank you very much for the time you put into this. There were a couple of TA programs I didn’t think about registering for but will make note of them. I was just looking into the Atlantis Ambassador program the other day as I had an inquiry about the property.

You’re welcome. Thanks so much for reading!

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this document. It is much appreciated and a great read with valuable information. Nice to have the resources in one location.

Thanks, Tina! I actually found this website ( http://www.spoiledagent.com/us/indexhome.php ) that features over 150 suppliers and their reward programs. I didn’t even know about until I posted this and read on a Facebook group about that website. That also looks like a great place to check out many suppliers’ offerings. The cost is $9.99 per month though so I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost. I may ask some other agents later on!

Great Information. I have been an agent for many years, the perks are not what they used to be so be sure you love travel! I did notice Unlimited Budget was not listed. They will give small dollar amount reward for any Hilton property that you book as well as any Budget/Avis rental car. Cash In Club, Hertz Agent Gold, and Carlson were also not listed. Last I looked at Disney they do offer agent incentives, a free park ticket and discounted rates to name a few. Universal Studios also offers a training program that offers discounts and a free park ticket. Travel Agent discounts and perks are really difficult to find. It should be much easier to locate the programs that offer us discounts.

Thank you for your additional reward programs! Very helpful. One of my new years goals in 2019 is to get through Disney and Universal training. So I appreciate the tid bit on those. I also know of a website spoiledagent.com that houses all of the agent programs in one place. But you have to pay for login credentials I believe.

Thank you for creating and maintaining a great site with plenty of useful information. I am currently completing my travel certification and welcome the information. Your expertise is especially helpful to newcomers like myself, entering the travel/tourism industry (perks, etc). It appears you are quite the seasoned traveller and travel agent. All the information you post is greatly appreciated. Again, thanks for keeping the site updated and sharing your adventures and knowledge.

Very welcome! I’m glad you find the information useful. I plan to have some more 101 Series posts soon. Just haven’t found the time recently. Q1 is the busiest time of year! Thank you for your comment.

MyBookingRewards.com is a free site that allows agents to sign up for free and access multiple cash reward programs!

Great work Cassandra! Thank you for your putting this together.

Thank you for adding! I’ll have to check this site out. I love all of the cash reward programs out there. Such a nice little bonus to receive in the mail in addition to our commission. Thank you again!

Hi Cassandra, I am Kelly from Spoiled Agent and just wanted to give you a shouts out and thank you for mentioning our site. We have two sites the original site is totally free for Agents and we have about 30 suppliers all the big guys are there AIC, Palace, Sandals, Palladium, Melia, La Colecion etc…featuring only Agent Rates and Incentives.

Then we have the VIP site and the cost was $9.99 per YEAR not per month had around 150 supplier offers and we now have over 1000 supplier offers mostly Agent rates posted and the cost just went up to $19.99 per year not per month. Still an awesome deal. Happy New Year!!

Awesome! Thank you for the updated/current info. This is good to know. What a great deal. Happy New Year!

One of the lesser-known hotel loyalty programs is the Fiesta Americana Rewards, which belongs to Mexico’s largest hotel brand, Posadas. The brand features 190 properties in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, spread across nine brands.

Like most programs, you can earn and redeem points for stays and reach elite status tiers depending on your number of stays. The program even has co-branded credit cards to earn points for everyday spending.

With such a niche location, we have to ask ourselves, should you care about the Fiesta Americana Rewards program, and is it worth your time? Let's take a closer look.

Earning on hotel stays

Earning on avis car rentals, purchasing fiesta american rewards points, fiesta americana co-branded credit cards, cancun and cozumel, other redemption options, fiesta americana elite status levels.

Earning Fiesta Americana Rewards Points

There are several ways to earn, or even purchase, Fiesta Rewards points. The most obvious is staying at affiliated hotels, so let's start there.

Earning Fiesta American Rewards Points is straightforward, and you earn 10 points per dollar on eligible charges, excluding taxes, for stays at qualifying properties. Qualifying spending includes room rates, food and drinks, spa services, and other items. And those with elite status can earn at a higher rate.

You earn points for stays at the following brands:

• Grand Fiesta Americana.
• Curamoria Collection.
• Fiesta Americana.
• The Explorean.
• Fiesta Inn.
• One hotels.

One thing to note is that it seems you do not earn points for stays at the Fiesta Americana brand IOH . The website says, “Earn points with your stays and eligible hotel charges at…” and lists every brand but IOH. Whether this is an oversight on the website or policy remains to be seen. Also, if you are making a group booking, you can earn points for up to nine rooms per night if all the reservations are in your name. If you want to book ten rooms or more, contact the Fiesta Americana Rewards Call Center.

If you rent online or by calling 800-288-8888, you can add your Fiesta Rewards number to earn bonus points on each rental day with Avis . You'll earn based on the car category:

• Economy: 500 points per day
• Compact: 1,000 points per day
• Intermediate: 1,500 points per day
• Standard: 2,000 points per day
• Large: 2,500 points per day
• Premium: 3,000 points per day

Members who want to boost their balance can purchase Fiesta Americana points for $13 per 1,000 points. That works out at 1.3¢ per point, which is on the steep side for hotel points when you consider that AwardWallet members have only been able to leverage most hotel points for a value of under 1¢ per point . The exception: highly lucrative World of Hyatt points, which AwardWallet members have leverage for up 2.19¢ per point.

Fiesta Americana Rewards has three co-brand credit cards, earning you points for everyday spending issued by Santander. Unfortunately, these cards are not open to U.S. residents — only to residents of Mexico, who can apply for any of the following cards:

• Fiesta Rewards Classic Credit Card
• Fiesta Rewards Gold Credit Card
• Fiesta Rewards Platinum Credit Card

Features of cards include:

• Fiesta Rewards bonus points when you make your first purchase.
• Up to 3X for every dollar spent.
• Earn 10X per dollar spent at Fiesta Rewards participating hotels.
• Receive the fourth night free in beach hotels.

The cards carry varying annual fees and additional perks, which you can learn about here .

Redeeming Your Fiesta American Rewards Points

When it comes to the value obtained from redeeming your Fiesta American Rewards, sadly, it is not much. The program does not seem to have published award charts or hotel categories. Instead, it appears to employ a dynamic pricing model across the board.

We checked out stays at six properties in three popular holiday destinations in Mexico and found that your cents-per-point value ranges from 0.25¢ to 0.3¢ per point, which is nothing to write home about.

The cheapest room at the Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancún All Inclusive would set you back $255 or 86,530 points. This works out at a value of 0.3¢ per point.

The cheapest room at One Cancún Centro would set you back $56.50 or 23,520 points. This works out at a less-than-stellar value of 0.24¢ per point.

The cheapest room at the Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancún would set you back $405 or 139,620 points. Again, this works out to 0.3¢ per point.

  The cheapest room at The Explorean Cozumel costs $175 or 59,250 points. Once again, 0.3¢ per point.

  The cheapest Live Aqua Private Residences Los Cabos room would set you back $336.54 or 120,360 points. This works out at an unimpressive ₵0.28 per point.

The cheapest room at the Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf and Spa would set you back $408.70 or 135,890 points. Yet again, this works out at a value of ₵0.3 per point.

A consistent redemption value of roughly 0.3¢ is unimpressive, to say the least. Couple that with the earning rates of 10X, and the Fiesta American redemptions rates leave much to be desired.

Other options for redeeming your Fiesta American Rewards points include American Airlines, Aeromexico, and Uber.

You can redeem your Fiesta Americana Points for Uber gift codes as follows:

Clearly, this is not the best use of your points, and a value of 0.22¢ to 0.26¢ per point is not exciting at all.

American Airlines AAdvantage

You can receive bonus AA miles per stay and convert your Fiesta American Rewards Points to AA miles . Receive 2,000 AAdvantage bonus miles per stay, but there's a two-night minimum at these brands to qualify:

• Grand Fiesta Americana
• Fiesta Americana
• Fiesta Inn hotels

You also can convert your Fiesta Rewards points to AA miles at a ratio of 10,000:3,000. AwardWallet users typically redeem AA miles at [AA_AVGPOINTVALUE] apiece, making 3,000 AA miles are worth $54. Crunching the numbers one step back means converting your Fiesta points to AA yields a value of 0.54¢ per point. Amazingly, this is better value than what you would get redeeming your points for stays in Fiesta Americana hotels!

You can transfer additional points in blocks of 1,000. There is a fee of $17.40 plus VAT for every 10,000 points transferred to AA. However, this is waived for Platinum and Black members.

Aeromexico Rewards

You can transfer your Fiesta Rewards points to Aeromexico Rewards and vice versa, although the transfer ratios differ.

Aeromexico Rewards points transfer to Fiesta Rewards points at a ratio of 7,000:7,000. That is a horrible use of your Aeromexico Rewards points , and you should avoid doing so at all costs.

Going the other way, you can transfer from Fiesta Rewards to Aeromexico Rewards at a ratio of 7,000:2,100. This is a less-than-stellar return and should be avoided unless you have some orphan points sitting in your account and have no use for them — yet you need some Aeromexico Reward points for an upcoming redemption.

You can transfer additional points in blocks of 1,000.

Unless you are based in Mexico and can boost your points balances, there is little value in the Fiesta Americana Rewards program. However, if you are an AAdvantage member looking to book a vacation in a Fiesta Americana property, joining the program and converting your points to AA miles is a great option. Earning some points is better than earning none at all.

That said, apart from the occasional use, it is hard to see the value in the program. Unfortunately, poor redemption rates, no transfer partners, and ho-hum earning rates mean Fiesta Americana is not the best program for your loyalty. Many better options are open to you, especially if you prefer vacations in Mexico.
