..The Raffles Ambassadors.

Just got home and seem to have been sent another invitation to join a hotel group loyalty programme. I didn't know Raffles Group had one !.

Anyone else got this ?.

Congratulations!

What are the benefits?

I've not had chance to read through the accompanying booklet yet. It's at home so I'll put it up later.

I did see it includes a free night in a Suite at Raffles Dubai, which is a nice offer but one I won't take up as I have no intention of going there.

If you Google "Raffles Ambassadors", there's only one mention of it I can think and that was in a press release. Otherwise, nothing else at all about the programme.

Cutting through the guff, the only benefits mentioned are:

(i) triple KF miles for the 1st stay;

(ii) double KF miles for subsequent stays until 30 Sept; and

(iii) a free night in a suite at Raffles Dubai,

and that's it ? There presumably must be more to it than that ?!?

Oh, and this being the only mention I can find on Google:

i.e. priority should you wish to buy a Raffles Residence in the Seychelles, Da Nang and Manila.

Edit: I posted before reading your 2nd post which makes it clear now!

I signed up through the same offer and received my package in the mail today.. the free night in the raffles dubai expires Oct 31, 2008... not likely I will be able to use it..

The other benefits I see to this membership is the flexible 24 hour check in, free breakfast and free drink... maybe the 48 hours gauranteed availability...

Only good thing is that it doesn't seem there is an expiry to the membership itself... the card only shows member since....

Got my pack last week and noticed that as well.
