Collect HBC Rewards

Posted on October 2, 2011 by Travelodge

Again, we go nuts with the choices. Choices in menus, rooms, upgrades, entertainment, packages, and even a choice in different (or both) rewards programs. The benefits in our Travelodge Guest Rewards Programs are amazing, but at Travelodge Winnipeg, we give more: more discounts, more extras, more attention to detail and more rewards programs.

The Hbc Rewards Program can be used in addition to the Travelodge Guest Rewards program. Basically, you can earn travel rewards….doubled. If you use your Hbc card for any stay at Travelodge, you can reap these extra rewards. Sign up at www.hbc.com to received your rewards card, and sign up for the Travelodge Guest Rewards at www.travelodgeguestrewards.ca for a dual benefit program. You can earn 10 Guest Rewards points for every lodging dollar spent PLUS a flat rate of 4000 Hbc rewards points PLUS 100 points for every lodging dollar spent at Travelodge.

Hbc reward points can be redeemed at participating Travelodge, Thriftlodge, for home furnishings, toys, electronics, air miles, magazine subscriptions, gifts and other entertainment discounts. Combining your platinum Travelodge Guest Rewards can earn you free upgrades, free access to executive lounges, early check ins, late check outs, and many other benefits. Next time you are at Travelodge Winnipeg, be sure to sign up for both programs and watch the benefits roll in.

Planning Ahead for Christmas? Plan for the Travelodge

Posted on September 10, 2011 by Travelodge

Although corporate Christmas parties have lost popularity during the last few years of a worldwide dwindling economy, 2011 is expected to be festive and full of company parties. Bosses and corporations have been searching for compromises to make these “thank you” events happen. Every successful corporation gets to the point of success due to their employees. Being appreciative of these employees shows that their hard work all year has not gone unnoticed. What better time to say thank you then the most festive time of year.

Corporate Christmas parties do not require the deepest pockets, but they do require ample time for planning. Deciding to throw a company Christmas party by autumn will most certainly end in booked venues and a lack of planning time, which can be disastrous. This lack of planning time will end in less than ideal party options and wasted money for dwindling supplies.

The best venues for a corporate Christmas party are booked by the end of summer. Travelodge Winnipeg East is booking up for the festive season, but still has a few openings left. We offer full catering services, beautifully renovated rooms for the responsible partygoers, dinner receptions for end-of-the-year award ceremonies, and Christmas cocktail parties. We can accommodate companies from 20 employees to 200, and all those in between. Build your company morale and say thank you to all the hard workers this year. Call the catering manager at 255-6000 to plan your special corporate Christmas party this year.
