Revamped Loyalty Program from Millennium Hotels and Resorts
While browsing the internet this morning, I realised that the loyalty program from Millennium Hotels and Resorts have been revamped - I'm not too sure whether this is a recent change or not since I do not generally stay with the chain, but it is really looking a whole lot better now! For starters, the previous M&C Loyalty Club is now known as My Millennium Club - finally, a better name! The usual Gold and Diamond has also been renamed as Premium and Elite respectively - see table below for a quick summary of name changes.
| Base-Tier Status | Mid-Tier Status | Highest-Tier Status | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Loyalty Program | Classic | Gold | Diamond |
| New Loyalty Program | Club | Premium | Elite |

With the new My Millennium Club, you can now get guaranteed Club or Executive Lounge access when you reach the highest-tier of status - My Millennium Club Elite. You may get here by either spending 20 elite-qualifying night a year or through US$4,000 worth of eligible spend. Considering how Hilton HHonors require US$12,000 worth of eligible spend to hit top-tier Diamond, this is not too bad at all! Strangely enough, when you hit top-tier, you also get one complimentary room night stay at any participating hotel when you stay at 10 different participating hotels within the same membership year - quite difficult since there is limited footprint across the world as compared to a larger chain hotel!

| Qualification by Nights | N/A | 8 | 20 |

Both Premium and Elite membership are valid for twelve (12) months upon being upgraded or renewed to Premium or Elite status. According to the FAQ, Elite members will also receive 2 complimentary suite upgrades each year. Points can also be used to redeem for rooms although this is unclear at this moment.
