Scenic Group Offers 25,000 Bonus Reward Points for New Bookings

Vancouver, February 2019 – Scenic Group, parent company of Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Emerald Waterways and Scenic Eclipse, has announced that Canada-based travel agents will receive a bonus of 25,000 Rewards Points for every new booking they make between February 1 and March 31, 2019 on any of its three brands – Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Emerald Waterways and Scenic Eclipse. And with no cap, the sky is the limit. The Rewards bonus points will be in addition to the already generous points agents earn based on the value of the booking. Scenic Group’s Rewards Program, started in 2018, grants one point for every two dollars spent. Those points can then be traded in for a huge array of products that includes appliances (big and small), fitness and outdoor equipment, electronics, jewelry and fashion items, multiple gift card options, food and wine items, etc.

Citing some examples, Derek Legault, Senior Director of Sales, Canada for Scenic Group, points out how agents can really walk away with great products while helping their clients enjoy the best deals of the season. “Many of the agents who sell Scenic and Emerald Waterway products will make multiple bookings during WAVE Season. Make just five bookings, at an average value of $20,000 net, and the agent will receive 175,000 Rewards points, more than enough for a new Sony Smart TV or Bose speakers or a KitchenAid mixer. Make 10 bookings and the resulting bonus points means they could pick up an iPhone and still have more than 100,000 Bonus points left to spend.”

After their first booking, travel agents receive a welcome email from Scenic and/or Emerald Waterways Rewards with a password reset link and a unique Rewards Member ID. One point is earned for every two dollars spent – excluding air components, taxes and non-commissionable products which form part of the booking, as well as any surcharge or service fees on payments made by credit card, charge card or other forms of non-cash payment. Travel agents access their accounts at www.scenicrewards.ca or www.emeraldrewards.ca to review their points status and browse the catalogue to redeem their points. Emerald Waterways Rewards points are transferrable to their Scenic Rewards accounts (but not the other way around).
