Does Four Seasons Have a Loyalty Program? Reader Jamie writes “Why is it that Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Park Hyatt, Waldorf Astoria, Shangri-La etc. all belong to a loyalty program where you can earn points for stays and redeem them for free nights? Why doesn't the Four Seasons have such a program?”
.
The More Luxurious Hotel and Resort Brands Don't Have Points Based Loyalty Programs
Think about the most luxurious hotel and resort brands: Cheval Blanc (owned by LVMH); Four Seasons; Belmond; Aman Resorts; Rosewood Hotels; Peninsula Hotels. None of them have a points loyalty program (in contrast to Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis etc. which are part of Marriott Bonvoy; Park Hyatt and Andaz which belong to Hyatt; Waldorf Astoria and Conrad owned by Hilton, etc.). And that's for a reason: earning and redeeming points tends to make staying at hotels more transactional and promotes gamification, which is the opposite of the personalized experience that luxury brands want to cultivate.

The Four Seasons Card / Four Seasons Elite Benefits
That said, there is special recognition that Four Seasons reserves for its most loyal, highest spending guests: the Four Seasons Card, also known as Four Seasons Elite status. Here are the benefits the Four Seasons Card provides:
- Complimentary daily breakfast for two
- Upgrade: Guaranteed upgrade for the client's first visit after becoming Four Seasons Elite, subject to availability for subsequent stays
- Hotel Credit: A $100 hotel credit per room or $200 credit per suite, once per stay
- Late check-out: guaranteed as late as 4pm
- Complimentary Premium Internet
- Four Seasons Elite Contact
.
Enjoy Most of These Benefits via Four Seasons Preferred Partner
Even if you're not a Four Seasons Elite, you can enjoy most of these benefits by reserving all your Four Seasons hotel stays as a TravelSort Client, to enjoy Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits:
- Upgrade if available at check-in (sometimes there's a Four Seasons Preferred Partner offer for select hotels that provides a guaranteed upgrade at booking)
- Complimentary daily breakfast for two guests per room, either at the restaurant (including buffets) or via in-room dining
- A $100 hotel credit per room or $200 per suite credit per stay. Four Seasons Private Residence stays enjoy $200 credit per bedroom
- Late check-out based on availability

The Best Way to Be Invited to Four Seasons Elite and Receive a Four Seasons Card
Four Seasons Elite is an invite-only program, so there's no set criteria, either in terms of spend or number of nights, to be invited. That said, the current best way to be invited is to reserve a Four Seasons Jet journey through TravelSort or another Four Seasons Preferred Partner. Because there's such a limited number of travelers that reserve Four Seasons Private Jet journeys, it immediately puts you in rarefied company and is likely to lead to an invitation to become a Four Seasons Elite.
