Priority Privilege Program

If you are a frequent traveller, it is recommended that you join a hotel membership as this generally gives you added benefits including preferential room rates and discounts at restaurants.

One of the membership programs that we had joined and, in our opinion, found to be of great value is the Priority Privilege program. As a Priority Privilege member for Malaysia, the amount of value and benefits we received in terms of certificates far outweighed what we paid to be a member. This is pure value for money.
