How about any points for fueling?
Thanks in advance.
We allow our pilots to accumulating hotel points.
For operational and financial tracking, billing and payment reasons we book hotels through select sources. Some of those booking sources allow the addition of a loyalty program and some officially don’t allow it but the hotels will often still do it if you ask the front desk at. checkin. Our pilots are welcome to add their loyalty numbers, but they have to do so at checkin. We don't manage that for them.
Our crews are home based, so they are not floating fleet road warriors living in hotels. Most of our crew on call time is spent in their home city, sleeping in their own bed. We understand hotel loyalty status is a nice benefit and are happy when we can assist our crews to obtain additional benefits like this.
