OYO Free Stay: Indian hotel rooms aggregator announces a free stay but this is the basic rule to avail offer

OYO Free Stay: Indian hotel rooms aggregator OYO announced on Friday said that after five nights, customers will be eligible for a free stay. This is a campaign to encourage people to travel in post-pandemic India. The free room night offer will be available to the Gold members of its loyalty program called Wizard, as per PTI report. 

Wizard is designed for frequent travelers in India and will provide up to a 10% discount on OYO's Wizard hotels around the country, among other benefits. OYO Wizard is one of the largest loyalty programs established by leading travel or food firms in India, with over 9.2 million members, and the largest in the budget category segment.

The travel tech company's loyalty program, designed to help travelers, aims to reward OYO's regular customers, said PTI.

The top subscriber markets for OYO's loyalty program in India are Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. OYO Wizard is currently available in three tiers: Wizard Blue, Wizard Silver, and Wizard Gold.

According to PTI, Gold members are eligible for one free stay per year after staying five nights at OYO. Wizard Silver and Blue customers can enjoy a reward stay on their seventh and eighth nights respectively. 

Furthermore, Gold members are entitled to limitless 'Pay at hotel' bookings rather than having to prepay for their reservations. OYO has also partnered with 13+ well-known brands, including Dominos, Lenskart, Rebel Foods, and Gaana, to provide Wizard club members with discount discounts and vouchers, PTI said.

Speaking on the launch of the revamped loyalty program, OYO Wizard, Shreerang Godbole, SVP - Product & Chief Service Officer - OYO said, "OYO caters to value conscious customers, be it families, friends, small business or even employees of large corporates. Our incentives such as free room nights and discounted stays give yet another compelling reason for them to choose to stay at OYO repeatedly. Our share of nights booked by repeat customers in India was over 70% in the year ended March 31, 2021. We believe that our improved loyalty offerings will appeal a lot to this large customer base."

According to PTI, customers can use OYO's three-step booking procedure on the OYO App, as well as browse stores based on their area, to make their booking experience easier and more enjoyable. For today's developed travelers, OYO's zero cancellation charge policies are likewise meant to provide the finest customer experience.
