Montreal-based Rental Escapes a full-service luxury villa company specializing in providing private villa rentals worldwide since 2012, has announced the launch of a new travel advisor rewards program that offers the opportunity to earn free villa vacations. Believed to an industry first in the sector, agents will earn one reward point for each $1 booked, which can then be used towards their own trip.

“We are proud to be the first villa rental company to offer a rewards program of this caliber,” says Willie Fernandez, chief marketing officer of Rental Escapes. “Advisors work so hard to send guests on vacation, so we want to reward their diligence and commitment to ensuring others have fantastic vacation experiences by sending them on their own relaxing trip.”

The rewards program is offered in addition to the commission advisors earn on all bookings and bonus commission opportunities offered throughout the year.

The program, which is now live, will automatically reward advisors points if they’re registered with a free account on the Rental Escapes website. Advisors will be sent quarterly updates via email to alert them to the amount of points in their bank. The reward point is issued once guests depart.

Rental Escapes offers a hand-picked selection of more than 5,000 vetted and curated luxury villa rentals in 70 destinations across the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, the US and beyond. A team of villa specialists assist guests and travel advisors in planning and booking and every reservation is provided with a concierge service to take care of arranging everything from private chefs to boat charters.
