If you’re looking to pick up a few tricks to help you enroll your guests in Stash, here’s a set of surefire tactics straight from the enrollment elite at fellow partner hotels.

WHAT’S A QUALIFIED ENROLLMENT?

A qualified enrollment is one that is associated with a guest stay and the enrolling member’s email address must be attached to the reservation. So you can’t enroll your mom, unless she’s staying at your hotel. You CAN enroll a guest who is on an ineligible rate, like an OTA rate, but you need to be crystal clear that they won’t earn points for their current stay. Once you sign up any guest, don’t forget to add their email address to the reservation.

And, as always, you MUST get their permission to enroll. Enrolling guests without their approval can get your team disqualified from the contest so please be sure the guest is verbally agreeing to become a member. Learn more about why this is so important here.
