Verified case study Hotel Tech Report has reached out to hoteliers at Sycuan Casino Resort to verify this case study.
Case study header image
Already a destination hotel for casino gaming enthusiasts, Sycuan Casino Resort sought out an innovative solution to welcome a more diverse crowd during an evolving travel landscape.
Why it matters: With their ideal location in Southern California, the appeal of offering a seamless Cash Rewards program has expanded their clientele further in 2020; influencing direct bookings by 24% and increasing guest loyalty from leisure travelers by nearly 40% since.

  • It was in the nick of time that this partnership began. Post pandemic, casino hotels found they needed to shift focus on domestic business while international travel restrictions remained.

Top 3 Core Objectives: To keep up with the drastic economic changes, Sycuan Casino Resort stayed ahead of the game by incentivizing all types of guests to book direct, maintained guest loyalty and continually adapted to ongoing changes in the travel and tourism industry.

  • Expand Clientele: Specifically offering rewards to transient/leisure travelers who wouldn't normally stay at a casino resort; 10% of which were existing Guestbook members (Cross-Network)

  • Increase Customer Retention: Attested by the 40% growth, guests old and new repeatedly chose Sycuan Casino Resort due to the instant gratification of Cash Rewards without the usual point accumulation or tier-structure of loyalty programs.

  • Adapt to Travel Market: Appealing to the changes in spending habits of varying travelers.

The Guestbook

The Guestbook helps independent and boutique hotels drive direct bookings by leveraging the power of cash back rewards and exposure to its nearly 4 million registered members.
