HICKORY GLOBAL PARTNERS ANNOUNCES NEW WAY FOR MEMBERS TO RECEIVE LEARN AND EARN REWARDS

October 18, 2021

Delray Beach, FL — October 18, 2021. Hickory Global Partners, a leading global travel alliance for travel agencies and travel departments, has partnered with WeGift to diversify and enhance its learn and earn webinar rewards program for its membership.

Hickory Global Partners supplier webinars consist of engaging presentations and discussions with our top hotel, air, ground and ancillary suppliers from around the world. They occur on average twice weekly on Wednesdays and Thursday throughout the year and are some of the best and most attended in the travel industry. Travel agents have the opportunity to view/listen to a 45-minute live presentation followed by Q&A they can participate in, while also earning incentives in the form of prizes and gift cards provided by each supplier for their interest and involvement, which are particularly ideal for the upcoming holiday season. In order to be eligible to receive these rewards, you must be a Hickory member; however, anyone can attend. For every 4 live webinars or 6 recorded webinars attended in their entirety, Hickory members receive $25 in gift card rewards. Recorded webinars can be accessed 24/7 on Partner HQ, HICKORY’s agent extranet. To view and register for our scheduled webinars, please visit https://www.hickoryglobalpartners.com/upcomingwebinars/ and click on the webinar (s) you would like to sign up for.

Some of the world’s leading companies use WeGift to access branded currency from the most popular high street retailers, driving their businesses forward through digital rewards, incentives and payouts. By partnering with WeGift, Hickory members will now have the opportunity to claim their rewards for watching live and recorded Hickory supplier webinars by choosing from 89 different retail brands. They will also have the capability to split their rewards between several of these companies, enjoying even more gift cards than previously.

“Our goal is to always put our members first by constantly striving for ways to enrich their experience in partnering with us, as well as presenting the best opportunities possible for them to benefit from our relationship. Launching the WeGift program does just that by taking our learn and earn rewards program to a higher level,” states Chris Dane, President and Managing Partner of Hickory Global Partners.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Hickory Global Partners to bring such a variety of reward opportunities to their members. WeGift always looks to work with forward-thinking companies looking to evolve the way they reward the people they care about. This new partnership means Hickory Global Partners can delight members in even more innovative ways,“ says Mike Vogus, Vice President of Merchant Partnerships of WeGift.
