What Is Agoda VIP? [Agoda’s Loyalty Program Explained]


What Is Agoda VIP?

Agoda VIP is Agoda.com’s customer loyalty program.

The program promotes Agoda’s best listings to its best customers. It’s one of Agoda’s many money-saving features, along with Promo Codes and AgodaCash (Agoda’s points/rewards program).

Users who book frequently and have few cancellations are eligible to earn VIP status. Hosts who maintain high standards (according to Agoda) may display VIP discounts on their listings, which can lead to more exposure in Agoda’s search results.

In this guide, we’ll explore how Agoda VIP works.

We’ll cover Agoda’s four customer account tiers, how to earn and use your VIP status when booking, how to monitor VIP status within your account, and how hosts benefit from offering VIP discounted listings.

How Agoda VIP Works

Agoda accounts are divided into 4 tiers:

  • Member

  • VIP Silver

  • VIP Gold

  • VIP Platinum

Member

You’ll automatically get Member status when creating your Agoda account. As a new member, you are not eligible for any VIP discounts, but will have access to other benefits, like AgodaCash and Promo Codes.

VIP Silver

After you’ve completed 2 bookings within 24 months, while maintaining low cancellation rate, your account is upgraded to VIP Silver. VIP Silver status allows you to book VIP listings discounted up to 12%.

VIP Gold

After you’ve completed 5 bookings within 24 months, while maintaining low cancellation rate, your account is upgraded to VIP Gold. VIP Gold status allows you to book VIP listings discounted up to 18%.

VIP Platinum

After you complete 10 bookings within 24 months, while maintaining low cancellation rate, your account is upgraded to VIP Platinum. Platinum status allows you to book VIP listings discounted up to 25%.

How To Use Your VIP Status When Booking

I did not receive email notification when my account upgraded from Member to Silver, Gold or Platinum, but I was notified immediately after signing in. Your current tier status is always shown under your account name in the upper-right corner of the home page.

To use your VIP status to get discounts on bookings, spot the VIP badge in a listing’s details section.

After you’ve found a VIP eligible listing that fits your tastes, continue though the booking process. The VIP discount will automatically be applied at checkout.

On the VIP page, you’ll see your current tier, when your status is set to expire, and how many bookings you currently need to reach the next tier.

How Hosts Benefit From Offering VIP Discounts

The VIP Program provides hosts an additional way to differentiate themselves on the site. VIP discounted listings are visible to users who’ve earned VIP status. Such users are likely to spend, unlikely to cancel, and already familiar with Agoda’s platform.

As with Agoda’s other features (such as Promo Codes and AgodaCash), VIP discounts do not apply to all listings. Only eligible hosts can offer VIP discounts, and they’ll decide whether to opt in to the program.
