SEDA EDGE GUEST LOYALTY PROGRAM

I have an unused e-voucher which I redeemed using my Seda Edge points but expired during the Community Quarantine. May I ask for an extension?
Yes, we have extended the validity of all e-vouchers that expired from March 1 onwards, to September 30, 2021.
I had a booking in Seda but had to cancel because of the Community Quarantine. Unfortunately, my membership has expired since. May I ask for some consideration and keep my membership active? I am planning to re-book as soon as the government eases up restrictions.

Yes, in consideration of the circumstances, all members whose status was supposed to become Inactive will enjoy an extension of the expiration date. You now have until September 30, 2021 to book and keep your membership active.

I am a Premier member of Seda Edge. However, I lost the opportunity to book during the Community Quarantine and now I am not sure if I will be able to achieve the required number of room nights during the year. May I ask for an extension of the validity of my Premier membership?
Yes, you may keep enjoying the perks of Premier membership up to September 30, 2021. While this should require an annual minimum accumulated stay of 15 room nights for the level to be retained, the automatic revert to Classic for not meeting this requisite will not be applied this year.

SERVING THE COMMUNITY

How are you providing support to the front-liners and/or others affected by the situation?
Seda Hotels has always recognized the importance of corporate social responsibility. It gave its full support to Ayala Land’s Pay It Forward fund-raising campaign which provided supplies and equipment to Covid-19 referral hospitals, as well as daily essentials to families affected by the quarantine; and through other cooperative efforts and individual hotel donations, contributed in kind to various front-liners, including health care workers and law enforcers.

EMPLOYEE WELFARE

Did you lay-off any of your employees?
Our people are our greatest asset and we have ensured that they are taken care of throughout this trying time. We are also fortunate to be under the umbrella of Ayala Corporation, whose unparalleled leadership, generosity and concern for its employees have inspired us to continually step up to the challenge and do our best at fulfilling our responsibility to those who work with us under any circumstances.
