Free Mr & Mrs Smith membership for everyone

In times of austerity, boutique-hotel lovers don’t have to sacrifice their stylish travel habits. Award-winning publisher, booking website and travel club Mr & Mrs Smith is ringing in the new year by giving something back to its customers. And not just for now: forever.

Join the club

We’ve overhauled our existing membership scheme, so now it’s not just those who pay that get the perks and privileges; it’s everybody. In short: everyone who books with Smith gets money back, access to exclusive offers, and free extras at every hotel in our collection. As always, you can still earn points through your credit card rewards program while you earn with Smith.

Open-door policy

These benefits used to only come with a $30-a-year BlackSmith membership. Now, anyone will be able to sign up for free lifetime BlackSmith membership, giving them:

  • 1% back with every booking in their loyalty account, to spend on future stays (a two-week honeymoon in Thailand could earn you a cheeky anniversary night in the New York City);
  • An exclusive member extra at every hotel (such as bottle of champagne, spa treatments and picnic lunches);
  • Access to Smith-exclusive hotel offers and money off luxury brands.

Everyone’s a winner

Existing members benefit too. Mr & Mrs Smith has upgraded all current BlackSmith members to SilverSmith for the duration of their membership year, and SilverSmiths have been bumped up to GoldSmith level.

More money back

  • We’re the only boutique hotel specialist to offer money back on bookings.
  • Earn money back on every booking through Mr & Mrs Smith in addition to earnings from your existing credit card points system. That means you earn more money than anywhere else.

Mr & Mrs Smith’s loyalty scheme

The most generous, enjoyable and simple-to-use loyalty scheme in boutique travel is now available to everyone.

  • Earn money not points
  • Spend money on future stays
  • No restrictions on when and where to book
  • The more you spend, the more you make

Upgrade your membership

Frequent travellers can access even more benefits by upgrading; SilverSmith ($60 a year) and GoldSmith ($600) memberships offer more money back, bigger discounts, half-price hotel deals and, for GoldSmiths only, free room upgrades and a personal travel concierge service.

Quotes

‘We've always set out to keep the Mr & Mrs Smith hotel collection as accessible as possible, like making sure we offered boutique hotel rooms for under $150. Now, with a best-price guarantee, free membership to our club, instant access to year-round offers, and a bit of money back when booking, we’re hoping we can help people escape economic pressures for a couple of restful and romantic nights away. Quite simply, it’s a ‘something for nothing’ idea – and we hope people take full advantage of it.’
James Lohan, co-founder and CEO of Mr & Mrs Smith
