Hilton HHonors Members To Use Points For Registered Traveler Membership

Registered Traveler provider FLO Corp. this week said Hilton HHonors members would be able to purchase its annual fast-track security screening membership with accrued loyalty points beginning Feb. 15.

FLO said HHonors members could redeem 35,000 points in exchange for the annual membership, and hopes to expand the redemption offering to other travel suppliers, including airlines.

"We've always been looking for ways to make travel more hassle-free," Hilton senior vice president of customer loyalty Adam Burke said. "A few weeks ago, I was traveling through Kennedy, and of course the security line was hellacious, so this is a very good addition to our program."

Though FLO operates its "fast lane option" at a single airport, Reno/Tahoe International, the Registered Traveler program is designed to be interoperable among vendors, allowing FLO members to use lanes operated by competitor Clear at more than one dozen airports in the United States.
