InterContinental Hotels

With more than 33 million members, InterContinental's Priority Club Rewards is the first, largest and fastest growing guest loyalty program in the hotel industry. To offer its members an incredible selection of memorable experiences, InterContinal turned to Cloud 9 Living. Click here for the InterContinental Experience Rewards website.

"We continue to evolve our Priority Club Rewards redemption opportunities as we see a new generation of travelers who view hotel and merchandise rewards as standard fare and want to redeem their points for things they wouldn't normally buy nor have access to, like Cloud 9's once-in-a-lifetime experiences."

-Steve Sickel, Senior Vice-President, Multibrand and Relationship Marketing

McDonald's

When a long time employee was retiring, McDonald's wanted to ensure their gift conveyed their gratitude for his years of dedicated service. Here is what the recipient had to say about his gift:

"Looking at the Cloud 9 website brings me back to when I was a kid and the Sears "Wish Book" catalog arrived in the fall. I would spend hours looking at all of the toys and trying to decide which ones I wanted Santa to bring. Your website has given me the same pleasure of dreaming about the possibilities of the experiences I could have. The tough part will be trying to make a decision."

-Tim Grosscup, Director, Global Labor Relations, McDonald's Corporation

First American Corporation

A Fortune 300 company, First American Corporation employs 35,000 people in approximately 2,100 offices throughout the United States and abroad. They needed a way to add some excitement to their executive sales retreat and reward their employees for their hard work. They chose our America's Cup Sailing Charter and could not have been happier.

"Thank you for arranging the America's Cup Private Charter for our group at First American Corporation. The experience was phenomenal and the highlight of our sales retreat! I highly recommend Cloud 9 Living for a memorable experience!"

-Criag Deroy, President, First American Corporation

LinkedIn

LinkedIn has established the world's largest and most powerful business network representing more than 23 million professionals. As a young and growing company, LinkedIn is always looking for fun, innovative ways to reward their employees. When they needed to say "thank you" to a team for a year of hard work, they found just what they were looking for with our Urban Scavenger Hunt.

"LinkedIn is known for taking things the business world does today and improving them. Cloud 9 did that for us when we were looking for a way to celebrate. Hosting an Urban Scavenger Hunt to reward one of our teams for achieving a milestone was a great out-of-the-box event instead of the standard "job well done" gift. Everyone had a blast and they haven't stopped asking when we're doing it again. Thanks!"

-Brooke Watts, Senior Manager, Customer Advocacy, LinkedIn Corporation

Corporate Express

In 2007, a finance team from Corporate Express attended a conference in Las Vegas, NV. The team had one free day and was looking for a fun, team-building activity in Las Vegas. The team turned to Cloud 9 to select and plan the free day.

In 2008, the same finance team attended a conference in Miami, FL and once again turned to Cloud 9 to plan the free day.

"Cloud 9's professional staff listened to our interests and suggested two activities, an indoor skydiving experience and a chartered plane tour of the Grand Canyon. Cloud 9 coordinated all of the logistics and the team had a blast with both activities."
"This time Cloud 9 suggested taking advantage of the proximity to the Everglades and coordinated two activities, a swamp buggy tour and an airboat tour. Wow! Thanks Cloud 9 for your assistance and commitment to excellent customer service. We can't wait until next year!"

-Matt Schwartz, Vice President, Corporate Express

Rite Aid Corporation

With Rite Aid's acquisition of Brooks/Eckerd, the workload of Rite Aid's Field Technician Teams increased dramatically. They put in long hours, typically working through the night, to convert the new stores to the Rite Aid technology platform.

Service Management Group

"When our team needed to provide uncommon recognition to an extraordinary individual, Cloud 9 provided the perfect experiential solution. A gift from Cloud 9 provides memories which say "you are really valued" in ways that plaques and paper-weights just can't convey."

-Charles Aeh, VP Business Development, Service Management Group

Land O' Lakes

Land O' Lakes needed an innovative way to motivate a sales team spread across the country. They took advantage of Cloud 9 Living's co-branded website technology to provide an exciting points-based program that not only generated excitement, but the results they needed.

Manheim Albany

With more than 34,000 employees in 145 operating locations and 12 service centers worldwide, Manheim is the world's largest provider of vehicle remarketing services. Their Albany, NY division needed a buyer rewards program and partner with Cloud 9 Living to provide their buyers with the ultimate in motivation - experiences!

"Cloud 9 is great! Our customers were thrilled with the implementation of the new program and our unique gifts. Every week customers come up to us and ask how close they are to skydiving or racing a corvette. Recently, our first customer completed all nine levels associated with the program. He saved all of his gift cards so that he could enjoy the best experience and this summer he will be a "fighter pilot for a day".
I would recommend to other companies thinking of partnering with Cloud 9, to do so! This is a great rewards incentive for employees and/or customers. Cloud 9 has been very helpful with our program and has even helped with marketing efforts!! Thanks Cloud 9 for helping to make our rewards program a success!!"

-Jessica Hargrove, Marketing Department, Manheim Albany
