PRIVILEGIO

REAL HOTELS & RESORTS maintains an important alliance with TACA Airlines via participation in the DISTANCIA frequent flyer program. A special program called PRIVILEGIO has been created for DISTANCIA members who stay at participating REAL HOTELS & RESORTS. The program is based on special bonuses equivalent to those that DISTANCIA members can obtain based on their membership status. With PRIVILEGIO DISTANCIA, members that stay at a participating hotel will earn miles PER NIGHT rather than per stay.
DISTANCIA members who stay at participating REAL HOTELS & RESORTS receive the same percentage of bonus miles that TACA awards for flights, as follows:

• HORIZONTE DE PLATINO ("Platinum") cardholders earn 1,250 miles per night that they stay at participating hotels
• HORIZONTE DE ORO ("Gold") cardholders earn 1,000 miles per night that they stay at participating hotels
• HORIZONTE DE PLATA ("Silver") cardholders earn 750 miles per night that they stay at participating hotels
• DISTANCIA AZUL cardholders earn 500 miles per night that they stay at participating hotels
• Guests who present their TACA boarding pass in CLASE EJECUTIVA ("Business Class") upon checking in will automatically receive 250 extra miles per night, regardless of their level of DISTANCIA membership

• Real InterContinental Costa Rica
• Real InterContinental Guatemala
• Real InterContinental Metrocentro Managua

BANCO UNO DISTANCIA PLATINUM

In March of 2001, along with Banco Uno and TACA Airlines, REAL HOTELS & RESORTS launched the most impressive credit card for residents of Central America: the Banco Uno DISTANCIA Platinum VISA credit card. Designed as the best financial product for the frequent travelers in the region, this credit card is a fully integrated service tool.

The Banco Uno DISTANCIA Platinum card is truly the ideal product for the executive who travels throughout the region. Besides receiving DISTANCIA Miles for every purchase, the user obtains another reward that no other credit card offers: Puntos Reales. In other words, it's the only credit card that simultaneously gives two added values to the card owner (1 DISTANCIA Mile and 1 Punto Real is earned for every dollar spent on purchases or cash advances).

The DISTANCIA Miles can be exchanged for free airline tickets on TACA and the Puntos Reales can be used to obtain free lodging services at any of REAL'S 16 hotels.

Unlike other cards on the market that only provide certain benefits at the end of a certain time period, this card provides immediate great benefits. Simply by owning the card, a customer will have superb value added privileges like free upgrades to Business Class in TACA and upgrades to a Superior room in every hotel from REAL HOTELS & RESORTS.

This ambitious joint venture between these three prestigious international companies has awakened even more expectations. For these three visionary groups, the Banco Uno DISTANCIA Platinum credit card constitutes a significant integration effort, very much in line with the demands of the modern traveler.
