On Command to Demonstrate Ability to Use Rewards Points to Pay for VOD Services

Leading In-Room Entertainment Company Announces Ability to Integrate VOD System, Hotel PMS System and Loyalty Programs

DENVER, June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On Command Video Corporation, a leading provider of in-room interactive entertainment for the hotel industry and its guests, announced today it will be demonstrating its solution for enabling hotels to provide guests with the ability to use rewards points to pay for VOD and hotel services.

Many travelers have built up their point levels creating a liability for the hotels. On Command's solution enables hotels to determine the value amount for points and what services can be paid for with points.

"Providing the guest with the option of using points to pay for services will help increase revenues and reduce liability," said Tad Walden, senior vice president of marketing and programming for On Command.

On Command will be demonstrating this new technology at HITEC booth 518 June 21 through 23 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
