Called the Trump Card Privileges Program, the card offers members a Personalized Preference Program which will keep your room preferences on file "so no request needs repeating"; the best available room rates; early check-in and late check-out (based on availability) and 24-hour access to signature Trump Attaché service, a welcome amenity upon arrival.

After you meet a certain amount of milestone bookings, the card will also upgrade you to "experience" the Trump Hotel Collection suites.
