Alliance Data Systems Corp., a Dallas-based provider of customer loyalty and marketing programs, revealed Wednesday that Hilton HHonors has agreed to become a national sponsor and reward supplier of Alliance Data's Canadian AIR MILES Reward Program. The financial impact of the deal was not disclosed. Hilton HHonors is the guest rewards program for The Hilton Family of Hotels, a hospitality group owned by Hilton Hotels Corp.

The AIR MILES Reward Program, Alliance Data explained, is a coalition loyalty program that currently serves some two-thirds of Canadian households.
