HARLEY-DAVIDSON LAUNCHES H-D MEMBERSHIP, A NEW INDUSTRY-LEADING COMMUNITY PLATFORM AND MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM
The new program enables all motorcycle riders and moto-culture fans to connect, engage and ride with one another, while enjoying personalized benefits, rewards and experiences.
MILWAUKEE (June 20, 2023) – Building on the 40-year history and success of its Harley Owners Group, the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle club in the world with over 500,000 members, Harley-Davidson (NYSE:HOG) today launched its new H-D™ Membership program. H-D Membership is an industry-leading community platform and membership program that will bring together riders and moto-culture fans under the United We Ride banner to connect, engage and ride with one another.
H-D Membership will allow riders and fans to enjoy a personalized experience of in-app social features, riding benefits and access to the Harley-Davidson brand like never before. H-D Membership is a new and positive hub for moto-culture – serving as inspiration to riders and non-riders alike.
“Our community is at the heart of everything we do – building on the success of the Harley Owners Group, H-D Membership will enhance the way in which we engage with our members, leveraging modern tools to connect riders, deliver new benefits and create new experiences,” said Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO, Harley-Davidson. “We’re excited about giving our community of riders and non-riders a new way to connect on and off the road, while ensuring we deliver unique and tailored content to really make their experience with the brand as personalized as possible.”
H-D Membership will offer riders and non-riders new benefits to further unlock the benefits of the unique moto-culture community:
- New app experience – The revamped H-D® app, now exclusive for members, has been designed to connect and engage with the wider community. Members can now explore new digital and social tools that enable sharing of experiences, and for members to learn and be inspired by each other. With the help of member profiles, member groups, ride planning and sharing and numerous other tools, members can engage both on and off the road, making these new offerings exciting additions to maximize the H-D experience.
- Unique and personalized content – H-D Membership creates special access to the H-D brand. Tailored to a member’s individual lifestyle and riding interests, members will have access to information on new products, special membership events, curated H-D content (e.g., educational riding, moto-culture inspiring, H-D community), and much more.
- Expanded benefits – H-D Membership provides high-value benefits both on and off the bike such as roadside assistance, motorcycle service, unique member products and more. Additionally, members gain access to exclusive benefits and special offers through collaborations with Hilton®, SiriusXM, AT&T, EagleRider Rentals, the Fuel Rewards® program at Shell and Tentrr (two-wheel friendly camping).
- Introduction of loyalty rewards – With the new H-D Membership program, members will earn points for purchases of H-D® products at participating Harley-Davidson® dealerships and online at H-D.com. Members will also earn rewards for engaging with the community by sharing great content, riding together, attending events and completing challenges. Members who also hold the Harley-Davidson® Visa® card can earn even more points and enjoy extra redemption options and benefits.
H-D™ Membership is free for all participants, offering multiple ways for members to tailor their experiences, engage with the H-D community and earn rewards. Members who look to further enhance their H-D experience and benefit package may elect to add the Access Pass, for riders and non-riders, with exclusive access to key brand events and content as well as benefits such as enhanced rewards and partner benefits. Another option is the Rider Pass which includes tools, content, and benefits such as roadside assistance, motorcycle service benefits and partner benefits to enhance the riding experience.
