Hotels.com™ Rewards is a Hotels.com™ loyalty program (the “Program”). For each night you book and stay at an eligible Hotels.com Rewards property you collect one stamp (“Stamp”). When you collect 10 Stamps with us, we give you 1 reward night to redeem (“Reward Night”). This Reward Night does not include taxes and fees, which you must pay when redeeming your Reward Night.  All bookings must be made online or on our mobile app. You can only collect Stamps or redeem Reward Nights at an eligible Hotels.com Rewards property. 

  

The Program is open to anyone over 18 years old (or the age of majority in your country) who signs up to Hotels.com with a valid email address, and then joins the Program. Companies, associations, or other groups may not join. Employees of Expedia, Inc. will not be able to collect Stamps or redeem Reward Nights if they make a booking using an employee discount. If an Expedia, Inc. employee makes a booking without using their discount, they will be able to collect Stamps and redeem Hotels.com Rewards nights. 
 

  

 REWARDS TIERS 

  

The Program has 3 tiers: 

  

• Hotels.com Rewards, 

• Hotels.com Rewards Silver and 
• Hotels.com Rewards Gold. 

  

You will join as a Hotels.com Rewards member. When you collect 10-29 Stamps in a membership year, you will qualify for Hotels.com Rewards Silver. When you collect 30 Stamps or more in a membership year, you will qualify for Hotels.com Rewards Gold. A membership year runs for a year from the date you first created an account, and each anniversary after that. 

  

Silver and Gold members have a dedicated phone number they can call 24/7 to make or discuss their bookings and there are other benefits like early sale access and exclusive offers. These will all be available within 2 weeks of qualifying for Silver or Gold and will last for the rest of that membership year and the whole of the following membership year. If you do not collect enough Stamps to stay in Silver or Gold, we will move you down a tier for the next membership year. 

  

 

COLLECTING STAMPS 

  

You will collect 1 Stamp for every night you stay at an eligible Hotels.com Rewards property. Collect 10 Stamps and we give you 1 Reward Night. You must be signed in to your Hotels.com account when you book online and on our mobile app so we can add the Stamps you collect to your account after your stay. If you make a booking with us by phone, you must tell us the email address on your account so we know where to add the Stamps. Only Hotels.com Rewards members collect Stamps. Other guests on the same booking do not, and you cannot collect Stamps for any property bookings you made before you joined the Program. 

  

We will add any Stamps you collect to your account up to 72 hours after you check out of the Hotels.com Rewards property. If you collect Stamps but we later believe that you did not complete your stay (an “Invalid Stamp”), we reserve the right to remove these Invalid Stamps from your account. This could happen if you cancel your booking or did not check-in at the property, which would make the Stamps invalid. Invalid Stamps do not count towards the 10 Stamps you need to redeem a Reward Night. You may need to wait up to 35 days to redeem your Rewards Night if a number of your Stamps are collected via the “pay later/pay at property” option. 

  

You can check your account to see how many Stamps you have collected at any time. Just sign in at Hotels.com, use our mobile app, or phone our call centre. You are responsible for making sure your account is correct. If you believe that you have not collected the correct amount of Stamps, we will look into this for you. If any bookings are invalid as mentioned earlier, we will remove them from your account. 

  

In addition to the information above, you will not collect Stamps for the following: 

• Bookings made with an affiliate Hotels.com website 
• Bookings made before you joined the Program 
• Package bookings i.e. property + flight 

• Some bookings made using a discount coupon, voucher or code – you will need to check the terms for each of these 
• Bookings made through Group Travel Services 
• Bookings that do not cost you anything, i.e. are free 

  

 

REDEEMING REWARD NIGHTS 

  

When you collect 10 Stamps, we will give you 1 Reward Night to redeem at any eligible Hotels.com Rewards property. You can redeem your Reward Night online and on our mobile app. 

  

The maximum value of your Reward Night is based on the value of the 10 Stamps you collected as long as they have not expired. This value is equal to the average daily rate, excluding taxes and fees, of the Stamps you previously collected. If you collected a Stamp at a Hotels.com Member Price (defined above), this price rather than the regular price will be used for the purposes of the calculation. You must pay for taxes, fees, meals and any other costs associated with your Reward Night.  

  

If you used different currencies when collecting your 10 Stamps, the value of each Stamp is currently calculated using the currency associated with the territory you were in when you joined the Program. 

  

Reward Night stays are subject to all applicable booking terms and conditions. You will not collect a Stamp when you redeem your Reward Night. Stamps have no cash value, and you cannot redeem your Reward Night for cash. 

  

If you redeem your Reward Night on a stay that is less than the maximum value of your Reward Night, you will not get the difference in cash, credit or anything else. You can redeem your Reward Night on a stay that costs more than the maximum value of your Reward Night – you just pay the difference. 

  

If you have more than 1 Reward Night to redeem, you can choose which booking you want to apply it to. You cannot combine your Reward Night with any other offer, discount coupon, voucher or code, unless the terms for each of these say you can. This means that when you book a stay and redeem your Reward Night, you generally will not be able to get an additional discount on that booking. 

  

If you redeem your Reward Night on a booking that is longer than 1 night, we will automatically apply its value to the most expensive night in that booking, subject to its maximum value. 

  

Reward Night stays are subject to all applicable cancellation policies that are passed onto us by the Hotels.com Rewards property. If you cancel a Reward Night for which, had you paid for the booking and cancelled it you would have been entitled to a full refund, we will return the Reward Night to your account.  If you cancel a Reward Night for which, had you paid for the booking and cancelled it you would have been entitled to a 1-99% refund, the Reward Night will not be returned to your account.  If you cancel a Reward Night for which, had you paid for the booking and cancelled it you would have not been entitled to any refund, the Reward Night will not be returned to your account. 

  

If you want to change the dates of a booking that includes the Reward Night you redeemed, you will need to cancel the booking, wait for the Reward Night to be returned to your account, then rebook so you can apply your Reward Night to your new booking.

CHANGES TO HOTELS.COM™ REWARDS, STAMP EXPIRY AND PROGRAM TERMINATION 

  

Your Stamps will not expire as long as you keep your account active at least once every 12 months. This means you must collect a Stamp or redeem a Reward Night in that time, and when you do, the expiry date will be extended for another 12 months. If you do not collect Stamps or redeem Reward Nights in a 12 month period, your Stamps will expire and we may deactivate your account. If this happens, your Stamps will not be reissued. Sign into your account to check when your Stamps are due to expire. 

  

We may change our Hotels.com Rewards terms and conditions at any time, with or without notice, including the rules for collecting Stamps, the different membership tiers and their qualification requirements and associated benefits, the rules for redeeming your Reward Night, the list of eligible Hotels.com Rewards properties, and the maximum value of a Reward Night. We may communicate these changes to you by email or on our Hotels.com website so please make sure you check your account regularly. 

  

Hotels.com Rewards has no end date and will continue until we close it, which could happen at any time. If we do close the Program, you will have 30 days from when we announce its closure to redeem any Reward Nights you have in your account. After that date, you will lose your Reward Nights and you will not be compensated. 

  

By continuing to collect Stamps and redeem Reward Nights with Hotels.com Rewards, you accept any changes to these terms and conditions. You are responsible for keeping up to date on any changes that we may make. The most current version will always be available on our website.
