GUEST REWARDS PROGRAM TERMS & CONDITIONS

Apartment Hotel Guest Rewards membership and its benefits are offered at the discretion of Apartment Hotel. Apartment Hotel has the right, without limitation, to change, limit, modify or cancel Program Rules, regulations, rewards, and reward levels at any time, with or without notice, even though such changes may affect the value of points or miles already accumulated, the ability to use accumulated points or miles, or the ability to obtain certain rewards. Apartment Hotel may, among other things:

  • increase or decrease the number of points or miles received for a stay or required for a reward;

  • withdraw, limit, modify, or cancel any reward;

  • add blackout dates, limit rooms available for reward redemption, or otherwise restrict the continued availability of rewards;

  • change program benefits, conditions of participation, rules for earning, redeeming, retaining, or forfeiting points or miles, or rules governing the use of rewards;

  • change or cancel its rewards. The accumulation of points or miles does not entitle members to any vested rights with respect to points, miles, rewards, or program benefits. In accumulating points or miles, members may not rely upon the continued availability of any reward or reward level.

If a Member cancels his/her Account, or if a Member Account becomes inactive as described earlier, the Member may reapply for membership in the Guest Rewards Program at a later date, but no Points, Awards and other related benefits and services previously forfeited or expired will be reinstated to the Member Account
