Hotels.com Rewards Terms and Conditions

Last updated on 2026-06-11

Important notice: These terms and conditions will apply until 2026-08-16 (or later date as notified to you). The new updated terms and conditions (set out at the end of this web page) will be effective from 2026-08-17 (or later date as notified to you).

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.

VIP ACCESS PROPERTIES 

Silver and Gold Hotels.com Rewards members are eligible for exclusive amenities at selected VIP Access properties. Eligibility for the amenities is based on your Hotels.com Rewards tier at time of booking and the amenities to be provided will be as shown on the property listing at the time of booking.

Properties participating in the VIP Access property network offer benefits which can vary by property and are subject to change at any time without notice.

Room upgrades may include complimentary upgrades to a room category of greater value or quality. Instead of a room upgrade, travellers may receive assignment to a preferred floor or assignment to a preferred location on a floor, such as away from the lifts or ice machine.

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.

Trip Elements earned on travel that begins in one Membership Year and ends the next Membership Year will be allocated on a pro-rata basis where multiple Trip Elements are earned for that travel, and where a single Trip Element is earned for that travel it will be allocated to the next Membership Year.

Once earned, your Tier is valid for the remainder of the Membership Year in which you qualified, the next full calendar year, and through February 28 of the following year. The Tier you earn in subsequent Membership Years will be determined by the number of Trip Elements collected in the previous Membership Year.

13. Complaints or Disputes

We are committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or complaint or dispute, we would like to try to resolve your concerns. But if we are unsuccessful in resolving your complaint or dispute, you may pursue claims as explained in this section.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and except with regards to consumers residing in the province of Quebec, you agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes or claims relating in any way to the Program, any dealings with our customer service agents, any services or products provided, any representations made by us, or our Privacy Statement (“Claims”) by contacting the relevant Participating Brand Customer Service Centre.

Customer Service:

Hotels.com Help Centre

Expedia Help Centre

To the extent permitted by applicable law and except with regards to consumers residing in the province of Quebec, any and all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except you may assert Claims on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify. This includes any Claims you assert against us, our subsidiaries, Travel Suppliers or any companies offering products or services through us (which are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement). This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted these Terms and Conditions, regardless of whether prior versions of the Terms and Conditions required arbitration.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Terms and Conditions as a court would.

Arbitrations will be conducted by the Canadian Arbitration Association (CAA) under its rules. The CAA's rules are available at https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca/ or by calling 1-877-862-8825. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the CAA’s rules, except as provided in this section. If your total Claims seek less than CA$10,000, we will reimburse you for the filing fees you pay to the CAA and will pay arbitrator’s fees, unless the arbitrator determines your Claims are frivolous. You may choose to have an arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the jurisdiction where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to “Expedia Legal: Arbitration Claim Manager” at Expedia, Inc., 1111 Expedia Group Way, Seattle, WA 98119. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided. A party requesting arbitration must also provide a Notice of Arbitration to the CAA, at 180 Duncan Mill Road, 4th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M3B 1Z6.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and except with regards to consumers residing in the province of Quebec, any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The Arbitration Act (Ontario) applies to this agreement. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court with competent jurisdiction.

14. Release and limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law and except with regards to consumers residing in the province of Quebec, the Programs are provided without any warranty (either express or implied) or implied term of any kind, including but not limited to any implied warranties or implied terms of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We make no guarantees, warranties or representations of any kind concerning the Program/s, except where a particular guarantee or warranty cannot be excluded under applicable law, including consumer law.

Although we will endeavour to employ commercially reasonable measures to help ensure the Program/s runs as planned, you agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any errors, inaccuracies or other issues that may impair your participation in the Program/s, unless and only to the extent directly caused by us. You further understand that neither our Travel Suppliers nor promotional partners are affiliated with the Program/s nor responsible for administration of the Program/s.

Subject to the limitations set out in these Terms and Conditions, you further agree that to the extent permitted by applicable law, EG, its affiliates, its Travel Suppliers, any promotional partners, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) will not be liable for any losses arising out of or in connection with the Program/s (including, for example, any use of the Program/s and/or any delay or inability to use the Program/s) which were not:

(i) reasonably foreseeable by both you and us at the time of enrolment in the Program/s;

(ii) actually suffered or incurred by you; and

(iii) caused by a breach of our obligations under these Terms and Conditions or our failure to use reasonable care and skill.

Subject to the limitations set out in these Terms and Conditions, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Released Parties be liable for any business losses and/or losses to non-consumers including (without limitation) loss of profits or loss of revenue.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence; or for any other liability which cannot be legally excluded or limited under applicable law, including consumer law.

Hotels.com Rewards Terms and Conditions

Last updated on November 4, 2022

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 all 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 toward 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 that 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 redeem your Reward Night on a stay that is less than the maximum value of your Reward Night, you will not receive 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 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.

VIP ACCESS PROPERTIES

Silver and Gold Hotels.com Rewards members are eligible for exclusive amenities at selected VIP Access properties. Eligibility for the amenities is based on your Hotels.com Rewards Tier at time of booking, and the amenities to be provided will be as shown on the property listing at the time of booking. Amenities can vary by property and are subject to change at any time. A minimum length of stay may be required.

Gold Members may qualify to receive upgrades at check-in at participating VIP Access properties, subject to availability. Eligibility for the room upgrade is based on Hotels.com Rewards Tier at time of booking. VIP Access property upgrades are intended for the primary account holder and will only be extended to additional rooms booked via the Gold Member’s account at the property’s discretion and subject to availability. Room upgrades may include complimentary upgrades to a room category of greater value or quality. Instead of a room upgrade, travellers may receive assignment to a preferred floor or assignment to a preferred location on a floor, such as away from the elevators or ice machine. Room upgrade cannot be reserved.

Gold members may receive early check-in and late check-out at participating VIP Access properties, subject to availability. Eligibility for early check-in and late check-out is based on Hotels.com Rewards Tier at time of booking. Early check-in and late check-out are intended for the primary account holder and will only be extended to additional travellers booked via the Gold member's account at the property's discretion and subject availability.

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.

20.4 OneKeyCash Expiry

Subject to the paragraph below, Base and Preferred Inventory OneKeyCash in your Account will not expire as long as you have made an Eligible Booking or redeemed a Redemption Reward through a Participating Brand on your Account at least once every eighteen (18) months. If there has been no such activity, all accumulated Base and Promotional OneKeyCash in your Account will expire and will not be reinstated. Promotional OneKeyCash may have a different expiry period; please check the offer-specific terms and conditions for details.

OneKeyCash that has been converted from Expedia Rewards points will retain original expiry dates, unless an Eligible Booking or Redemption Reward is made through a Participating Brand on your Account once these Terms become effective in which case the above paragraph will apply.

20.5 OneKeyCash Redemption

20.5.1 Flight Redemptions

Subject to the general exclusions set out at Section 6 above, Flight Redemption Rewards are available on eligible airlines, and on insurance. In order to book a flight using OneKeyCash, you must have enough OneKeyCash available to cover the entire cost of the flight being booked, including all taxes and fees. OneKeyCash cannot be used to pay for items not included in the fare such as seat choice or baggage, and cannot be used to pay for flight booking changes. If you do not see the ability to apply OneKeyCash on the checkout page, this is an indicator that: you do not have enough OneKeyCash to cover the entire flight cost; you have added additional items for purchase such as seat choice or baggage and/or the flight is not eligible for a Redemption Reward and, therefore, ineligible to use OneKeyCash on that booking. Flights do not have to be roundtrip; one-way flights and flights into and out of different airports are permitted. Holds cannot be placed on flight Redemption Rewards. Only the Member can use OneKeyCash to book a flight on their Account, but the flight Redemption Reward may be booked in the name of the Member or any other person the Member designates.

20.5.2 Hotel Redemptions

Subject to the general exclusions set out in section 6 above, you can use available OneKeyCash to pay the partial or full cost of a “Pay Now” hotel. OneKeyCash can only be used where payment is being made on a Participating Brand at time of booking where the “Pay Now” option is presented. OneKeyCash may be used on insurance where the redemption is being made with a “Pay Now” hotel as described in this paragraph.

20.5.3 Short-Term Rental Redemptions

Subject to the general exclusions set out at section 6 above, you can use available OneKeyCash to pay for the partial or full cost of a participating short-term rental. OneKeyCash cannot be used on a refundable damage deposit. Where making a booking request, OneKeyCash is only used to pay for the partial or full cost of the participating short-term rental once the booking has been confirmed. OneKeyCash cannot be used on all short-term rentals; please check the short-term rental details page to see eligibility.

20.5.4 Car Redemptions

Subject to the general exclusions set out in section 6 above, you can use available OneKeyCash to pay for the partial or full cost of a “Pay Now” car rental. OneKeyCash cannot be used where some or all of the cost is required to be paid directly to the Travel Supplier.
