An Eligible Stay is not bound by the means of payment i.e. regardless of who the room is paid by or how the room is paid for, as long as the Member actually stays in any of the Participating Hotels that will be deemed Eligible Stay.

2. www.dorsett-yourrewards.com;
3. reservation center of the Participating Hotels; and
4. online travel websites which have direct distribution partnership (direct contract) with Participating Hotels ^#. 

(collectively the “Eligible Booking Channels”)
 
^# Eligible stays do not include stays booked via a reseller tour operator or through unauthorized travel agents on online travel websites. These stays do not enable the Member to earn Programme Points or to collect Eligible Nights to obtain a Member Status. 
For stays booked via authorized travel agents which have a direct distribution partnership (direct contract) with Participating Hotels, these stays do not enable the Member to earn Programme Points but able to collect Eligible Nights to obtain a Member Status.

Room-related expenses (including room rate, room upgrade fee, late check-out, early check-in, etc.) that are booked via the Eligible Booking Channels and at an eligible rate which is equal to or above the respective Participating Hotel’s minimum qualified rate (“Eligible Rate”) will earn Member his/her Programme Points and accumulate Eligible Nights for Member Status.

Minimum qualified rate will apply on point issuance for a third party booking channel.  This differs from hotel to hotel and may change due to various conditions including the booking source, promotion offers and seasonality.   Minimum qualify rate does not apply to bookings that are made with hotels directly, except for Dorsett Grand Labuan Hotel and the Hong Kong hotels.

In the event a stay is for more than one (1) night, the average daily room rate will be used as the Eligible Rate.
All cancelled and no-show bookings will not accrue any Points or Eligible Nights even if the bookings are fully paid.
 

5. Earning Points                     

 
When Member has an Eligible Stay at one of the Participating Hotels and this stay includes at least one paid night, the Member’s account is credited with Programme Points corresponding to the stay.
Points are calculated based on the expenses related to the Eligible Stay (refer to Section 2 above), excluding service charge, tax, VAT or GST.   The Eligible Stay must be settled in full.  In other words, the payment must have been accepted and confirmed by the Participating Hotel.
A guest must already be a Member at the time of stay in order to earn Programme Points.  

Programme Points are valid for 18 months from date of issuance and are cancelled at the end of the 18^th month, e.g.if Programme Points are earned on 15 September 2018, the expiry date for the Programme Points would be 30 March 2020.
 

6. Programme Points Scale

The Programme offers four Member Status levels attributed according to the number of Eligible Nights earned: Classic, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Each Eligible Booking Channel (refer to Section 3 above) has its own Programme Points generosity scale to earn Programme Points, as shown in the table below:

Eligible Booking Channels	Programme Points Scale Percentage Participating Hotel Brand: Dorsett Dao by Dorsett d.Collection	Programme Points Scale Percentage Participating Hotel Brand: Silka
Booking directly with the Participating Hotel e.g. through its official website and hotel reservation center	3% of the expenses related to Eligible Stays excluding service charge, tax, VAT or GST	1.5% of the expenses related to Eligible Stays excluding service charge, tax, VAT or GST
Booking via online travel websites through its direct distribution partnership with the Participating Hotel	1.5% of the expenses related to Eligible Stays excluding service charge, tax, VAT or GST	0.5% of the expenses related to Eligible Stays excluding service charge, tax, VAT or GST

 

7. Calculating Points

 

1. The expenses related to the Eligible Stay excluding service charge, tax, GST and VAT in the local currency of the Participating Hotel will be converted into US dollars according to the exchange rate adopted by Dorsett.    

 

2. The expenses related to the Eligible Stay in US dollars will then be converted into the Programme Points  based on the table in the Programme Points scale (refer to Section 6 above) and on 1 US Dollar to 1 Programme  Point  basis

 

3. Silver Members and above will be entitled to additional Programme Points according to the Additional Bonus Points Multiplier listed below, subject to the Member Status at the time of check-out.

 

Member Status	Additional Bonus Points Multiplier
Classic	n/a
Silver	X 1.1 (10% more)
Gold	X 1.2 (20% more)
Platinum	X 1.3 (30% more)

 

4. When application of the Programme Points earned scale leads to Programme Points with a decimal fraction, Programme Points will be rounded to the nearest one decimal place. e.g. If the Programme Point earned is 1.14 (or below), it will be rounded down to 1.1; if the Programme Point earned is 1.15 (or above), it will be rounded up to 1.2.   

The earned Programme Points will be adjusted to the Programme Points balance in the Member’s account 24 hours after check-out date.  Programme Points and Eligible Nights cannot be transferred to another Member. They are strictly personal.   
Programme Points have no monetary value.  Under no circumstances can unused Programme Points be encashed.
The Programme Points are credited to Members as long as they stay in a Participating Hotel.   Only one (1) Member will be credited Programme Points per room.  If two or more Members are sharing a room, it is the Member’s responsibility to advise the hotel at the time of reservation as to which Member’s account the Programme Points should be credited to.
    

8. Member Status

Members may at any time achieve a higher Member Status when they reach the required number of Eligible Nights, as shown in the table below (note that day use does not constitute an Eligible Night).

• If Member reaches a higher Member Status at any time during the Membership year, the new Status will be effective automatically 24 hours after the check-out date of the last stay at the Participating Hotel.  Member will receive an email notifying him/her of the new Member Status attained.  The new Member Status will thereafter last for the ensuing 12 months
