("Contributions"), or (d) points in loyalty programs offered by participating
partners ("Points"). We reserve the right to require that you provide a receipt
from the Participating Merchant for a purchase in order to receive your Reward
for the purchase.
21.7. You will receive Rewards for a purchase at Participating Merchant only if:
(a) the business is a Participating Merchant on the date of the purchase; or (b)
the hotel is a Participating Business on the date you make the reservation and
the date you stay at the hotel. You will not receive Rewards for a purchase if our Website indicates that no Rewards
are being offered or given for the type of purchase you made.
21.8.
You will receive Rewards only for qualifying purchases at a Participating
Merchant. Purchases with your Registered Card at a Participating Merchant may be
qualifying only up to a specified dollar amount, or only if made during certain
time periods on specified days.
21.9.
The Rewards that you earn may vary depending on a variety of factors, such as
your Program, the Participating Merchant, and your level of activity within the
Program. Information on the type, amount and limits on Rewards, as well as on
current Participating Merchants, is posted on our Website. You are responsible
for reviewing this information before you make a purchase at a merchant, as
these details may change from time to time and may affect the Rewards you
receive.
21.10.
The Rewards may not be earned for qualifying purchases at a Participating
Merchant when using coupons or discount cards or in combination with discount
programs.
21.11.
You will receive Rewards for purchases at a Participating Business such as
hotels only if you make your reservation for your stay (and any changes to your
reservation) through our Website or by calling our Member Services
representatives, and use your Registered Card for any required payments. Rewards
are provided only for the payment of your room rate at the Participating
Business such as hotels, and not for taxes, tariffs, incidental expenses charged
to your room, or reservation change or cancellation fees.
21.12.
Fees may be imposed by a Participating Business such as hotels if you change or
cancel a reservation you make through us. Additional fees for changing or
canceling a reservation may be imposed by the Participating Hotel or us if you
make the reservation, but not the change or cancellation, through us. We will
forward to the Participating Hotel a special request you make for your stay, but
we are not responsible if the hotel does not honor the request.
Receipt and Use of Rewards
21.13.
A retail business that provides the cash credit program in which you may receive
Credits, a partner that operates the loyalty program in which you may receive
Points or Contributions, and an issuer of the Registered Card on with you may
receive Cash back Rewards savings, are sometimes referred to in this Agreement
as an “Other Program Operator.”
21.14.
The Participating Merchant and Other Program Operator are solely responsible for
the terms and conditions on which you receive actual credit for, and may use,
Credits, Contributions or Points that we request the Participating Merchant and
Other Program Operator provide you for Rewards you earn in our Program. We are
not responsible for when Cash Credit Rewards savings, Credits, Contributions,
Points, or other Rewards are actually credited to your credit/debit card,
frequent flyer or loyalty program account.
21.15.
We make no representation, warranty or guarantee as to any value or benefit of
Credits, Contributions or Points, any ability to use Credits, Contributions or
Points, or any other matter relating to Credits, Contributions or Points, and we
have no liability or obligation if Credits, Contributions or Points are not
honored by a Participating Merchant or an Other Program Operator, including if
the Participating Merchant or Other Program Operator ceases doing business,
files for bankruptcy, or terminates the program to which the Credits,
Contributions or Points were credited.
21.16.
If your frequent flyer or loyalty program account is invalid or inactive for a
period of at least 120 days following the date of a purchase that qualified you
for a Reward of Credits, Contributions or Points, you will forfeit your rights
to such Miles, Contributions or Points even if such Miles, Contributions or
Points were previously credited to your frequent flyer or loyalty program
account. All account inquiries or disputes related to a Reward of Credits,
Contributions or Points must be received by us within 90 days of the qualified
transaction or the end of the bonus period, as applicable, or you will forfeit
your rights to such Credits, Contributions or Points.
21.17.
You are responsible for any tax consequences resulting from your receipt or use
of Rewards under the Program. We may report Rewards provided to you to relevant
tax authorities.
