REWARDS

• The terms and conditions of the airline programs control the redemption and distribution of frequent flyer program mileage credit.
• La Quinta Returns and its partners have the right to change, limit, modify or cancel program rules, regulations, rewards and reward levels at any time with or without notice to members. This includes, but is not limited to, increasing levels or number of points received per $1 spent on room revenue or required for a reward, changing the types of rewards, adding blackout dates, limiting rooms available for a reward at any participating hotel and changing locations served by LA QUINTA. In the event that any of these conditions occur, members may not be able to obtain certain rewards.
• The Guaranteed Availability service allows Elite members to book one (1) standard room when a hotel is otherwise sold out provided members make and guarantee a reservation at least 48 hours prior to date of arrival (30-day advance notice is required for Special Events) at the BAR room rate (Best Available Rate). Free night rewards may not be used to reserve rooms under this guarantee. The Guaranteed Availability service may not be available in extreme circumstances, including during periods following natural disasters.
• La Quinta Returns points may be redeemed for rewards online at LQ.com or by calling 1-800-642-4258. Only members whose name is listed on the account may redeem rewards with points from their respective account. Reward requests from all other non-authorized parties, including hotel staff, will not be honored.
• Rewards are subject to availability. Conditions or restrictions specified by the providing company, sponsor or promoter will be observed.
• LA QUINTA is not responsible, and assumes no liability, for changes or discontinuances of rewards or the availability of such rewards.
• Nothing in these terms and conditions is intended or shall be construed to establish any partnership or joint venture relationship between LA QUINTA and its rewards sponsors and promoters.
• LA QUINTA is not responsible for lost, stolen, or expired certificates/gift cards.
• If a reward certificate is not used prior to expiration, reward certificates will not be re-issued nor will points be credited back to the member's account.
• Paper free night certificates (if issued) must be presented at time of check-in, unless your free night certificate was used for currency while booking your reservation online. Advanced reservations apply.
• La Quinta Returns free night rewards are valid for standard room(s) and are subject to availability. Each hotel has a specific number of rooms available for the use of free night rewards. Certain properties may also have specific blackout dates for free night rewards (waived for Elite members).
• Free Night Rewards require the redemption of a minimum of 6,000 La Quinta Returns points. The amount of points required by each hotel is based on that hotel's "Tier" category as indicated on LQ.Com. Members may use a reward of lesser tier value than required by the specific hotel; however, an Upgrade charge of $15 per hotel tier level difference will apply. (Example: a member may use a Tier A free night reward at a Tier C hotel when paying a total upgrade charge of $30.) Upgrade charges are not eligible to earn La Quinta Returns points or airline miles/credits. Gold and Elite member's room upgrades do not apply to hotel tier upgrades.
• In the event a member makes a free night reward reservation and then does not check in for the reward stay and does not cancel the reservation in accordance with the hotel's cancellation policy, the La Quinta Returns points redeemed for that stay will not be reinstated and the member's account will not be reimbursed.
