5. EARNING OF ASR POINTS

5.1 Earning of ASR Points must be effected by the Member logging into his/her Account to make the Qualifying Booking. 

5.2 ASR Points will only be earned by you where you check-in and stay at a Participating Property under a Qualifying Booking in accordance with these T&Cs and if you have an Account at the time of booking and check-in. 

5.3 Retroactive ASR Points earning will not be allowed if the guest staying at a Participating Property under a Qualifying Booking is not a Member at the point of booking, or if the Member makes the Qualifying Booking without being logged into his/her Account at the time of such booking.

5.4 ASR Points earned will be credited to your Account:

(a) where your stay at the Participating Property is thirty (30) days or less, within fourteen (14) days of checking out of the Participating Property; or

(b) where your stay at the Participating Property is more than thirty (30) days, within fourteen (14) days of your successful payment of the Qualifying Booking to the Participating Property. 

5.5 ASR Points will not be earned by you if you do not make a Qualifying Booking. If you sign up to the Loyalty Programme only after making a booking at a Participating Property, ASR Points will not be credited to your Account for that booking and you will only be credited ASR Points from the next booking onwards, provided that the next booking is a Qualifying Booking.

5.6 In the event you make a Qualifying Booking on behalf of:

(a) another Member, i.e. you are not staying at the Participating Property under the Qualifying Booking, ASR Points will be awarded to the Member staying at the Participating Property under the Qualifying Booking. If you are making the Qualifying Booking on behalf of another Member, who will be staying at the Participating Property under the Qualifying Booking, you must provide the membership details of that Member at the point of booking in order for that Member to earn ASR Points. ASR Points will only be credited to the Member staying for the Qualifying Booking; or

(b) an individual who is not a Member at the time of booking, neither you nor that individual guest will be eligible for ASR Points for that booking.

5.7 Each Qualifying Booking will only allow for ASR Points to be earned by one Account. For the avoidance of doubt, if two or more Members are staying at a Participating Property under a Qualifying Booking, only one Account will be credited ASR Points.

5.8 ASR Points are calculated in Singapore Dollars on the basis of the Qualifying Amounts. Subject to the terms of the Qualifying Booking, if a Member redeems any ASR Points against any Qualifying Amounts payable, ASR Points will only be earned on the balance of the Qualifying Amounts after such redemption. Where Qualifying Amounts are in currencies other than Singapore Dollars, these amounts will be converted to Singapore Dollars at such rates as Ascott may from time to time apply, and will be final, conclusive and binding on the Member, before conversion of the Qualifying Amount to ASR Points. ASR Points will be credited to your Account provided that the invoice of the Qualifying Amounts must be fully settled, in other words the payment must have been accepted and confirmed by the Participating Property. In the event of full or partial default in the payment of an invoice of the Qualifying Amounts, the Member will not receive any ASR Points for that booking, or where ASR Points have already been credited to the Account, such ASR Points will be deducted from the Account accordingly.

5.9 Each Tier has its own scale for ASR Points which can be earned by the Member at each Tier, to be calculated as set out below:

Tier	ASR Points earned by Members per SGD 1 spent by Members in accordance with these T&Cs (subject to change from time to time)
Classic	10 ASR Points
Silver	12 ASR Points
Gold	14 ASR Points
Platinum	16 ASR Points

Note: Notwithstanding the above, and regardless of the Member’s prevailing Tier, if the Member makes a Business Travel Booking or extended stay, Clause 4 shall apply and the Member will only be eligible to earn up to 5 ASR Points per SGD 1 spent by the Member on eligible room rates. Points earning may be applicable to Events organised by Member, subject to earn rate at local property’s discretion.

5.10 When crediting ASR Points to a Member's Account, fractions of an ASR Point will be rounded down.

5.11 Except as otherwise provided in these T&Cs, ASR Points are personal to you and are non-transferable for any reason whatsoever. ASR Points do not constitute a means of payment and we shall not provide you with any compensation for lost or unused ASR Points. ASR Points have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash or credit. All ASR Points standing to a credit of a Member shall be automatically forfeited upon death and are not transferrable upon death. ASR Points do not constitute personal property and may not be bequeathed or otherwise treated as personal property. 

5.12 ASR Points may also be earned through promotions, third party partnership programmes and/or services as may be determined by Ascott from time to time. Ascott may from time to time publish on the Brand Website and/or directly communicate to Members the details of such partnerships, including the terms and rates for the earning of ASR Points. 

5.13 ASR Points may be purchased ("Purchased ASR Points") by (a) a Member for self or for another Member or (b) by a non-Member for a Member, subject to a maximum of 400,000 Purchased ASR Points in any calendar year. ASR Points may be purchased at the rate of S$0.0025 per 1 ASR Point (subject to change from time to time) and can be purchased in increments defined by Ascott or customizable denomination. The purchase transaction may take up to 14 days to be completed and for ASR Points to be credited into the recipient's Account. Once ASR Points have been purchased and the purchase transaction is completed, no refunds will be permitted. If you are purchasing ASR Points for another Member, you will not receive any ASR Points but the spent on such purchase will constitute a Qualifying Amount and will count towards your Tier qualification. 

5.14 If you are of the view that ASR Points have not been credited to your Account in accordance with these T&Cs, you must request, no later than within one (1) month of your stay at the Participating Property under a Qualifying Booking, that the Account balance be reviewed, via www.discoverasr.com/en/contact-us. You acknowledge and agree that Ascott shall have the sole and absolute discretion to decide whether or not to adjust your Account balance, and that Ascott's decision in respect of your Account balance shall be final, conclusive and binding on you, and in any event, the adjustment of your Account balance by Ascott shall be your sole remedy. Ascott has no obligation to entertain requests to review the crediting of ASR Points beyond the period stated above. 

5.15 Ascott shall not be liable for any delay, error or failure in crediting of ASR to the Member's Account for any reason whatsoever.

6. VALIDITY AND REDEMPTION OF ASR POINTS

6.1. ASR Points are valid for twenty four (24) calendar months from the date of the crediting of such ASR Points to the Account (each a "Validity Period"). If ASR Points are not redeemed through our Brand Websites in accordance with these T&Cs by the end of their respective Validity Periods, they will be forfeited and will not be reinstated.

6.2 ASR Points may be redeemed by you for stays at any Participating Property in accordance with the prevailing redemption rates for the relevant class of room at the Participating Property, as specified by Ascott from time to time ("Room Stay"). The redemption rate at Participating Properties is currently 1 ASR Point to S$0.0025 (subject to change from time to time). Where the room rates are in currencies other than Singapore Dollars, these amounts will be converted to Singapore Dollars at such rates as Ascott may from time to time apply, before conversion of the room rate to ASR Points.

6.3 Redemptions for Room Stays can be paid by you with ASR Points either partially or in full (excluding applicable tax, unless otherwise decided by us). ASR Points redeemed will be utilised to offset the total amounts payable, in the following order: room rate, incidentals and then third party costs (if applicable). Where you have made partial payment for any Room Stay using your ASR Points, you will still earn ASR Points on the remaining unpaid amount for the Room Stay when you make payment via credit/debit card, cash or similar means.

6.4 The redemption of ASR Points for Room Stays shall be subject to room availability for the duration of the intended stay. In addition, we may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, declare that certain room rates and/or Participating Properties may not be redeemed using ASR Points. ASR Points may not be redeemed for stays at Participating Properties in conjunction with any other offers, discounts or special promotions.

6.5 Redemption of ASR Points must be effected by the Member logging into the Account to book stays at the Participating Properties via the Brand Website, mobile application or such other channels as Ascott may direct from time to time. Redemptions are valid only for use by the individual member and are not transferable.  At check-in, the member using the redemption may be required to show valid identification and provide a credit card to the Participating Property for incidental charges.

6.6 Pooling of ASR Points, whereby ASR Points are sought to be combined from two or more Members' Accounts to redeem a stay at any Participating Property, is not permitted.

6.7 Upon successful redemption of ASR Points, ASR Points will be deducted from your Account on receipt of successful confirmation of the booking of the Room Stay by you from Ascott.

6.8 Redemption of ASR Points must be made at least 48 hours prior to the stay. The successful redemption of ASR Points and the types of rooms eventually booked for each stay will be dependent on the availability of the rooms at the Participating Properties at the time of booking. The availability of rooms and the eligibility of any rooms at any Participating Property for the redemption of ASR Points is not guaranteed. If the room which you have selected is not available or is not eligible for the redemption of ASR Points under the Loyalty Programme for any reason whatsoever, that room stay will be subject to that Participating Property's prevailing room rates for such rooms as may be available at the time of booking. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that the availability of rooms affects or impacts your travel plans in any way whatsoever, neither you nor your travel companions shall be entitled to any refunds or compensation of any kind.

6.9 ASR Points may additionally be redeemed through (a) points exchange with such third party partnership programmes and/or services as may be determined by Ascott from time to time, and (b) outright transfers as donations to such organisations (such as charities) as may be determined by Ascott from time to time. Ascott may from time to time publish on the Brand Website and/or directly communicate to the Members the details of such partnerships programmes and/or services and donations, including the terms and/or rates thereof.

6.10 ASR Points redeemed shall be deducted based on Member’s base points earned, followed by bonus points earned. For example, in the event where Member has earned SGD 1,000 value in ASR points and received SGD 200 value in bonus ASR points through promotions, points redemption Member shall be deducted in the order of SGD 1,000 points value earned first, followed SGD 200 bonus points value.

6.11 Redemption of ASR points is final and will not be reinstated under any circumstances, for example, redemption of ASR Points through outright transfers as donations to charity are not reversible.

6.12 For extension of points validity, Members may reach out through Contact Us and will be required to purchase the equivalent amount in ASR points to obtain extensions on expiring points. Expiring ASR points' validity will follow the newly purchased points' 2-year validity and expiry date.

10. PARTICIPATING PROPERTIES

10.1 The list of Participating Properties is subject to change from time to time. Ascott has the right to remove or to add on to the list of Participating Properties at our sole and absolute discretion. We will publish the updated list of Participating Properties on the Brand Website from time to time. You acknowledge and agree that neither you nor your travel companions shall be entitled to any refunds or compensation if the changes to the list of Participating Properties impact or affect your or your travel companions' travel plans in any way whatsoever.

10.2 If a property participating in the Loyalty Programme is no longer a Participating Property after you make a Qualifying Booking but before your actual stay at the property:

(a) no ASR Points will be earned from the stay;

(b) you will not be able to redeem any ASR Points or any Rewards while staying at that property; and

(c) if you had redeemed any ASR Point for this stay either partially or in full, you will have such ASR Points re-credited to you and you will be required to pay the amount corresponding to the number of ASR Points used for the booking at the property via credit/debit card, cash or similar means. 

11. GENERAL BOOKING AND CANCELLATION TERMS

11.1 All Qualifying Bookings and redemption of Room Stays are subject to the standard booking, cancellation and no-show terms applied by each Participating Property to bookings.

11.2 If you would like to make modifications to bookings of Room Stays, this can be made by you contacting Ascott via the Brand Website using the contact form available at https://www.discoverasr.com/en/contact-us, or such other channels as Ascott may specify from time to time. Modifications to bookings of Room Stays are subject to availability and must be made in accordance with the booking conditions and cancellation policy of the Participating Property with which you have made such bookings. Such policies may differ from property to property, and you are advised to read and check carefully the terms of the correct Participating Property.

11.3 Any incidental expenses incurred during the stay at the Participating Property, including but not limited to laundry and meals, have to be settled directly with that property by payment modes accepted by that property.

11.4 All in-stay requests are subject to availability and the discretion of the Participating Property, for example: 

(a) room upgrades: may include upgrades to rooms within the same category with desirable views, on higher floors, corner rooms, rooms with special amenities and/or upgrades to a higher room category. Room upgrades vary based on property occupancy, size or any other factors deemed relevant by the Participating Property and may not necessarily be a room category change; and

(b) room arrangements requested at point of booking (such as bedding, non-smoking room, early check-in, late check-out etc.) are not guaranteed and subject to availability.

11.5 In relation to Qualifying Bookings:

(a) Cancellations of Qualifying Bookings can only be made without penalty if the cancellation is made by you in accordance with the booking conditions and cancellation policy of the Participating Property with which you have made the Qualifying Booking . If ASR Points in connection with such Qualifying Bookings have been successfully credited to your Account prior to such cancellation, ASR Points will be deducted from your Account accordingly.

(b) In the case of all other cancellations by the Member or in the case of no-shows, ASR Points will be deducted from the Account accordingly and at our discretion, either:

(i) the Participating Property will charge the applicable cancellation fee (or no-show fee, as the case may be) to the credit card provided by the Member at the time the reservation was made; or

(ii) the Member incurs a penalty deduction of ASR Points equivalent to the number of nights' stay at the Participating Property stated in the applicable booking conditions and cancellation policy (or equivalent applicable policy, such as the guarantee and cancellation policy), links to which are set out below and which may be updated from time to time by us:

(1) Europe (including the European Union, United Kingdom and Georgia): https://www.discoverasr.com/en/general-rental-conditions; and

(2) the rest of the world: https://www.discoverasr.com/en/guarantee-and-cancellation-policy.

If the number of ASR Points in your Account is insufficient to meet the cancellation fee (or no-show fee, as the case may be), we will instead charge the full outstanding sum which is payable to us to the credit card provided by you at the time the reservation was made.

11.6 In relation to redemption of Room Stays, once ASR Points have been successfully redeemed:

(a) Cancellations of Room Stays can only be made without penalty and ASR Points which you have applied to the Room Stays will be credited back to your Account if the cancellation is made by you in accordance with the booking conditions and cancellation policy of the Participating Property with which you have booked the Room Stay and is a cancellation for which ASR Points will may be refunded. 

(b) In the case of all other cancellations by the Member or in the case of no-shows, at our discretion, either:

(i) the Participating Property will charge the applicable cancellation fee (or no-show fee, as the case may be) to the credit card provided by the Member at the time the reservation was made and ASR Points that were redeemed will be credited back to the Member's Account; or

(ii) the Member incurs a penalty deduction of ASR Points equivalent to the number of nights' stay at the Participating Property stated in the applicable booking conditions and cancellation policy (or equivalent applicable policy, such as the guarantee and cancellation policy), links to which are set out below and which may be updated from time to time by us:

(1) Europe (including the European Union, United Kingdom and Georgia): https://www.discoverasr.com/en/general-rental-conditions; and

(2) the rest of the world: https://www.discoverasr.com/en/guarantee-and-cancellation-policy.

After a penalty deduction of ASR Points has been made, whether following cancellation or a no-show:

(A) ASR Points which you have applied to the Room Stays which are in excess of the penalty deduction amount will be credited back to your Account; or

(B) if the number of ASR Points which were redeemed by you is insufficient to meet the cancellation fee (or no-show fee, as the case may be), we will charge the remaining outstanding sum which is payable to us to the credit card provided by you at the time the reservation was made.

11.7 You agree to make legitimate point redemption reservations in good faith for use by yourself and your invited guests only, and not for any other purposes, including, without limitation, reselling, impermissibly assigning or posting on third party websites, or making speculative, false or fraudulent reservations, or any reservation in anticipation of demand.  Ascott reserves the right to cancel any reservations believed to be in violation of the programme terms and conditions and terminate the offending member account.
