About StayPoints®

What is StayPoints?
 

StayPoints is an international guest reward and loyalty program offered by corporate housing companies and other independent lodging providers. StayPoints offers travelers the opportunity to earn rewards while exploring diverse housing options located in some of the world's most interesting and popular destinations.
 

Why should I join StayPoints?
 

StayPoints rewards the smart traveler. Larger hotels are great for a variety of travel needs, but they're not always the best "way to stay." With StayPoints, you will have access to a new, diverse selection of lodging providers. Make a reservation with an Affiliated Property, and you can enjoy superior lodging and fantastic amenities while also receiving rewards simply for being a customer.
 

I work for a lodging provider that may be interested in offering StayPoints to their guests. Who should I contact?
 

We would love to hear from you. Please email our sales department at [email protected].
 

Is StayPoints the same as typical hotel rewards plans?
 

Yes, in some ways, but it's also much better. With StayPoints, you will have new lodging options, as well as the ability to redeem your points for an extensive selection of rewards, including actcar rentals, airfare, event tickets, and merchandise.

Earning StayPoints

How do I earn points?
 

Each StayPoints Lodging Provider defines how it will offer reward points, how many points to award and when to award them. The rate is determined by your lodging provider, with the total calculated according to the eligible cost of each booking. Taxes and other charges do not apply.
 

Are all stays eligible for reward points?
 

Not necessarily. StayPoints participating lodging providers individually determine who is eligible to receive reward points, how many points to award, and when to award them. Please check your provider's reward policy.
 

How many points per dollar will members earn?
 

The number of reward points guests earn can vary from provider to provider or reservation to reservation. In most cases, providers award three points per eligible dollar spent. Some providers offer "bonus" points at the time of move-in as an additional reward for choosing their companies, as well as rewarding you points in return for referrals. Check with your provider to see learn about their Reward Plan.
 

Can I earn points for booking rooms for someone else?
 

Sure. Please coordinate with the StayPoints lodging provider when making your reservation. Any person with an email address can join StayPoints. Points will be rewarded to the email address provided at the time of making the reservation. If you're already a StayPoints member, be sure to give the lodging provider your primary email address.
 

Can I receive reward points on multiple rooms at the same time?
 

Absolutely! Please be sure to coordinate this with your StayPoints lodging provider prior to check-in.
 

Do points expire?
 

Starting on month 37 (post enrollment date), if you haven't earned reward points in the last 12 months your points may expire.
 

Can members split the points if they are sharing a two- or three-bedroom unit?
 

This can be coordinated with your lodging provider prior to check-in.
 

I didn't receive my reward points for my last stay. Who do I contact?
 

You can expect to receive your points by the end of the month following your stays during the previous month. If you have not received your points at that time, please contact your StayPoints lodging provider who should have rewarded you points. You are also welcome to contact us for help at [email protected].
 

How often can I check my account balance?
 

Anytime you want. Just go to "My Account" and log in.
 

I am already staying with a participating lodging provider, but I am not a StayPoints member. Can I still receive points?
 

First, contact your lodging provider and explain that you are joining StayPoints. Each participating lodging provider sets its own guidelines for rewarding points.
 

If I don't have enough points to redeem something, can I buy points or pay the rest in cash?
 

Additional points can be purchased at the rate of $10 per 1,000 points. The amount of points available for purchase is calculated based on the number of points you currently have.
 

How long does it take to receive my points?
 

Points are added to the member's account each month for all stays during the previous month. If you don't see expected points in your account, please check with your StayPoints Lodging Provider before contacting StayPoints support. 
 

 
StayPoints Lodging Providers

I'm familiar with vacation rental companies and bed and breakfasts, but what is corporate housing?
 

The first corporate housing companies in the United States began their operations more than 50 years ago. There are now corporate housing companies operating in most medium to large cities around the world, but only the "Best in Class" corporate housing providers are given the opportunity to offer StayPoints to their guests.
 

Corporate housing companies rent blocks of apartments in the upper-echelon residential communities in each town and then outfit them with all the home furnishings, appliances, and accessories necessary for guests to live comfortably for an extended period of time. These residences are then offered by those corporations - generally, with utilities included - to employees who are either traveling for business purposes or who are relocating to another branch or territory at the request of their company.
 

Compared to traditional extended-stay housing or typical hotel accommodations, corporate housing tends to be both more welcoming for guests and their families as well as more affordable, depending on your required length of stay. Housing options are diverse and depend on the city, but offerings often include apartments or condo-style flats that range from compact and efficient studios to full-size three-bedroom apartments.
 

How big are the StayPoints Lodging Providers?
 

Bed and Breakfasts have fewer than 40 rooms, with the average property containing between 6 and 10 rooms. Vacation management companies can be as small as a B&B or have several hundred units located throughout a designated vacation destination, city, or town. Corporate housing companies range in size; some have as few as 20 to 25 apartments or condos they manage in one large or midsize city while others have offices throughout the United States and other countries, with a roster of furnished apartments and condos that number in the thousands. Some providers even rent furnished houses!
 

How can I find a participating StayPoints Lodging Provider?
 

StayPoints Affiliated Properties are provided in our search results based on the features and locations of the property. To find a provider, select a property (or properties) and submit an inquiry. Your inquiry will be delivered to the StayPoints Lodging Providers in that area.
 

Does StayPoints own or manage the lodging providers?
 

No. StayPoints does not own or manage any lodging company; therefore, it does not have any managerial or operational role regarding the actual lodging of StayPoints members. contacting StayPoints member support. 
 

Redeeming StayPoints

What is the redemption process?
 

To redeem your points, sign-in and select "Shop Rewards." From there, you can order merchandise or purchase airfare, hotels, rental cars, or other travel-related options.
 

Can I redeem points at my lodging provider?
 

No. All points need to be redeemed on the StayPoints website. 

Can I transfer my points to another member's account?
 

No. That being said, email addresses can be added to your account as Associated Emails, and points awarded to any of those email addresses will go directly into your primary activated account. Once those points have been moved into a primary account, they cannot be transferred to any other account. Each Associated Email address must be activated and cannot be associated with another StayPoints account. 
 

Can StayPoints be combined with other rewards programs?
 

Not at this time.
 

Can I redeem StayPoints for cash?
 

No, StayPoints cannot be redeemed for cash.
 

If I don't have enough points to redeem something, can I buy points or pay the rest in cash?
 

Additional points can be purchased at the rate of $10 per 1,000 points. Please contact StayPoints Member Support to fulfill this request ([email protected])
 

Who can I call with questions about a reward I would like to redeem, or to get a status on one I have already submitted for redemption?
