Use of Gift Card or Gift Voucher at Participating Hotels
Gift Cards and Vouchers are used primarily to redeem Program Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Experiences and Services at Participating Hotels. Customers may make a booking or reservation at a Participating Hotel by either calling the hotel direct or directly online via www.qthotels.com.
Accommodation reservations require a valid credit card to confirm the reservation. Upon check-in at the relevant Participating Hotel the Customer should present the original Gift Card or Gift Voucher and inform staff if they wish to redeem the Gift Dollars in exchange for Program Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Experiences and Services. Upon check-out, the Customer’s credit card will not be used to pay the final account if the Customer uses the Gift Dollars stored on their Gift Card or Gift Voucher.
Copies of Gift Cards or Gift Vouchers will not be accepted. Gift Cards and Gift Vouchers will be deemed void if altered in any way. A Participating Hotel may refuse to accept a damaged Gift Card or Gift Voucher or if it considers on reasonable grounds that the card or voucher has been altered, stolen, defaced or is being used in a criminal or fraudulent manner.
Gift Cards and Gift Vouchers and associated Gift Dollars, or Program Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Experiences and Services bought with them, are not redeemable for cash or credit card transactions, hotel line of credit nor hotel accounts.
Gift Cards or Gift Vouchers cannot be replaced if lost or stolen and should be treated with the same care and security as cash.
The card remains the property of the Promoter.
If there are sufficient Gift Dollars on a Customer’s Gift Card or Gift Voucher to redeem the selected Program Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Experiences and Services in full, the Gift Dollars cannot be used in conjunction with part-cash payments. If there are insufficient Gift Dollars on the Customer’s card or voucher to redeem the selected Program Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Experiences and Services in full, then the balance may be settled by the Customer with a cash or credit card payment.
The list of Participating Hotels will change over time. A list of current Participating Hotels can be found online at www.qthotels.com. Please check the website to see if a particular hotel is a Participating Hotel in the Program prior to making your reservation.
QT branded Gift Cards cannot be used at Rydges or Atura branded hotels.
Gift Dollars can be used to redeem Program Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Experiences and Services including meals, bar tabs, room service and other services that can be charged to a guest account folio at Participating Hotels. Any other travel costs and expenses incurred are the sole responsibility of the Customer.
Gift Cards or Gift Vouchers may not be “topped up” with additional Gift Dollars to those already pre-loaded onto the Gift Card or Gift Voucher at the point of issue. Additional Gift Dollars will require the purchase of a new Gift Card or Gift Voucher and associated Gift Dollars, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. A Customer can redeem Gift Dollars in exchange for Program Accommodation, Food & Beverage, Experiences and Services from multiple (two or more) Gift Cards or Gift Vouchers at the same time.
Reservations at Participating Hotels remain subject to availability at the time of booking and are subject to the applicable Hotel Booking Terms and Conditions for each Participating Hotel.
Customers can cancel a reservation, however they must do so by contacting the applicable Participating Hotel directly and advising them of the cancellation. Customers should check the relevant cancellation policy for the Participating Hotel, as referred to in the booking confirmation email sent to the Customer.
