If a Member does not choose (but has otherwise paid an Eligible Rate and associated his/her membership number with the applicable reservation), Sails in the Program will be earned. For purposes of the Program, a “stay” means any night or series of consecutive nights spent by a Member at the Resort. Consecutive nights count as a single stay, regardless of whether the Member checks out and then back in over the course of the stay.

The Member must check-in and complete the stay for his / her reservation at the Columbia Beach Resort only to earn Sails. No Sails will be awarded for any non-refundable prepaid fees, cancellation fees, or no-show fees paid by a Member for a reservation that (s)he did not actually use. Earning of Sails on stays is applicable only for direct bookings.

3.

A Member will only earn Sails for qualifying charges after the Member completes his/her stay and is checked out of the applicable hotel, resort, or other participating property.

The Member will earn Sails for each of the suites. In addition, only the suite occupied by the Member will count toward current Program promotions and receive Program benefits and services. The occupant(s) of the additional suite(s) will not receive Sails.

Charges that would otherwise qualify as Eligible Non-Stay Charges that were incurred prior to a Member’s enrolment in the Program are not eligible for retroactive credit.

6. Unused Portion of Award Forfeited.  No credit will be issued for any portion of an award that is not fully used. If a Member has an Award Reservation, checks in, and departs earlier than the confirmed checkout date, the Member forfeits any unused portion of the award and corresponding Sails.

9. Gifting an Award. Members may request that certain awards be issued to another person. Free Night Awards, certain Suite Upgrade Awards, and Sails Awards are currently eligible to be gifted to another person, as permitted under this provision.  In order to gift an award that can be gifted in the Program, a Member must comply with the following requirements:

d)   Gifting of an award does not include the transfer of Program membership benefits, except where otherwise detailed in these Terms.

 

10. Expiration of Awards; Expired Awards Not Extendable. Some awards are subject to an expiration date, as specified in these Terms or in separate offer terms for a promotional award. Awards are void if not redeemed prior to the specified expiration date. The redemption period for any such award will not be extended. For stay-based awards, expiration is measured by the checkout date of the stay on which such award is redeemed. The checkout date for the Award Reservation on which any such award is redeemed must occur before the expiration date of the award. Other types of awards may specify how their expiration date is measured in the terms for the applicable award.

The Member may be required to provide his/her Program membership number and valid identification when redeeming an award.

e)   When a Member redeems a Dining or Spa Award, the corresponding number of Sails for that award will be automatically deducted from Member’s account. A Member may redeem Sails for an award that is applied to part of a larger charge; however, that Member is financially responsible for any portion of charges exceeding the award value. If a Member does not have a sufficient number of Sails in his or her account for the award amount (s)  he has attempted to redeem, the award transaction will be cancelled, and the Member will be required to settle the charges with another form of payment. If the award amount exceeds the Eligible Redemption Charges to which it is applied by the Member, no credit will be issued for any portion of the award that is not fully used.

Combining Sails. A Member may combine Sails from their account with those of one other specifically designated Member. A single Member may participate in a Sail-combining transaction (transferring or receiving of Sails) not more than once every 30 days. In order to combine Sails, the following requirements must be met:

(a) Each Member must have an active account to be eligible to combine Sails.

(b) A Program Sail Combination Request Form must be completed and signed by both Members and submitted to Columbia Beach Resort Guest Services desk.

Sails not Property; Other Transfer of Sails Prohibited. Sails do not constitute property of the Member. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, Sails cannot be given away by a Member.

Sails may not be transferred via divorce or inheritance.  In the case of documented death of a Member, Sails (but not elite status or awards) are transferable on a one-time basis to one (1) person sharing the same residential mailing address as the deceased Member. Receipt of Sails in such a transfer requires the recipient to be a Member. (Columbia Beach Resort will have no responsibility for any disputes related to the transference of the Sails of a deceased Member and, in the event that Columbia Beach Resort receives competing transfer requests from more than one (1) person sharing the deceased Member’s residential address and such dispute cannot be resolved to Columbia Beach Resort’s satisfaction, Columbia Beach Resort may refuse all transfers and void the deceased Member’s Sails.)

 

5.  SAILS DEDUCTION; CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOWS

When a Member makes an Award Reservation, the corresponding number of Sails or the electronic voucher for the applicable award for that reservation will be automatically deducted from Member’s account within approximately three (3) days of booking. If the Member does not have the sufficient number of Sails or the applicable voucher in his or her account as the check-in date of the Award Reservation nears (as determined by Columbia Beach Resort in its sole discretion), the reservation may be cancelled or changed by Columbia Beach Resort in its sole discretion to the then-current Standard Rate for the applicable suite category. If the award the Member attempted to use is a Room Upgrade Award, the upgrade may be refused.  

Award Reservations are subject to the Columbia Beach Resort’s cancellation policy. If a Member cancels an Award Reservation in compliance with the resort’s cancellation policy, any corresponding Sails that have been deducted from the Member’s account will be returned to the account within approximately three (3) days of the cancellation. If a Member does not follow the proper cancellation policy or if a Member does not check into the resort when scheduled, the credit card provided with the Award Reservation will be charged in accordance with the resort’s cancellation or no-show policy and any Sails redeemed for the applicable Award Reservation will be returned to the Member’s account.  

 

7. LOSS OF SAILS; TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP; TERMINATION OF THE PROGRAM

a)    Inactivity. If a Member’s account is inactive for twenty-four (24) consecutive months, all Sails in that Member’s account will be forfeited at that time, but the Member’s account will remain open (with the ability to earn new Sails thereafter) unless the Member’s account is otherwise terminated in accordance with these Terms. Under no circumstances will forfeited Sails be reinstated. Active Members can remain active in the Program by:
