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

following such cessation and Sails may not be redeemed for awards after the

termination date. 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

the Member is the named account holder or an authorized signatory, or are

qualifying charges after the Member completes his/her stay and is checked out of

Resort directly to request retroactive Sails issuance. Retroactive Sails credit
timeframe is of one (1) year. 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.
7. Awards
Not Combinable. Awards are not combinable on the same dates with other
awards, upgrade certificates, certificate discounts or benefits, incentive

Member may be required to present photo identification, comply with any other
verification required by the local law and provide a credit card or cash
deposit for incidentals.
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:

who wishes to gift the award, but the reservation must be made in the name of
the person who will use the award (i.e., the recipient of the gifted award).

identification and a credit card or cash deposit for incidentals at check-in.
c) Once an Award Reservation has been made, the
reservation may not be transferred. The reservation may only be used by the
person whose name appears on the reservation. The reservation may be cancelled
in accordance with the applicable hotel, resort, or other participating
property’s cancellation policy, in which event the award credit or the Sails
redeemed for the award will be returned to the account of the Member who made
the reservation.
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.

Columbia Beach Resort.

charges in excess of the award amount) are ineligible to earn Sails in the
Program.
d) The Member must inform a Columbia Beach Resort
Colleague of his or her intention to redeem an award at the outset of the meal,
spa service, or other applicable transaction. 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.

Purchasing Sails. Columbia Beach Resort allows Members
to purchase Bonus Sails for themselves or to give directly to other Members.
Program membership for at least sixty (60) days is required to purchase, give,
or receive Bonus Sails under this option. Except where expressly permitted by
Columbia Beach Resort: (a) Bonus Sails may only be purchased in increments of
1,000 Bonus Sails, up to a maximum of 55,000 Bonus Sails per
transaction; (b) Members may purchase a maximum of 55,000 Bonus
Sails for their own account per calendar year; and (c) Members may claim gifted
Bonus Sails up to a maximum of 55,000 Bonus Sails per calendar
year. Purchase of Bonus Sails is non-refundable, and these transactions cannot
be reversed.
The purchase price of Bonus Sails is
subject to change without notice. No monetary refunds will be given for purchased
Sails. Additional terms and conditions may apply to these transactions.
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

email as specified on the form. Once received, please allow between two and

one Member’s account. Sails received through transfer will be considered Bonus
Sails for the recipient. Once issued in the designated recipient Member’s
name, the Member transferring the Sails will relinquish all rights to the
combined Sails.
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. They are not negotiable,
commissionable, or redeemable for cash, and are void if a Member sells,
barters, auctions, donates, assigns, conveys, or otherwise transfers them (or makes
any attempt to do so) in a manner not expressly allowed by these Terms or
otherwise permitted by Columbia Beach Resort (in writing) in its sole
discretion. 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:
I. receiving Sails via authorized means
II. redeeming Sails (and, if applicable, completing
any reservation for which such Sails were redeemed)
III. gifting a Program award (in accordance with
these Terms),
IV. purchasing or combining Sails
If a Member
redeems Sails for an Award Reservation and either cancels that reservation or
does not actually check-in on the appointed date (i.e. no-shows), that
reservation will not count as a redemption of Sails pursuant to subsection of
the preceding sentence and will not toll the measurement of that Member’s
Program inactivity.
b) Causes of Membership Termination. Columbia Beach Resort may
immediately, without notice, limit or terminate your membership if a Member:
I. violates these Terms or any other
applicable additional terms or appear to be utilizing the Program in a manner
inconsistent with these Terms or the intent of the Program;
II. fails to promptly pay hotel bills;
III. is suspected or found to be acting in an abusive or
fraudulent manner or engaging in any conduct that artificially, improperly, or
deceptively impacts the accumulation, use, or loss of Sails, awards, or
membership benefits
IV. attempts to transfer own account or any Sails
or awards to another Member or a third party, except as expressly permitted by
these Terms or with the express written permission of Columbia Beach Resort;
V. makes any misrepresentation in connection
with the Program; (vi) impairs the normal functioning
of the Program Site or the Program;
VI. disturbs other guests or otherwise disrupt or
impair the normal operation of any Columbia Beach Resort or partner property;
VII. acts in a manner detrimental to
Columbia Beach Resort, a Columbia Beach Resort team member, other Members, or
any third party (including, without limitation, behaving towards any Columbia
Beach Resort team member or other guest of the Resort in any manner that is
abusive, harassing, threatening, derogatory, disrespectful, lewd, obscene,
offensive, or otherwise inappropriate, all as determined by Columbia Beach
Resort in its sole discretion);
VIII. acts in any manner inconsistent with local, state, provincial,
national, or federal laws, regulations, orders, or other rules.
c) Termination by Member. If a Member would like to discontinue own membership, he / she may request that
Columbia Beach Resort closes his / her account by contacting Columbia Beach
Resort Guests Services desk. Once a termination request is submitted,
termination is irreversible and the related account will be closed and all
Sails, awards, and benefits forfeited as described below.
d) Effects of Termination. If a membership is terminated,
all Sails, awards, and benefits associated with related account will be lost
and the Guest will not be able to earn or redeem Sails or awards in the Program.
Likewise, his / her future participation in the Program may be prohibited in
Columbia Beach Resort’s sole discretion.
e) Termination of the Program. We also reserve the right to
terminate the program completely at any time by providing active members with
six (6) months written notice to the email or mailing address associated with
their accounts, unless a shorter notice period (or no notice) is required or
permitted by applicable law. Any Sails or awards in the related account or
otherwise held by the Member on the effective date of termination will be
forfeited. Any conclusion to the program that results in the transfer of
members to a successor Loyalty Rewarding Program, where such members do not
forfeit all unexpired, unredeemed Sails in their account as a result, will not
be considered a termination of the program for the purposes of the above notice
provision.
8. MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS;
MODIFICATION TO THE PROGRAM
a) Modification of These Terms. Columbia Beach Resort reserves
the right to modify these Terms from time-to-time, with reasonable notice to

associated with Members’ account. The updated Terms will be effective as of the
time of posting, or upon such later date or by such other method as specified
by Columbia Beach Resort. Unless otherwise stated, the updated Terms will apply
to your participation in the Program beginning as of their effective date.
These Terms may only be modified in accordance with this section. Otherwise, no
employee, agent, or other representative of Columbia Beach Resort or any
Columbia Beach Resort Party (defined in Section V below) has the right or authority
to modify any of these Terms.
