The website has a Missing Points Request form that must be included along with the hotel bill to request the credit of the missing points. If the bill cannot be included, print the form and send both documents via email.
REDEEMING POINTS FOR NIGHTS AND UPGRADES
The member that wishes to redeem points for nights will have to book previously through the customer service center +58 800 EURORES (3876737) or the website www.europuntos.com for a maximum of two (2) rooms per stay. Once the booking is complete, the member will receive confirmation via email. Presentation of the booking confirmation is mandatory during check-in at one of our partner hotels. In the event that the booking is not cancelled 24 hours in advance and the member does not show up, points will be debited from the account equivalent to a one night stay. The member cannot modify bookings after check-in, if the member needs to shorten their stay, the points equivalent to the remaining nights will be deducted. If the member needs to extend their stay using points, they must process a new booking through the aforementioned website or the customer service center, a minimum of 24 hours in advance. Points can also be exchanged for “upgrades” at any of the partner hotels with a previous request and subject to availability. Upgrades will not be accepted through the exchange of points without a previous booking.
The Europuntos program recommends advance booking, since it has a specific number of rooms assigned for rewards during high season.
