Tokens accrual is limited to individual travel and the room must be paid for individually by the Member or direct billed to the entity who has arranged payment for the Member’s Stay that is not associated with a convention or group meeting. If the Member attends a convention or group meeting and individually pays the hotel or other property directly for the room, he/she will be eligible to receive Tokens for the Stay.

Additional documentation may be requested in "Stay Innovation"’s sole and absolute discretion.
-
Foreign Currency Exchange. The amount of Tokens earned at Participating Properties where a non-U.S. dollar currency is used will be calculated based on Qualifying Charges converted to U.S. Dollar at the exchange rate selected by "Stay Innovation".

"Stay Innovation" reserves the right to cancel any reservations it believes to be in violation of the Programme Rules.
xv. If a Participating Property exits the Loyalty Programme for any reason after a Member makes an Award Stay reservation but before the Member’s Stay, "Stay Innovation" will use reasonable efforts to have such former Participating Property honor the reservation or assist in arranging equivalent accommodations nearby; however, "Stay Innovation" cannot guarantee that any Awards, upgrades or any other benefits a Member may earn under the Loyalty Programme will be honored and will notify the member if the booking is cancelled. "Stay Innovation" will have no liability in relation to any such cancelled booking.
xvi. An Award Stay at destinations outside the United States is subject to all required government approvals, restrictions, applicable taxes and/or service charges. Awards do not include United States federal inspection fees or any other fees, expenses, surcharges, taxes or other costs or expenses that may be imposed by foreign governments for international travel.
