A night where you:

• Reservation is made with the email address in your member account
• Provide your membership info at check-in
• Pay a qualifying rate
• Book through a hotel direct channel
• Stay in the reserved guest room

Direct bookings through hotel websites or by phone qualify. Reservations via third-party sites (e.g., Expedia, Priceline, etc.), group rates, or comped stays do not qualify.

We’re proud to welcome guests booking through our valued corporate travel programs, consortia, and credit card partners. In some cases, these reservations may not automatically link to your Stay Golden account due to system limitations. If your stay doesn’t appear, simply email staygolden@meritagecollection.com with your reservation details, and our Member Support team will be happy to add it for you.

Yes, you can earn elite night credits for up to three rooms per night—so long as one is occupied by you. However, rewards (e.g., drinks, spa) only apply to the room you’re staying in.

Yes! If your reservation was made directly through the hotel, but you aren’t a member yet, just join before check-in. You can choose and access your welcome rewards and special offers through the member portal.

Each qualifying stay allows you to choose one of each available reward. You’ll receive one Signature Drink and one Spa Enhancement per stay, per reservation.

There are no points to track! Stay Golden Rewards is about instant, meaningful perks—not confusing tiers or complex balances. Rewards are tied to each qualifying stay, not accumulated over time.

If your reservation is canceled, your selected rewards will also be canceled. If your stay dates change, you may receive a new email to reselect your rewards.

Rewards must be used during your stay and expire upon checkout. We recommend redeeming them as soon as you arrive!
