Lifestyle Qualified Credits can be used from your current or previous membership year, provided they are not borrowed or transferred. To be eligible, credits must have at least 6 months validity remaining at the time of booking. Understanding these rules helps you plan effectively and avoid issues when redeeming your benefits.
Understanding how to use your Lifestyle Qualified Credits is key to making the most of your membership. These credits can be used towards Lifestyle Adventures and other eligible travel benefits, but there are important rules around eligibility and validity that must be followed.
What Credits Can You Use?
Lifestyle Qualified Credits can be used if they meet the following criteria:
- They are allocated to your account for the current membership year, or
- They have been carried over from the previous year
This gives you flexibility to plan ahead while still using any eligible credits you may already have available.
What Credits Cannot Be Used?
There are specific restrictions in place to ensure fair and consistent usage:
- Credits borrowed from a future membership year cannot be used
- Credits transferred from another member are not eligible
Only your own valid, eligible credits can be applied to bookings.
Minimum Validity Requirement
To use your Lifestyle Qualified Credits, they must meet a strict validity rule:
- Credits must have a minimum of 6 months (180 days) validity remaining from the date of booking
This ensures there is enough time for processing, fulfilment, and completion of your Lifestyle Adventure.
If your credits are close to expiry, you may need to:
- Use them for a different eligible benefit, or
- Top up your booking with cash instead
Why Validity Matters
The 6-month validity requirement is important because:
- Lifestyle Adventures often involve third-party providers
- Bookings may include future travel dates or supplier processing time
- It helps prevent issues with expired credits before travel is completed
Tips for Using Your Credits
- Check your credit expiry dates before browsing offers
- Plan ahead to ensure your credits meet the 180-day requirement
- Review the credit requirements listed on each offer carefully
- Consider combining credits with cash if needed
