The program will change to a 4 night average room rate credit toward a future stay.

For every four times you stay, the room rates you pay (regardless of applicable standard discounts) will be averaged into a single night rate discount you can use on the stay of your choice (excepting holiday and soccer tournament weekends).

If you have not earned a free night on our five night program, do not worry, your existing cards will automatically convert to the new system.  If you have earned a free night, but not redeemed it, you will still be able to redeem earned nights until December 31, 2013.

Please do not hesitate to call us if you have questions.
