When a passenger uses loyalty points to book a flight, those points can be returned or lost based on a system setting. There are 4 options for this setting:
Option 1: Points used for reservations are lost on changes.
Option 2: Points used for reservations are returned to owner on changes.
Option 3: Points used for reservations are returned to owner on changes except segment cancellations
- When a segment of a passenger is cancelled, points used to make the reservation are lost.
- When cancelling no-show reservations upon closing a flight, points that were used to make these reservations are lost.
- Points are returned to owner on other changes.
Option 4: Points used for reservations are returned to owner on changes except no show cancellations
- When a passenger does not show up for the flight, they are marked as no-show and points that were used to make the reservation are lost.
- Points are returned to owner on other changes, such as removing the owner from the reservation, or cancelling the reservation before no-show time frame.
NOTE: Please contact your account manager to change the setting.
