About membership level

Q.What are Membership Stages?
There are four stages: Bronze, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. For details regarding the requirements for each stage and the corresponding member benefits, please refer to this page.
Q.Where can I check my current Membership Stage?
You can check your current status on your "My Page." Your stage is determined by either the total points earned or the number of nights stayed within the current year.
Q.I have met the requirements for the next stage. When will my status be upgraded?
If your total points or nights stayed within the fiscal year (April 1st to March 31st) meet the criteria for a higher stage, your status will officially upgrade on April 7th of the following fiscal year. However, if you meet the criteria before the end of the fiscal year, you will receive an early upgrade on the 7th of the following month.
Q.Does using my points affect my stage evaluation?
No, it does not. Your Membership Stage is determined by the total points earned within the fiscal year, regardless of how many you spend.
Q.I have over 2,500 points, but my stage hasn't changed. Why?
Membership Stages are determined by the points earned within the fiscal year, not by your total available point balance.
Q.Can my membership level go down after it was raised?
If the points earned or nights stayed during the relevant period do not meet the criteria for your current level, your membership will be downgraded one level from April 7th of the next fiscal year.

About the number of nights

Q.When will I receive the (certified) number of nights?
Your stay count will be credited after the afternoon of the day following your checkout. (This also applies to consecutive multi-night stays.) Please note that only reservations made through our official website, app, or directly with the hotel via phone or in person are eligible for night credits.
Q.Please tell me how I check my accommodation record.
You can view your record on the "Accommodation Record" page of the web My Page, or by selecting "Points & Stay Details" within the My Page section on the app's "Home" screen.
Q.If I book multiple rooms, will all of them count toward my accommodation record?
Nights stayed are only counted for the one room occupied by the member themselves. For any additional rooms, nights will only be counted for the occupants if they are also registered members.
Q.If the guests staying in the room are not members, will the member who made the reservation receive the stay credits?
Since nights are only counted for the member's own stay, they are not counted for reservations made on behalf of others.
Q.Do "Day Use" or "Day Trip" plans count toward my accommodation record?
"Day Use" and "Day Trip" plans will not count toward your accommodation record. However, you will still earn points for these bookings.
Q.Will the booking count toward my accommodation record if I use a complimentary stay voucher?
Yes, the booking will count toward your accommodation record. However, points will not be awarded when using a stay voucher.
Q.If I stay for two nights starting March 30th, will it count toward the current fiscal year?
Stay counts are determined by the checkout date. For a two-night stay starting March 30th (checking out on April 1st), the stay will be counted toward the following fiscal year.
