Article 8 Saving Points
- The Hotel uses the following calculation to grant Points when Members purchase goods or services and make payments for them. Fractional Points shall be discarded, and taxes related to Points shall be paid by Members. The Hotel notifies Members about Point information.
<Point = Actual amount paid for purchase of goods or services (X) Hotel's Point saving rate notified >
- Points may be saved when a Member himself/herself has paid for goods or services. In the case of Hotel rooms, —including the Member's room and extra beds—can be saved when the Member has made payment.
- Points may not be saved for multiple Memberships in one transaction, and Points for a Membership may not be added to or exchanged with those of another Membership. If a Member pays for goods or services from the Hotel in cash, credit card, etc. and requests double Point saving or double discount by presenting both the Membership card and another discount card, the Hotel may refuse it. The Member may then choose to use either Membership Points or other discount, upon the Hotel's request.
- For Point saving, a Member shall present his/her Membership card or ID certificate.
- Points shall automatically be saved lump-sum on the date immediately following the date of purchase, and the saved Points may immediately be used when they become eligible for use.

- Saving cannot be made for Points used in a transaction, and there shall be no limit on the Points saved in each transaction.
- Points shall immediately be saved upon request at the time of purchasing goods or services in principle. If, however, Points are not saved due to a Member's failure to present Membership card or number, then retroactive saving shall only be allowed when a request for saving of the omitted Points is made within 3 months by submitting written evidence on the homepage or to the department in charge of Membership.
Article 9 Using Points
- 1 Point equals to the value of 1 Korean won and it can be used as cash starting from 100 points. The "point" is deducted in real-time when the guest checks-in or uses the hotel's facilities.
- A payment for purchase of goods or services can be made in whole or in part with usable Points. At the time of using the Points, together with an ID certificate that proves identity, a Membership card itself shall be presented or a Membership number shall be presented by mobile device, and then the intent to use Points shall be orally notified to the Hotel employee.
- Conversion into a 1-night room stay shall be allowed with at least 120,000 Points.
- A Member with 50,000 or more usable Points can exchange the Points with a Walkerhill gift certificate by actually visiting the Hotel or visiting the homepage (My page > Apply for use/conversion) under such procedure prescribed by the Hotel. Gift certificates shall be issued in KRW 50,000/100,000 units. The Member who requested the exchange on the homepage may visit the Hotel and present a text message showing the request completed and his/her ID certificate to realize the exchange. An exchange can be made without a request made in the homepage, when a Member visits the Hotel carrying his/her Membership number and ID certificate. After a request for the exchange is made, such request cannot be canceled and Points cannot be returned.
- After the use of Points, if the purchase which originally caused saving of the Points used is canceled, resulting in the remaining Points going in the negative (minus), no Point saved may be used until the remaining Points are increased to zero. In this case, the Hotel may claim expenses corresponding to the negative value of Points against the Member.
- Points can only be used in a method prescribed in this Article, and cannot be exchanged with cash, etc.
Article 10 Correction, cancelation and elimination of Points
- If there is an error in the saving of Points, then the relevant Member shall request the Hotel for correction within 60 days of the error. The Hotel may then make correction within 30 days of the Member's request. However, the Member shall present objective materials that can prove such error (e.g. receipt).
- Points shall be valid for 3 years from the date on which they are saved, and any Points not used until the elapse of such period shall automatically be eliminated at the end of the relevant month.
- The Hotel, where certain Points are scheduled to be eliminated, shall send, once a month, an alert e-mail to the relevant Member at such e-mail address registered by the Member. The same can also be checked online by a website subscriber in "My page." Members shall be responsible for failure to receive the above-mentioned e-mail due to their provision of wrong information.
Article 11 Points in cases of Membership withdrawal and disqualification
- A Member intending to withdraw his/her Membership pursuant to Article 7 Paragraph 1 may use usable Points saved until the date of request for the Membership withdrawal, as prescribed herein.
