I now can book a hotel for the value of A$83.12 for one night only but just pay the taxes. If the value of the hotel booking you want is over that average value you pay the difference to get that hotel (plus taxes). If the value of the hotel booking you want is less than that average value, that difference CANNOT cover the taxes you meant to pay that residual value is forfeited and cannot be used for another night.  Example: of average nights calculated on pre-tax basis You will be upgraded to silver member status after 10 nights booked within a year. How to claim the free night? Click on " Redeem nights " button Select the " Free night value of " as shown and Redeem Booking complete and discount applied and  you pay the difference
