8.Guest will not receive Starpoints or airline miles for their reservation. Cash & Points rates are ineligible for Starpoint earnings, even though the member does pay monies directly to the hotel; however,
!!! Starpoints are still earned on eligible incidentals as usual, and all in-hotel benefits should be honored for members staying on this rate.!!!
