What do I do if my status has not changed since my last stay and I think the points are missing?
Loyalty points accumulated during your most recent stay will be credited to your Great Member account 24 hours after check-out.
If your points have not been processed within 48 hours of check-out, please contact Customer Relations on customerrelations.australia@clubmed.com with your Great Members number and booking number, and our team will resolve this.
Should I create additional Great Members accounts for a member of my household?
Your Great Members number is the key to accessing your status and the benefits to which it entitles you. All members of a household have the same status and enjoy the same benefits. It is therefore not necessary to have several accounts to take advantage of your benefits.
I’m travelling with friends, can I claim the points from their stay towards my status?
Status is calculated per household, so you cannot benefit from your friends’ stays. Your friends will have their own status linked to their Great Member number.
Can my children join the Great Members program?
Your Great Members Status applies to all members of your household, including children under 18 years who automatically become part of the program. When travelling with you, they contribute to your status and enjoy the same benefits.
My partner also has a Great Members account. Can we merge the two?
If you and your partner wish to merge your two separate accounts, please contact our Call Centre on 0800 258. Your new status will be determined by the account history of the two previously separate accounts.
Will my status be downgraded if points expire during the year and I fall below the tier threshold?
No, you will maintain your membership status for the calendar year until 31 December. However, if you earn points during the year and reach the threshold of a higher tier, your status will be upgraded, and you can enjoy its benefits immediately.
I have Turquoise status, but I have not travelled for more than a yea. Will I retain my status for 3 more years?
Your Turquoise status is calculated based on the past 3 years. Your status is retained for 3 years since your last stay. If your last stay at Club Med was over 3 years ago, you will no longer be a member of the program. If your last stay was 2 years ago, you will maintain your status for just another year. Your new stay(s) will prolong your status in the program for 3 years.
Can I exchange my points for discounts, specials or other benefits?
No, points are not a currency. Points collected enable members to access a status and enjoy the benefits associated therewith.
