Earning something back from every stay is an appealing idea when booking hotels in Turkey. This guide explains how to collect loyalty points in Turkey and how to use them wisely.
Where Points Come From
Hotel loyalty points usually come from three sources:
- Hotel chain schemes: international and Turkish chains give members points per stay, plus perks such as room upgrades or late check-out.
- Credit card schemes: some cards offer extra points on travel spending.
- Airline schemes: some airlines award miles for stays at partner hotels.
Note: Londonos does not run its own points scheme; at chain hotels, add your membership number to the booking notes and ask the hotel whether the stay qualifies for its own programme.
Using Points Wisely
- Focusing on one scheme helps you build points faster.
- Points usually go further on peak-season nights when cash prices are high.
- Check expiry dates and blackout dates in the scheme’s terms.
Points or Price?
Points are tempting, but don’t decide on points alone. Even if a chain hotel earns you points, a boutique hotel in the same area may be better on location, facilities or total price. Compare options such as Yeshill Boutique Hotel in Marmaris or Oran Hotel in Istanbul’s old city.
Where to Stay in Turkey
Whether you want a resort on the Antalya coast, an apartment in Kemer such as Sweet Home Kemer Apartments or a city hotel in Istanbul for a business trip, browse hotels in Antalya, hotels in Kemer and hotels in Istanbul for your dates.
Before You Join a Loyalty Programme
Hotel chain loyalty programmes usually award points only for bookings made through the chain’s own channels, so read the terms on the membership page. Expiry dates, which hotels and dates points can be used for and what extras are included vary between programmes.
Many of Turkey’s best resorts and boutique hotels are independent and not part of any chain’s programme. If you travel once or twice a year, comparing the total price, location and room terms for each stay often gives more value than chasing points.
In Short
Loyalty points can make a small but useful difference to your travel budget, but the best choice is the stay that fits your needs with a clear total price. When you book on Londonos, your card is not charged now; the amount is taken once your booking is confirmed.
