Is there an age requirement? Thanks!
I did some poking around and it wasn’t super obvious in any terms and conditions that I found.
I will say that most hotels in the US don’t allow people under the age of 18 to check themselves in.
I’ve had plenty of issues trying to check into a reservation that we booked under my husband’s name if he hasn’t arrived yet so I wouldn’t go making accounts for my kids for this one.
I hope that answers your question.
Is there a list of participating hotel for the required 2 paid stays?
Should be any hotel with a qualifying stay
Do stays booked through the UR portal count as “paid” stays?
