When you purchase a Toga Hospitality Gift Certificate you agree to adhere to the Toga Hospitality terms and conditions of use and purchase. You become legally bound by these terms and conditions. Please do not proceed and purchase a gift certificate until you have read, understood and accepted the terms and conditions.
1. RESERVATIONS
Reservations at all Australian Toga Hospitality hotels including; Medina Apartment Hotels, Vibe Hotels, and Travelodge Hotels are subject to allocation and availability at the time of reservation.
Blackout dates may apply to seasonal periods, including; school holidays and public holidays, or any special events periods. Room allocations fill quickly during special events, school holidays, public holidays and weekends and no guarantee can be given that an allocated room will be available at any hotel or for the days that a customer may prefer. Toga Hospitality does suggest that all gift certificate recipients book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
All gift certificate reservations must be made either through the Central Reservations team or via the hotel direct. Customers must quote the gift certificate number and must also quote a credit card number when making a reservation. A valid credit card is required to secure all bookings as a reservation cannot be completed without one.
When making a gift certificate reservation the name on the gift certificate must match the name of the person making the reservation. This is for security reasons and can not be waivered.
Australia Wide Reservations
Medina Apartment Hotels – 1300 MEDINA (1300 633 462)
Travelodge Hotels – 1300 886 886
Vibe Hotels – 13 VIBE (13 8423)
If the amount of credit that is available on the gift certificate is less than the total value of your accommodation booking, you will be prompted to pay the balance by credit card at checkout. If you spend less than the amount specified on your gift certificate, that amount will be reissued in the form of a new gift certificate that must still be redeemed before expiry.
2. CANCELLING A RESERVATION
If a customer cancels their reservation, they must do so by either contacting the Central Reservations team or the hotel direct and advising of the relevant cancellation. If the customer fails to cancel the reservation 24 hours prior to check-in time (2pm on the day prior to arrival), the relevant hotel will be entitled to deduct one night of accommodation dollars in relation to the reservation as a cancellation fee.
3. REDEEMABLE SERVICES
Gift certificates are only valid in Australia at Toga Hospitality hotels. A gift certificate entitles the bearer to overnight accommodation at the hotel's 'Best Available Rate' at the time of booking, at either Medina Apartment Hotels or Vibe Hotels or Travelodge Hotels in Australia only as listed in the Toga Hospitality Directory at the specified redemption rate advised by Reservations at each of the hotels at the time of booking.
The gift certificate can be used to redeem the accommodation dollars principally towards pre-booked accommodation including; special discount offers such as Entertainment Card Reservations. Any remaining balance on the gift certificate can then be used towards payment or part-payment of the customer's room account from any additional charges or services used in the hotel including; food and beverage charges, mini bar, in-house movies, car parking or other incidental charges.
4. NO ADDITIONAL VALUE CAN BE PUT ON THE GIFT CERTIFICATE
Additional value cannot be added to a gift certificate. All transactions are declined once the gift certificate balance reaches zero.
Any additional value sought by a customer will require the purchase of a new gift certificate, in accordance with these terms and conditions. The customer may, however, redeem on two or more separate gift certificates.
5. PURCHASE
A customer must purchase at least $50.00 Australian dollars per gift certificate, and $50.00 increments may be purchased thereafter, but may not exceed $500.00 Australian dollars for each gift certificate. If more than $500.00 Australian dollars are required, one or more additional gift certificates must be purchased.
Toga Hospitality gift certificates are only valid for the Australian dollar amount displayed on the certificate and cannot be exchanged for cash. Gift certificates do not accrue any reward or loyalty points when purchased or redeemed.
The dollar value that is purchased on the gift certificate is a pre-payment. The gift certificate should be looked after by the customer like cash. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with the gift certificate.
6. PAYMENT
Payment for an online gift certificate may be made by any of the following credit cards: MasterCard and Visa.
Refunds and exchanges are not available after full payment is received. All stated prices are in Australian dollars and include Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the current rate of 10% in Australia.
