If you are transferring points from another member's account to your own account because you have used your Credit Card to pay for part of a booking, you must ask the account owner to e-mail support@almanarbooking.com to grant permission. You will receive points according to the amount that has been charged to your Credit Card.
If you are transferring points between accounts registered under the same name, you must provide us with the proof that you are the owner of both accounts, which means registered names, contact details, and Credit Card details in both accounts must be the same. To request an account merge and transfer of points to an existing account and to terminate the new duplicate account, e-mail support@almanarbooking.com.
Miscellaneous
I have entered the password sent in the e-mail registered with the almanarbooking Rewards Program, and it gives me the error message: "The information that you have entered is invalid." What am I doing wrong?
Your password is case-sensitive, so please check to ensure that you are entering the password correctly. If you have used the correct details and are still having problems, please contact support@almanarbooking.com for assistance. Alternatively you can request password retrieval by using the "Forgot Password?" link.
