Unless specifically stated otherwise, members shall receive the benefits according to their status when staying at qualifying rates.
The following rates do not count as qualifying rates:

To do this, the member must send a copy of their cancellation cost invoice to  mymaritim@maritim.de.

5.6 Participating Hotels
5.6.1 If a participating hotel withdraws from the loyalty programme (e.g. due to a change of operator), no more points can be collected for any stays and transactions at this hotel after the withdrawal, regardless of when the booking was made. As soon as the hotel has withdrawn from the loyalty programme, points can no longer be redeemed for bookings with this hotel made for after the hotel’s withdrawal. However, if points have already been redeemed for bookings that have already been made for after the withdrawal, this redemption shall remain unaffected and will not be rescinded (except in the event of a cancellation in accordance with Section 6.3).

6.2 A cash payout for points is not possible.

6.3 Re-crediting of redeemed points in the event of cancellation or a no-show
If the booking for which points were redeemed is cancelled, the points will be returned in full and will retain their original validity for 24 months from the date of earning. Conversely, in those cases in which no free cancellation was possible, the member must also pay the part of the cancellation costs for which a reduction in the invoice amount was previously intended by redeeming points. At the express request of the member, there is the option of paying cancellation costs in full or in part with the points balance, depending on the number of points. The above regulations apply accordingly in the event of a member's unannounced no-show.
