Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

How does Club H10, the loyalty programme for H10 Hotels, work?

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

This is my review of Club H10, the loyalty scheme for H10 Hotels.

H10 Hotels is a Spanish based chain but, as they widen their reach across Europe, you may start to come across them in other cities you visit.

The chain has 67 hotels at present.  H10 has 15 hotels in Barcelona where it is based. It is also strong on the Spanish holiday islands – seven hotels in Tenerife, five hotels in Lanzarote and two in Mallorca.

Outside Spain, you will find them in Berlin, Jamaica, London, Lisbon, Venice, Mexico, Rome and the Dominican Republic.

H10 London Waterloo hotel

The London property – click here for details – is called H10 London Waterloo and is a modern four-star 177 room property on the South Bank.  It is best known for its rooftop Sky Bar, see above.

Can you collect airline miles from H10 Hotels?

No, unfortunately not.  H10 Hotels does not have partnerships with any airlines.  If you find yourself staying with them, the only way to get something back is via joining Club H10.

What does Club H10 offer?

Club H10 has three tier levels – Club H10, Club H10 Class and Club H10 Grand Class.

Full details of the tier benefits can be found on their website here.

The key thing to note is that you should join even if you are only planning a one-off stay.  This is because you will get additional benefits as a Club H10 member:

That is certainly worth having, and a good incentive for booking directly on their website.

Earn 2,000 points – we’ll look at how you do that later – and you become a ‘Class’ member.  This means:

  • Your welcome drink is replaced with a full bottle of cava or wine
  • Your booking gets turndown service with a robe and slippers in your room

Get up to 4,000 points for Grand Class status and you will receive:

  • A free minibar on the day you arrive
  • A lunch or dinner for two at resort hotels
  • 20% off restaurant and bar bills at city hotels

How do you earn Club H10 points?

Club H10 has an earning system which is totally different to any other major hotel loyalty scheme.

The points you earn are based purely on the star level of the hotel:

  • 40 points per night for a 5-star
  • 30 points per night for a 4-star
  • 20 points per night for a 3-star

You earn extra points for your food and drink, minibar and spa spend charged to your room.  You earn 2 points per €3 spent.

This heavily incentivises you to run up large food and drink bills if you want to earn higher status levels.  A one-night stay in a 5-star may only earn 40 points, but spend €100 in the restaurant and you’ll earn an additional 66, taking you to 106 points.  In fact, I struggle to see how anyone could hit 4,000 points for Grand Class status without very high food, drink and spa spending.

You get 100 points for signing up to Club H10 but that doesn’t make a massive difference to how hard it is to earn status.

Points are valid for four years from the date they are earned.

How do you redeem points?

Club H10 is a revenue based redemption programme.

This means that it is a) simple and b) boring, because there are no options to maximise the value of your points by redeeming in expensive cities at peak times.  The upside is that there are no issues with redemption room availability, because all you are doing is getting a discount on a cash room.

100 points gets you €4 off your bill.  You can use all points or a mix of cash and points.

This is very poor, to put it mildly.  You should be looking to get between 7% and 12% of your spending back in reward points from the major global chains, especially if they have promotions running.

With Club H10, you could spend £200 for a night in the 4-star London hotel and get just 30 points if you don’t eat in the hotel.  That is worth just €1.20, roughly 0.5% of what you spend!

Is it worth signing up to Club H10?

Yes.

The real value is not in the points you will earn, which are pretty woeful.  It is in the 5% room discount, the welcome gift and the welcome drink.

You will receive your points anyway, of course, so you might as well take them and – at some point – use them as part payment for a leisure stay.

    How long before they do a deal with Marriott or IHG or Hilton?

    They should probably just ditch the points element and make it straight nights because as you say it’s a pretty woeful redeeming rate and in the past I’ve actually just booked H10 hotels via the online travel agents like hotels.com where I got cash back and 10% towards the free night (I know that’s much less now)

  • JH says:

    They also used to have a scheme (which I think is still running), where you got an additional 10% discount if you made a booking up to 1 month after your birthday

  • PeterV says:

    Another interesting quirk is that the points are earned per adult registered in the room. So for two sharing it’s essentially twice the points. Still doesn’t move the needle, but I don’t know such a setup from anywhere else.
    What I’m unsure about is whether there is a rolling period for tier evaluation (membership year? calendar year?), or whether you just need to collect 2000 or 4000 points before they expire so that you move up a tier.

      Teens count as adults too, so a couple of parents travelling with a couple of 12-17yo’s on a 2-week family holiday can add up. Mind you, you’ve paid adult prices for them in the first place.
      There doesn’t seem to be a rolling period for tier evaluations, or if there is then it’s a very long period. I reached Grand Class after 3-4 family summer holidays, haven’t had to do anything other than return annually to retain it.

        Great data points, thanks Conor! We’re the exact travelling party you’re describing, and have been looking at several of their Canaries properties.
