The my Barceló programme is based on guests attaining exclusive advantages when registering for the programme and making bookings on Barcelo.com and/or with the Customer Service when identifying oneself as a my Barceló guest.
The beneficiaries of the my Barceló programme (hereinafter "the member") are of-age individuals (identified by their personal data) registered on the my Barceló Programme via the www.barcelo.comwebsite or the Barceló Customer Service.

Modifications' of the general terms and conditions.
You are hereby informed that in order to obtain the best conditions and advantages as a company or organisation, you can use our portal for professionals www.barcelopro.com
Bookings made by persons other than the member will not be accumulated in the member's my Barceló account.
The my Barceló guest, as the primary person on the booking and guest during the corresponding stay, is the only person who may benefit from the exclusive advantages of the programme and to whom all communications will be addressed. In a multiple-room booking, the benefits will apply only and exclusively to the room the member is staying in, not applying to the other rooms included in the booking.
Invoices shall be paid with the credit card used in the booking process. If a booking is not pre-paid, payment will be requested from the guest upon arrival at the hotel.
An invoice will not be issued in the name of companies for bookings made by a my Barceló member. In order to issue a company invoice the booking must be made via BarcelóPro.
Each guest participating in the my Barceló programme, can access a private area within Barcelo.com where the corresponding booking transactions made at Barceló.com and via the Customer Service in the last 3 years are stored:
1. The account shall remain permanently active as long as the company does not decide to unsubscribe from the programme.
2. The guest may, at any time, request and obtain voluntary cancellation within the personalised area.
3. Booking movements generated by a guest may not be transferred to the account of another guest.

Bookings are credited to the my Barceló account once the guest has registered for the programme.

If a booking has been generated without previous login or identification in my Barceló, the my Barceló benefits will not be applied during the stay and will not be automatically taken into account in the Programme account for calculating the level. Even so, the registered guest can import to their my Barceló account from booking import taking into account the following specifications:
- You can only import bookings made in Barcelo.com and Barceló and the Barceló Customer Service, with check-out in the last 12 months.
- The booking must relate to a hotel in the current Barceló Hotel Group portfolio.
-The email of the person making the booking must be the same as that of the holder of the my Barceló account you wish to import to.- Flight plus hotel packages and bookings made through other websites, travel agencies or other channels that are not Barceló.com and Barceló Customer Service cannot be imported to your my Barceló account.
· Considerations concerning the bookings added to the my Barceló account:
- If making with the Member's account two or more bookings with consecutive dates in the same hotel (check-out of one booking = check-in of the next one), only one booking will be considered in the Programme's stay counter. However, the total amount spent at the level of the cumulative amount counter will be taken into account.
- If making with the Member's account two or more bookings with the same date in the same hotel, only one booking will be considered in the Programme's stay counter. However, the total amount spent at the level of the cumulative amount counter will be taken into account.
- If making with the Member's account two or more bookings with the same date in different hotels, only one booking will be considered a booking in the Programme's stay counter. However, the total amount spent at the level of the cumulative amount counter will be taken into account.
Barceló Hotel Group will send regular notifications regarding exclusive current personalised offers to all my Barceló programme clients.
There are currently 3 levels of my Barceló membership (effective from 2nd July 2015):
- my Barceló: the base level that applies to a customer upon registration with my Barceló and for their first and second booking made through Barcelo.com and/or the Customer Service. After a second stay within a period of 24 months, the my Barceló customer upgrades to my Barceló Intense. A minimum accumulated expense of €$600 is required to apply upgrading to the Barceló Intense level.
- my Barceló Intense: is the intermediate level which applies to a my Barceló guest’s second stay within a 24-month period (with a minimum expenditure of €$600) and for your third or fourth booking made at Barcelo.com and/or our Customer Service. After the fourth stay within a period of 24 months, the my Barceló Intense customer upgrades to my Barceló Unique. A minimum cumulative spend of €2,000 is required to upgrade from Intense to Unique.
-
my Barceló Unique: This is the top membership level, which applies to a my Barceló member after their fourth stay with us within a 24-month period (with a minimum expenditure of €2,000) and from their fifth booking through Barcelo.com and/or our Customer Service.
Your my Barceló membership level is based on your stays with us that were booked through Barcelo.com and/or through our Customer Service, accumulated over a period of 24 months from 26th March 2015 (all bookings made before this date are not used when calculating the membership level).
In order to qualify for an upgrade to the next level, you must fulfil the minimum expenditure requirement accumulated from that same date.

Only one my Barceló benefits package will be applied per stay, regardless of the number of rooms in the booking. The benefits only apply to the room where the my Barceló account owner is staying.
As a result of the circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Barceló Hotel Group has adapted its operations to comply with recommendations issued by the health authorities and thus some my Barceló loyalty programme benefits may be affected during your stay.
