(a) Each Member is responsible for ensuring that Rex Flyer Rewards Points are properly credited to his or her Rex Flyer Account. To earn Rex Flyer Rewards Points, Members must quote their name and Membership number as per the Rex Flyer account records when booking an Eligible Sector flight on Regional Express.

Rex Flyer Rewards Points will not be awarded (and may be deducted from Members' Rex Flyer Accounts) for cancellations made by or on behalf of the Member or refunded products. Where the cancellation is as a result of Regional Express's own internal operational reasons, Regional Express may, in its absolute discretion, choose to award, or not award the subject Rex Flyer Rewards Points, depending upon the circumstances.
(c) In cases where Regional Express deems verification is required, Regional Express reserves the right to require proof of earning from the Member, including copies of e-ticket itineraries and/or original boarding passes from Eligible Sector flights or copies of receipts proving purchase of Eligible Sectors flights.
(d)Regional Express may, in its absolute discretion, award Rex Flyer Rewards Points for Eligible Sectors booked by a Member prior to applying to become a Member of Rex Flyer but flown after the Application Date.

(e) Any discrepancies in respect of Rex Flyer Rewards Points must be brought to the attention of the Regional Express Service Centre via email at membership@rex.com.au by the Member within six (6) months of the applicable flight or transaction. No amendments will be made after this period. Regional Express will not entertain any requests for retroactive crediting of points under any circumstances not due to the direct negligence of Regional Express if Clause 5.1(a) is not fulfilled.
The Member agrees Regional Express will be the final arbiter in any dispute between them.
(f) Rex Flyer Rewards Points cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise redeemed (whether for valuable consideration or otherwise) except in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

(a) One Rex Flyer Reward Point will be accrued for each Eligible Sector actually flown by the Member. Return flights are counted as two (2) Eligible Sectors earning the Member double the Rex Flyer Rewards Points.
(b) Subject to paragraph below, upon a Member accruing nine (9) Rex Flyer Rewards Points, Regional Express will award the Member with one Rex Flyer Reward Flight.

5.3 Rex Flyer Rewards Points Validity
