How To Earn Hello Bucks
All Red Lion Hello Rewards members will earn 10 Hello Bucks for every eligible stay at Red Lion brand hotels regardless of how many days you stay at the hotel. So staying 1 day will earn you 10 Hello Bucks and staying 7 days will earn you the same 10 Hello Bucks.
Hello Bucks earned for a stay at a Red Lion Hotel brand will be deposited into your account after check-out, but you'll usually have to wait up to 10 days before you're able to redeem them.
Hello Bucks earned from qualifying stays will be good for six months from the date of issuance, so you do not want to sit on these rewards too long.
Do note that you will only earn Hello Bucks when booking through a participating online travel website, directly with the Hotel, or with RLH. Also note that you can earn Hello Bucks on a reservation in which you applied Hello Bucks to.
