However, the exact points requirement for a free night varies by hotel and seasonality.
Earn Points
As a Leaders Club member, you'll earn one point for every dollar spent on eligible room rates. You can earn points for up to three rooms per stay. In order for your stays to qualify for Leaders Club points, you must make your reservation through the LHW website, a LHW reservations representative or with a travel agent who provides your Leaders Club member number at the time of booking.
