Redeeming a Mews Gift Voucher means applying its value toward a guest’s bill. Front office employees redeem vouchers when a guest uses a Mews Gift Voucher to pay for part or all of their stay or other services. This action takes place during check out or while settling the bill in Mews Operations. Redeeming the voucher deducts the amount from the bill and records it in the property’s financial reports.
ⓘNote:
- You can redeem vouchers only in Mews Operations. Mews currently does not support voucher redemption through the Booking Engine.
- The Redeem button appears only on open bills. It does not appear in the Unpaid or Deposit section.
