Refund policies vary by product. Several products — including Wyndham Diamond and Star Alliance Gold — offer full refunds if the upgrade is not approved within the stated timeframe.

Please review the refund policy on each individual product page before purchasing, or contact us if you have questions.

Some products require temporary account access to process the upgrade — this will be clearly stated on the product page. We treat your credentials with complete confidentiality and only use them for the specific upgrade process. You are always advised to change your password after the upgrade is complete. For products like Hilton Gold Status and Wyndham Diamond, no password is required.
