No, due to the provisions of GDPR, the hotel’s employees may not register guests for the program; all guests must register by themselves.

Below we present the registration process:

The guest can fill in the registration form by visiting the website www.friends.danubiushotels.com nd clicking the registration button.

Then the guest will receive an e-mail to activate their Danubius Friends account. This is necessary so that no one can misuse the member’s data. Following activation, guests can log in to the Danubius Friends Portal with their e-mail address and password, where, when booking online, they can access discounts corresponding to their membership level.

After registration and identification, members will receive an e-mail containing their membership ID, and their Danubius Friends membership will be active from that moment on (they can find their membership ID at any time on the Danubius Friends Portal). We do not use physical (plastic, paper, etc.) membership cards in this loyalty program.

We have sent an information e-mail about phasing out the Danubius Europoints program and the possibility of re-registration to the Danubius Friends program to all active Danubius Europoints members who have shared their e-mail address with us when registering.

Members of the Danubius Europoints program have received an e-mail from us informing them about the new loyalty program and the possibility of re-registration. They can register for the Danubius Friends program using the link in this e-mail. If the registration is complete within 60 days following this, members who had a Blue or Silver card in the Danubius Europoints program will be added to Friend 2 level, while members with a Gold card will start at Friend 3 level. If registration takes place after 60 days, the Danubius Friends member can start the program at Friend 1 level.

The Danubius Europoints (DEP) loyalty membership program will be terminated, and will be replaced by the Danubius Friends loyalty program. During the so-called transition period, former Danubius Europoints members can re-register for the Danubius Friends program using the email address they previously shared and during this period, they can simultaneously enjoy the benefits of the new program and redeem the points they have previously earned in the Danubius Europoints program but have not yet used. Final deadline for re-registration: 15 August 2025 23:59. 

Points can still be redeemed in the Danubius Europoints program for 270 days from the launch of the new loyalty program. The final deadline for this is 13 March 2026 23:59. While using the Danubius Friends program, points can be used according to the DEP catalogue (for example, one night can be requested if the sufficient number of DEP points is available.) Points not redeemed until 13 March 2026 will be lost. Points cannot be exchanged for cash, and cannot be transferred to the new loyalty program.  No discount applies to point values listed in the DEP points catalogue.

Points can only be redeemed according to the point redemption catalogue, if the member possesses the full point value. Points not redeemed until 13 March 2026 shall be erased, cannot be exchanged for cash, and cannot be transferred to the new loyalty program.

Points will continue to accumulate for 90 days after the start of the new loyalty program, until 14 September 2025 23:59. If the stay exceeds this date, no point is collected for any nights following 14 September, but points will be collected for the nights preceding that date. If the stay begins no later than 14 September, the room upgrade or early check-in and check-out applies to that stay (depending on availability)

The 15% discount and the F&B discounts can be used for 90 days from the start of the new loyalty program (until Friday, 14 September 2025 23:59).

The advantages of the Danubius Silver/Gold card can be used for 90 days from the start of the new loyalty program (until Friday, 14 September 2025 23:59).

No points can be collected in the Danubius Friends program, but in the case of room reservations made with accommodation vouchers we provide the exclusive rewards if the guest is a Discount Program member and has indicated his or her membership in the Danubius Friends program by providing the membership ID when booking.

Amounts spent in the restaurant and on fitness room access do not count in the Danubius Friends loyalty program, only nights spent in the hotels do. These will determine the membership level, as well. 

There is no physical card in the program and no physical card needs to be presented. After joining, we will send the Danubius Friends membership ID. The advantages offered by the program can be claimed any time by providing this number. This virtual card will not be available upon kick-off of the program, but will be made available to guests later.

There is no physical card in the program and there is no PIN code either.
