In the case of fraud or abuse involving RediCard reward use or an individual's stay at a participating hotel, Red Roof Inn has the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including but not limited to, the cancellation of the individual's membership and the forfeiture of all points and certificates earned through the RediCard program.
