Introduction to Advantage

Your Advantage Account offers you an overview of your account balance and ingoing and outgoing points. Make sure you keep your Account balance above 0 to maintain full booking abilities.

Accessing your Advantage Account

1. Log into omega.omega365.com
2. You will find an overview of your account on the tab Advantage.

Account Balance

Your Account Balance is shown on your Advantage, and represents the Advantage points at your disposal at any time. Your account balance determines your booking abilities in Team Events and on the Advantage Accommodation calendar. To see all transactions on your Advantage Account you must click on Include all Transactions.

Points

In the Advantage program you use your points to sign up for Team Events and book Advantage Holiday Houses. Advantage points are non-transferrable and non-refundable.

Base points

You will receive points every month you earn salary through Omega AS or a subsidiary company of Omega AS. Base points will be automatically paid into your Advantage Account on the last day of the current month.

Bonus Points

You can receive bonus points through the completion of Advantage Activities. Bonus points will be automatically paid into your account following the successful completion of an Advantage Activity. 

Point validity

Your Advantage points remain valid for the duration of your employment with Omega AS or a subsidiary company. If you quit, your account balance will be frozen for a period of five years. If you rejoin the company during this five-year period you will regain your former account balance.

If you leave

• Your Advantage account is available as long as you are an employee. If you decide to leave, your account balance will be frozen for a period of five years.
• Unfortunately, if you leave you cannot participate in our Advantage offers (teambuildings and accommodations) after end date, even if you have made a booking or signed up when employed.
• Your signups and bookings will then be terminated, but the points will be reversed to your account, and you may use them on new Advantage offers if you come back to the company.
• Unfortunately, your Advantage account will not be available if you return to the company as a hired consultant.

Booking Calendar

The booking calendar allows users to make bookings up to 12 months in advance and is divided into two time periods:

Unlimited booking period (0-6 months from today’s date)

In the unlimited booking period you can make as many bookings as you like across all the properties.

Limited booking period (6-12 months from today’s date)

In the limited booking period you can make only one booking across all the properties.

The booking calendar is color coded:

• Blue - dates booked by you
• Orange - dates booked by others users
• White - dates available to be booked
• Grey - dates that are unavailable to be booked

Prime booking periods

The prime booking periods are Christmas and Easter holidays. You are limited to one booking in the prime booking periods every 12 months. If you have booked one of our mountain accommodations for a prime booking period, you will not be able to make a new booking for this period during the next 12 months. This only applies to our mountain accommodations.

Booking duration

All properties have a maximum and minimum stay limit. These limits are published in each property’s own article on omega365.com. The Booking Overview calendar will notify you during the booking process if you attempt to book too many or too few nights.

Number of bookings

Please note that one person is not allowed to book two apartments/cabins at the same time.

First come, first served booking system

Participants are confirmed on a first come, first served basis.

Booking cost

Omega 365 Holiday House bookings are made at a nightly rate. Therefore, the cost of your accommodation will be the nightly rate for the period in which you are booking, multiplied by the number of nights you are staying.

The standard nightly rate for each property is also presented on the property’s information page.

The points required for your stay will be displayed on the booking form after you have selected your check-in and check-out dates. Please note that the nightly rate for properties may be higher during busy periods. Changes to the standard nightly rate for a property are at the discretion of Omega 365.

Advantage Account balance required to book

Unlimited booking period (0-6 months from today’s date):

You are required to have 0 points or more in your Advantage Account to be able to book in the unlimited booking period. The booking system will automatically manage your booking abilities, based on your current account balance.

Limited booking period (6-12 months from today’s date):

The Advantage program requires that you have 0 or more points in your Advantage Account in order to book a stay in the limited booking period. The booking system will automatically manage your booking abilities, based on your current account balance.

Booking newly released and re-released accommodation

When a new accommodation offer is released or re-released, each employee will have the opportunity to make only one booking in the 14 days after the property is opened for booking on the Booking calendar. After this time you are welcome to make as many bookings as you wish (within the existing program boundaries).

This measure is in place to ensure that as many team members as possible have the chance to book our new accommodation offers. You will be informed of upcoming accommodation releases on Inside.

Your bookings

You will find an overview of your bookings in Advantage and My Holiday House Bookings on omega.omega365.com.

Cancellation

When you have placed your booking, Advantage points will be deducted from your account immediately. You can cancel your booking yourself:

• Click Cancel booking for your selected booking under My Holidays House Bookings.
• If you book an accommodation you can cancel your booking within one hour after you have made the booking.
• You can book the same house/apartment again within the hour, but if you cancel once more after the one hour time limit, you cannot book the house again until 14 days have passed.

With this limitation we give everyone the same opportunity to book houses without anyone 'freezing' the accommodations ahead of time to secure popular periods of the booking calendar. Points are not refunded for cancellations due to bad weather, closed roads, etc.

Advantage points refund after cancellation

• If you decide to cancel your booking within seven days after you booked it, Advantage points will automatically be refunded.
• If you cancel your booking later than seven days after you booked it, points will only be refunded if, after cancellation, the dates in question are booked by another user.
• If your cancellation is on account of sickness (or similar), please notify Omega 365 so your situation can be taken into consideration.
