What Are DesignMyNight Rewards and How Do They Work?
Updated
DesignMyNight rewards are points you earn when you book a table or buy tickets through DesignMyNight, and you can spend those points on future experiences on the same platform. The mechanic is simple: make a reservation or purchase tickets directly through DesignMyNight, collect reward points, then redeem them against later bookings. This applies to both table reservations and ticket purchases made through the site, so it functions as a booking incentive rather than a standalone loyalty programme you sign up for separately.
How the rewards system works
The flow has three stages:
- Book or buy through DesignMyNight. You need to complete the reservation or ticket purchase on DesignMyNight itself — not by calling the venue directly or booking through another platform.
- Earn reward points. Points are credited for eligible bookings and ticket purchases.
- Spend points on future experiences. Accumulated points can be put toward later bookings on the platform.
The key condition is the channel: the booking has to happen through DesignMyNight for the points to apply. If you reserve directly with a bar, restaurant, or club, that transaction sits outside the rewards system.
What counts toward rewards
| Activity | Earns points? |
|---|---|
| Booking a table through DesignMyNight | Yes |
| Buying event or club tickets through DesignMyNight | Yes |
| Booking directly with the venue | No |
| Booking through a third-party platform | No |
Why DesignMyNight uses rewards
DesignMyNight positions itself as a discovery and booking guide covering bars, pubs, restaurants, club nights, and experiences across the UK, Ireland, Australia, and America. Rewards give users a reason to complete the booking on the platform rather than using it purely for research and then booking elsewhere. For you as a user, that means the value of the rewards depends on how often you book through DesignMyNight — occasional users accumulate points slowly, while regular bookers get more chances to redeem.
Practical things to check before relying on rewards
- Confirm the booking is made through DesignMyNight. The points only attach to transactions completed on the platform.
- Check whether the specific venue or event is eligible. Not every listing necessarily carries the same rewards treatment, so verify at the point of booking.
- Track your balance. Since points are spent on future experiences, it helps to know what you have before your next booking so you can apply them.
- Treat rewards as a bonus, not the main reason to book. The primary value of DesignMyNight is finding and reserving venues; rewards are an add-on to that.
Who this suits
Rewards make the most sense if you already use DesignMyNight to find bars, restaurants, and events and tend to book through the site. If you usually book directly with venues, the rewards system won't apply to those transactions, and the points won't accumulate.
