FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can you offer this?
The reason why we are able to do this is because hotels and resorts rarely experience full occupancy yet they are always open and still have their fixed costs. So what they do is contract with companies like us to give these rooms out to get people to come in to see what they have to offer. When hotels and resorts have empty rooms, they do not make any money and it's a waste of a good room. So when we put someone in their empty rooms, the hotel may have lost the price of the room, it was already empty in the first place, but now they have a customer that might spend more money at their in-house restaurants and shops or even take advantage of their amenities like their spa, casino, room service, etc. They know that if they show you a good time while you are at their property that you'll come back to stay with them in the future the next time you visit their city and maybe even tell a few friends about them. It's a win win for both you and the property.

What does promotional inventory mean?
We make these great programs possible by connecting our customers with travel inventory that we get from our suppliers when they need our help to fill their unsold rooms, airline seats or cruise cabins. This will primarily happen during off peak times of the year or off peaks days for places like Las Vegas. Often promotional inventory for land or air/land programs will be available within 30 days of travel. For cruise lines they often give space further out rather than closer in like the airlines and hotels.
I see that you do not allow travel 7 days before and after a holiday travel. What holidays should we stay away from when selecting travel dates?
Please avoid making plans 7 days before or after a holiday. The major holidays we recognize are as follows: New Years, Martin Luther King Jr Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope this is helpful when scheduling your trips and thank you for your cooperation. When available there will be surcharges.
Can I use this offer for a Special Occasion, like my wedding?
Our products are not intended for spontaneous travel or special occasions. Since you are required to give the travel agency three different travel dates and multiple destinations in most cases we do not suggest that you use this for a special date committed engagement. It is helpful if you are aware that you will need to be flexible to give you the best possible experience.
I was told this was a FREE trip!
Printed on every certificate is "Do not rely upon representations other than what is printed on this certificate or the reservation request form". The statement is printed on the certificates to inform you, the end user, that no matter what you have been verbally told by "whom ever" only the terms and conditions printed on the certificate and the reservation request form can be fulfilled. That disclaimer is to protect you and our company from any misrepresentations and at the same time we are keeping you informed and on notice if you were told something different other than what is printed on the certificate you will have plenty of time to address it with the company or person who issued it to you before there is any unnecessary distress.
Is your company affiliated with the company that gave me this certificate?
No, we are not affiliated, partners or connected with the company that gave you our certificate. It's important that you understand who we are and what we do. We provide discounted travel certificates to thousands of companies in the USA and Canada. The companies that purchase our certificates use them in their marketing and advertising to entice customers to do business with them. They often use them as a "gift for a purchase" or even an enticement to get more people to show up to a seminar or a meeting. Every company that purchases our certificates has agreed to promote them exactly what they are good for. We can only fulfill what is printed on our certificates. If you have been promised a certificate good for something other than what our certificate can offer you may have been given the wrong certificate as this is the case 99% of the time as many companies buy certificates from many companies like us. Please contact the company or person who gave you the certificate and let them know you would like to receive the offer they promised you. Again, we can only fulfill what is printed on our certificates.
