Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our incentive platform, certificates, memberships, and redemption process.

We partner with hotels, resorts, cruise lines, and product suppliers to help them fill otherwise empty rooms or sell inventory. They gain additional revenue through upsells (food, spa, future bookings). We do not rely on "breakage" and fulfill as many offers as possible.
No. None of our certificates require attending any sales or timeshare presentations.
We have access to over 1 million properties. We don't promote specific brands because bookings are based on availability. We guarantee only 3-star or higher properties (TripAdvisor ratings). Mexico Getaways use Vidanta properties; All-Inclusive stays use Barceló (Occidental), RIU Hotels & Resorts, and Wyndham (Viva by Wyndham) Resorts; cruises often use Royal Caribbean and Carnival.
Our restaurant certificates are partnered with Dine.Restaurant.com. Search participating restaurants there.
