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.
