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.

Can I cancel?

If you have not already sent in a registration form you could pass the form along to a friend or family member to take advantage of it. Once the travel agency purchases accommodations for you and you need to cancel for any reason, any deposits or fees you paid for the room would be forfeited by you and are non-refundable.

Do I get to pick the property?

No, but you do get to pick the travel dates. We cannot promise you a specific brand of hotel since all of our inventory is based upon availability and we do not know which hotels we will have available at the time we start to search our inventory for your requested travel dates and destinations. Keep in mind that we will not work with any properties that have less than a 3 star rating by other travelers on www.tripadvisor.com. This is a website where actual travelers go onto to put their reviews of hotels and resorts they have stayed at. The last thing we want to do is get your hopes up on staying at the Hilton and we end up only having the Holiday Inn available during your requested travel dates. This is why we never promote specific hotel brands to travelers before a booking is made. This way we never have to worry about a traveler getting upset with us for promising a specific brand of hotel. Remember, we make money on re bookings too, so you can be rest assured we will place you in the best property available to us when booking your accommodations.

Two couples could activate two different certificates and request the same dates but there is no guarantee they will both get the exact same dates.

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 “whomever” 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.
