Q: Are
these vacations genuine? How can they do this?
A: Absolutely
genuine. Resorts as well as marketing companies have been selling
similar vacation packages for 25 years, generally selling them for much
higher prices. Nearly all hotels, resorts, cruise lines, etc. have
vacancies on an ongoing basis. They find that participating in
Vacation Package programs is a viable form of "advertising" to
bring in guests - who obviously then spend money in their bars,
restaurants, shops, etc. Then they return home to tell their
friends about the marvelous time they had! Complimentary trips
have long been a mainstay for travel agents. Today, many savvy
travelers use promotional packages such as this for ALL their
vacations, saving thousands each year. After all, who visits an
empty hotel or resort?
Q: Are
there expiration dates on the various offers?
A: The
first two free vacation certificates that come with your package are good
for one year. All the other free vacations are good for one year after the
date you mail in the voucher to activate that particular vacation. The 13
travel discount membership cards that come with your package can be
renewed as a group for only $49.95 per year. Many regular cardholders who
deal directly with the companies we represent pay from $50 to $139 a year
to renew a single card!
Q: Are the
individual vacations and airline discount coupons transferable?
A: YES!! Most families simply could not take advantage of all of these great
vacations, so why not pick the ones you want the most and then share the
rest with family and friends? The membership cards (issued in your name)
are not transferable.
Q: How far
in advance must we make our reservations?
A: Plan
ahead as you would for any major vacation choosing several preferred time
periods. Through your club membership you will also have access to
"shorter notice" trips at huge discounts for cruises, vacations
and condos worldwide that are not sold out.
Q: Are
there restrictions on when we can travel?
A:
Generally speaking, the package vacations will not be available during the
heaviest peak season or major holidays. Most providers will ask you to
submit three choices as to when you’d like to travel - and nearly always
accommodate. With so many available destinations, you should be able to
travel almost anytime you wish.
Q: With
such great bargains, can I resell some of these individual vacations?
A: No. These are promotional vacations and not to be individually resold.
But you
can give away some of the trips to others! You might even
"donate" a vacation to a non-profit organization or school
raffle! If you own a business, reward your best employees! Or use some of
the vacations as incentives to increase sales of big-ticket items.
