This is the most frequently asked question, so it is first
on the list. It's simple. Vacation properties only
fill 60%-70% of occupancies on average. They are willing to offer their
unoccupied rooms to travelers free in hopes of gaining revenue from all the
other activities they offer (food, drink, restaurants, gambling, etc.)
Hotels, airlines and cruise lines would rather make some money then no
money.

Each of our hotel stay certificates is redeemable for a free
3 day, 2 night stay in one of 20 great destinations. No additional purchase
is required, and transportation to and from the hotels is up to the
consumer. We estimate the average retail value of each certificate to
be over $200.
Basic restrictions do apply, but you won't find any boring
timeshare presentations, hidden fees or unfriendly service. To receive
your free 3 day / 2 night stay, we ask that you
follow the following guidelines.
-
You must check in to the hotel on a weekday.
-
You must give 60 days notice prior to taking their
vacation.
-
You must pay a registration fee of either $10, and
state-mandated room taxes between $7-$12 a night (per room, not per
person). No other fees are ever collected.
We pride ourselves on honesty and provide full disclosure of all
restrictions.
Because the travel industry is constantly changing, we do
not publish a list of available hotels. You don't have to worry about going on a less than superior vacation, however - probably the
best way to describe them is that they are hotels that would normally cost
between $70-139 a night. Typical chains include Marriott,
Hampton Inn, Red Roof Inn, Ramada, and other well-known franchises. In Las
Vegas and Atlantic City, we work with major casino hotels to provide a
mini-suite.
-
Are you sure no timeshare presentations are
involved?
The answer is clear: there are no boring timeshare presentations, sales
pitches, no tours, no meetings, business opportunities, or anything
similar.
There are no expiration dates for the certificates. Once
redeemed, the reservation form is good for 1 year. Many other issuing
vendors are much stricter, with expiration dates as early as 90 days after
issue.
Dates near holidays are usually not available. Other than
that, you shouldn't have any problems getting the reservation
you want.
We can't promise that every destination will always be
available at all times, but it's extremely rare when one isn't. We work
with numerous hotels in each destination, so that if one ever drops out of
our program, we have a backup.
A maximum of one per year per city. If you would like to
go to Las Vegas one week, then Honolulu the next, you are welcome to.
State law usually requires consumers to pay taxes on any
stay at a lodging establishment, even if the stay is given away by the
hotel. Taxes range from $7-$12 per night. (That's per room, not per
person.)
None at all. No purchase of airline tickets,
car rentals, restaurant passes, or anything else is required.
