Cheap Travel Does Not Mean You're Giving Up Comfort or Luxury! ®
2009 Think you can't travel in a bad economy? Or think you can't maintain the same luxurious hotel standards, and you would wind up in a roach-infested flea bag? For years people have used coupons
for grocery shopping. There are even websites and "coupon gurus" that
teach you how to buy groceries with coupons and spend only a few dollars for
a weeks groceries. Grocery coupons have become much more popular in
the bad economy, but I predict "coupon shoppers" will still be coupon
shoppers even when the economy turns around. In a good or bad economy
why spend unnecessary money on travel. Cruise Lines: You may
get a big reduction or up-grade in your accommodations by being one of the
first to book your cruise before the sail date. You may also get an up-grade or big price
reduction by booking at the last minute. Again, if something happens,
you'll probably lose all or a partial of the money you paid without trip
insurance. Certificates: Issued by cruise lines, hotels/resorts, airlines, theme parks, gas companies, etc. You may have seen or used these certificates/coupons/vouchers. They come "piggy-backed"...or "ride-along" with your credit card statements, utility bills or other mailings. They are "so named" because it costs nothing extra to add them to the envelopes that are already being mailed to customers. A major advantage to certificates/coupons/vouchers is that the issuer grants a longer time to use them. Depending on the company issuing them, you usually have one or two years...sometimes longer to use them. Having NO set travel date on them, makes them a wonderful gift! Everyone loves to travel, so the person receiving the gift can choose their own travel date. Also since you have no set date required to use them, you may schedule and reschedule your vacation (if something happens -and you can't go) instead of losing your money. NO travel insurance needed. Quite simply- Certificates are Unsold Space, Unsold Cabins, Unsold seats etc. Example: If you owned a cruise line, would you rather have all of the cabins booked before you sail? After all, when the ship pulls away from the dock, they're not going to fill the rest of their cabins. The fare of the cruise ship is not the only consideration. People spend millions of dollars on extra things on the ship that are not included in the basic fare. Such as gambling, the hair salon, alcohol, souvenirs etc. And remember- the cruise line still has to pay all of the employees aboard ship whether or not the ship is full. The same thing goes for hotels and
resorts. Most hotels and resorts have a 30% vacancy rate even in good
times-barring conventions. With a certificate you often get to stay
FREE or for a greatly reduced rate (60% off). What could the hotel
owner possibl
The majority of the hotels, cruise
lines, and resorts we're referring to are Nationwide brands 3 and 4
star, and even luxury 5 star accommodations. Over the past few years, we have packaged our certificates in colorful, "fancy" folders and sent them out either by FedEx or the U S Postal service. You received your "travel documents" package in a couple of days, plus there was a shipping fee. All this packaging and shipping involved a higher cost to you. Our "new" method will save us a lot of time and expense; therefore, we'll pass the savings along to you! We have greatly reduced most of our prices (not all of them) and we're going to have them available for immediate down-load on our website-your computer. As soon as PayPal notifies us of your payment (usually about 10-15 minutes, we will email your certificate to you, and you can print it out yourself. You can redeem your certificate immediately (if you wish) or redeem it later. You may redeem it on-line, by FAX or mail it in. We take ALL of the major credit cards. Visa, Master, Discovery, American Express, and PayPal. It matters not if it is a charge or debit card. Some people have even used Prepaid Gift Cards. If you wish to send a money order, we will still have to take your order by phone, and we will ship your package our usual old way. We trust that we will be able to accommodate everyone!
We hope this new system is cheaper, faster and easier for you. |
