What is this FAQ primarily for?
This FAQ is specifically designed for our Vacation Incentive Package, one of our “flagship” products here at travelvacationvouchers.com. Other FAQs are “targeted” towards our other products. If you are specifically interested about our Vacation Incentive Package, then read this FAQ, as it might answer some (or all) of your pertinent questions regarding our Vacation Incentive Package.
What does the Vacation Incentive Package look like?
The Vacation Incentive Package actually comes in the form of a Rack Card, which looks like the one shown on the right. Actual size is 3 ½ inches by 8 ½ inches. Each rack card is full-color, printed on 12-point card stock paper, giving it a thickness that is similar to postcard paper. You may download an actual .PDF copy of our Vacation Incentive Package rack card here. To download .PDF files of our other incentive packages, just click on the menu item called PDF Library on the menu bar shown at the top of this page.
What are the very important terminologies that I should be familiar with when choosing the Vacation Incentive Package from travelvacationvouchers.com?
You need only to be familiar with a single term, and it’s actually a ‘date’:
Activation Date: The date by which time your recipient/“End User” (i.e., the person who will be the one enjoying the vacation) MUST have mailed back their Activation Forms in order to ‘activate’ their vacation, which will occur 60 days after that.
What’s this ‘Travel Planning Delay’, and what’s this ‘Time to Activate’ things? Are they different from the Activation Date?
They are one and the same. You see, we ask our “Guests” or “End Users” (i.e., the persons who will be the ones actually enjoying the vacation) to ‘give’ us a 60-day ‘notice’ so we can ‘arrange’ their travel. This gives us a chance to see in advance how ‘full’ the hotels will be by the time of the actual travel (which will be referred to in some questions below as the “Arrival Date” or “Check-in Date”). So if you really ‘must be there’ at a particular vacation spot on a certain date, then tell us at least 60 days in advance of that date.
When I looked at the FAQ for the Employee Motivation Program, there were two other ‘important’ dates that were mentioned, namely the ‘Date of Issue’ (or ‘Issue Date’) and the ‘Expiration Date’. Don’t these two ‘apply’ here too?
No. Those two ‘dates’ are non-existent here, so they don’t ‘apply’ here. You see, we ‘designed’ the Vacation Incentive Package to be a less-expensive and less-‘restrictive’ form of rewards package/program, so there’s no “Expiration Date”, so to speak. ‘Buyers’ of our Vacation Incentive Package may ‘give’ them to their clients/customers, for example, and the latter may ‘use’ their free vacation anytime (subject to the 60-day ‘Activation period’, however), whether on the same year that it was ‘given’ to them or two or five years after. Now, since there is no “Expiration Date”, then there’s no point of ‘keeping track’ of the “Date of Issue” (or “Issue Date”), either. Hence, the only ‘important’ date the “Guest” or “End User” should consider is the “Activation Date”, which refers to the 60-day ‘Activation period’ that we ‘ask’ from our “End Users”.
OK, I understand now. But I’m quite curious: is this Vacation Incentive Package exclusively ‘designed’ for clients/customers only, or are they ‘good’ for employees too?
Yes, you can ‘give’ this package/program to clients/customers (which would constitute as our recommended ‘target’ recipients), but you could potentially ‘give’ this package/program to employees too, especially if you don’t “reward” them that often. You see, the important distinction between this package and the Employee Motivation Program is that this ‘package’ is a less-expensive and less-‘restrictive’ BUT single-use ‘package’ only, whereas the Employee Motivation Program is a more-expensive, more-‘restrictive’ BUT multiple-use ‘program’.
Say, for example, you have clients/customers who are not what you would characterize as extremely-loyal, ‘repeat’ clients/customers and you want to “reward” them every once in a while only, then we would recommend that you ‘use’ this (i.e., our Vacation Incentive Package). Ditto with employees; say, for example, you would want to “reward” your employees every once in a while only, then we still would recommend that you ‘use’ this package only. But if you are thinking along the lines of repeatedly rewarding fanatically-loyal, ‘frequent’ clients/customers or highly-motivated employees (or if you’d like to ‘implement’ a ‘motivation/rewards’ system among your workforce to ‘turn’ them into highly-‘productive’, ultra-motivated, ‘miracle’ workers), then we’d recommend that you look into our Employee Motivation Program. It can be used to repeatedly “reward” clients/customers too, even if its name doesn’t seem to indicate so.
OK. Now, how many packages do I have to purchase?
We didn’t ‘set’ a minimum number of incentive packages that you need to purchase, and we didn’t ‘set’ a maximum number either. You can buy as few or as many packages as you want.
How many people can make use of a package? Is a package good for one person only?
No, it’s not good for only one, but it’s good for two (2) adults past the age of 21. But if the “End User” is traveling with additional adults/children, an ‘additional’ fee of $25 per night per additional child/adult (regardless of age) must be paid at the time the “End User” submits his/her Arrival Date.
What are the vacation ‘destination’ cities we can possibly choose?
Currently, the following cities comprise the vacation ‘destinations’ you can choose from: Anaheim (CA), Atlantic City (NJ), Branson (MO), Cancun (MX), Charleston (SC), Daytona Beach (FL), Gatlinburg (TN), Hilton Head (SC), Honolulu (HI), Lake Tahoe (NV), Las Vegas (NV), Mazatlan (MX), Myrtle Beach (SC), New Orleans (LA), Niagara Falls (NY), Orlando (FL), Palm Springs (CA), Pocono Mountain (PA), Puerto Vallarta (MX), Reno (NV), San Antonio (TX), and Williamsburg (VA).
We are still considering other cities for inclusion, but take note that the contents of this list may vary (we reserve the right to modify the contents of this list anytime) from time to time, depending on hotel ‘booking’ conditions and other factors.
What is the name of the hotel where I will be staying?
Actually, there are several participating hotels involved in this ‘promotion’. In Las Vegas, for example, the number one destination, all accommodations are booked at one of several major hotel casinos. In other cities, hotels such as Clarion, Comfort Inn, Crowne Plaza, Fairmont, Hampton Inn, Harrahs, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Howard Johnson, Quality Inn and Suites, Ramada, Red Carpet, Sheraton, Wyndham, and many others are also participating in this ‘promotion’. The booking agent you will be assigned to will book your room at one of the participating hotels. The idea is, you choose the destination, we assign you the hotel.
These ‘participating’ hotels are obliged to maintain high hospitality standards, so it is always in their best interests to keep you satisfied, so that you will later return as a paying customer if you are satisfied with their service. The possibility of you returning is what’s at stake for them, and they will move heaven and earth to ensure that you will have an enjoyable stay in their place.
Are there any additional costs that the traveler will incur?
Actually, this ‘package’ covers the hotel accommodations only and does not include airfare, transportation, meals and all other miscellaneous expenses.
Upon check-in, hotels will require an imprint of a major credit card to cover such costs. “Guests” or “End Users” are required to pay Room Tax (this is a government regulation for all travel incentive packages out there), but in this ‘promotion’, the recipient needs to pay a Room Tax of just $23.95. This, along with the $12 Activation Fee is the only accommodation-related cost associated with this incentive package, unless of course the “End User” ‘brings’ with him/herself additional adults or children. As mentioned earlier, if traveling with additional adults and/or children, for example, the additional fees are $25 per night per additional child or adult (regardless of age) and must be paid at the time the “End User” submits his/her desired vacation date (or Arrival Date).Any and all changes and cancellations are subject to a $25 fee.
What is the retail value of these packages?
Well, it all depends on the time of year of the travel and on the location, hotel availability, accommodations, etc., but the approximate retail value of the accommodations involved in these packages is anywhere between $110 and $674.
What’s the ‘catch’?
No catch. Just good, old-fashioned value and honesty with no catches. We provide value and a fair price. You see, we are travel ‘wholesalers’. We buy the unused ‘inventory’ at various hotels and resorts. See, as you probably know, hotels and resorts never operate at full capacity; most of them have vacant rooms and ‘unbooked’ vacation properties. Our system ‘works’ by buying these unbooked vacation inventories and ‘passing’ the savings directly onto you. Hotels and resorts ‘win’ by filling unused inventory, you ‘win’ by using vacation incentive packages to retain loyal customers (or attract ‘new’ ones), generate leads, or perhaps motivate your employees as well, and your customers and employees ‘win’ by receiving a ‘free’ vacation. So everybody wins!
However, we only allow a very limited number of hotels and resorts into our program, so that this exclusivity gives us the power to negotiate the best deals for you. We kind of ‘squeeze’ the best rates out of each hotel or resort like our lives depended on it, because if you’re not happy, then we might as well throw in the towel.
Our reputation and financial future rests on providing you a quality product. We simply cannot compromise on this. We believe that if you like our products, you will recommend them to friends and family. Word-of-mouth advertising works great. We have been in business since 1998 and have witnessed many companies come and go, but we’re here for the long haul, and we’re here for you. If there are some features/conditions in our ‘products’ that you find undesirable (or that they should be changed/modified), please let us know so we can serve you better.
