New Year, New Premium Membership Benefits
January Spotlight
We are excited to start out the new year by adding an exceptional travel benefit to our Premium Membership!
According to the projected travel trends of 2023, the average trip will likely be longer in length (between 5 and 7 nights) and travelers are beginning to book in advance again. This is because many can now work from anywhere, and travelers are finally feeling comfortable locking in trips ahead of time. With previously ever-changing travel rules and restrictions during 2020—2022, it often made sense to wait until the eleventh hour to book a trip rather than face disappointment. Now, stability is relatively common again.
What this means for our Exchange Members: To accommodate the traveling wants and needs of our members, complimentary Travel Insurance is now included as a benefit to Premium Membership! You can book ahead with comfort and peace of mind knowing you can cancel your vacations seamlessly if something arises.
When adding Travel Insurance to a vacation, the member may cancel a reservation up to 48 hours prior to the vacation arrival date and receive a full credit for the fee paid and Elite Credits needed to reserve the vacation. The reservation fee and Elite Credits will be applied as a credit to the membership account used to reserve the vacation and must be used within 6-months of the arrival date of the cancelled vacation. Please note: Travel Insurance is not applicable to Access Vacations as well as The Hideaways Club Exchanges, and for any Vidanta Exchange, the member must cancel greater than 30 days from the vacation arrival date to receive a full credit for the fee paid and Elite Credits needed to reserve the vacation. Members are subject to the Club's cancellation policy if there is one.
