As a preferred client, Assured Travel will always try to accommodate your first date choice. Top Is there an additional cost to bring extra guests? Each offer will allow 2 adults, over the age of 25 pre-paid accommodations in one room. If you desire to bring additional guests please inform your reservationist. Additional guests can be added to your reservation at a discounted price; however it will also be based on space availability. Top Is there an additional cost to bring my children? Most hotels allow children under the age of 12 to stay complimentary. However, each hotel and destination differs, so please contact your reservationist for details. Top How can you give away so many free nights? Through our extensive resources in the travel industry, Assured Travel has negotiated contracts with hotels in the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. Our promise to these hotels is to introduce credit worthy adults to new destinations and hotels with hopes that you, the traveler will return to them in the future. Top How do you determine what percentage off I will get for the cruise certificate? Discounted rates vary, depending upon category, ship, itinerary, and season you select. Assured Travel will always do our best to provide you with the most cost effective itinerary. An agent will work with you to secure the best discount possible. Top Where are we going to stay? All accommodations will be confirmed into a standard hotel such as: Holiday Inn, Clarion Suites, Days Inn, Ramada, etc. Some destinations offer resort upgrades for a minimal or no monetary fee. Top Why do both travelers have to be over the age of 25 for the Accommodations and All-Inclusive Travel sections? To receive the tremendous rates, the hotels and resorts require that only mature adults occupy these rooms. As a result of our agreements we are able to offer these rooms to you at no cost other than the government imposed taxes. Top How much will the extra nights cost? Each destination and hotel differs. However, as a Holiday Passports Silver owner you can always expect to receive discounted rates from all destinations contained in Holiday Passports Silver. Top Can I talk to an agent prior to registering my certificate? We prefer that before speaking with an agent at Assured Travel that you send in your destination request on-line. This will allow the agent to know who they are speaking with and the destination that is requested. Top Can I give these away to my friends and family? Absolutely! Holiday Passports Silver is fully transferable and can be gifted to anyone. Be sure to review the Details of Participation for specifics on the back of each Travel Card. You can go on-line and assign a Passport Check to a family member or friend, or simply fill out a Passport Check with their name and information and note that this is a "gift". Top Will I have the opportunity to talk to my agent before my vacation is finalized? Yes, the Assured Travel agent assigned to your particular request will contact you within 7 days of receipt of you request. We will confirm all information on your request and offer assistance with airfare quotes, rental cars, etc. Once we receive confirmation from the hotel, you will be contacted again to finalize everything. A written confirmation will also be mailed to your home. Top Is the $12.50 per night tax deposit refundable? Your tax deposit will be applied to the government imposed taxes for your stay as noted in the Details of Participation. If the tax deposit exceeds $12.50 per night you will be billed the surplus. If the tax deposit is less than $12.50 per night, you will be credited the difference on your next vacation. If for any reason, something comes up and you wish to cancel your request, your tax deposit is refundable, prior to confirmation. Top What is the maximum retail value of each certificate? Please refer to each Travel Card. The value range, which is determined by destination and season selected is noted on each travel offer.

We will always do our best to accommodate your request and confirm you for the dates and destinations desired. Top What if I don't use a Travel Offer before it expires? Each Travel offer will be extended once it has expired, subject to destination changes. If a destination becomes unavailable, Assured Travel will offer a substitute destination of greater or equal value. Top How far in advance am I required to book my reservations? Each Passport request must be submitted 45-60 days in advance of your departure date. Please refer to the Details of Participation for each Travel offer for the specifics. If you plan to travel during peak season or near a holiday, please make your reservation as early as possible, since each travel offer is based on space availability.
