Vacation Fundraising was hassle free and was a great addition to our Comedy Night fundraiser, adding an additional $2300 to our fundraising total. This easy addition to our show put us over our goal for the night and the bidders were very happy with their selections. I would certainly use them again for a quick and easy fundraiser.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to take a timeshare presentation in order to take advantage of your vacation packages?
Great question. No, we hate timeshares! You will NEVER be required to attend any sales or timeshare presentation. These are real, top quality Resorts with no hidden fees or strings attached.
Can I book before the required 30 day advance notice on the travel certificates?
These do not work for last minute bookings. Customer must book with a minimum of 30 days advance notice prior to prefered or selected check in dates. So as long as you are booking more than 30 days out we can fulfill based on availability of course. The properties that we work with release their unoccupied inventory to us daily with 30 days out, so there is no way around this. Remember, we are filling otherwise empty rooms for the participating properties and this is the time frame that they use to project what their occupancy will be. Based on what their projection is will determine how many allotments they can provide to us for these promotions. The one exception is when and if available if you agree to an upgrade that requires a resort preview, we may be able to get you in with less than 30 days advance notice.
Do the certificates have an expiration date?
Yes, our digital certificates created will be assigned an expiration date 7 days out from the date it is sent out. Please note that the expiration date shown on the digital certificates only pertains to the actual activation of the certificate. After you activate a vacation certificate, you will have at least 18 months to travel. To activate, you simply need to pay the daily taxes and fees that correspond to the certificate. This can be done by phone or online by paying the taxes associated with the vacation package. (Up to $19.70 per night)
Can I resell this vacation package?
No. You may not. Reselling or bartering the certificates will cause us to void the certificate. This will violates our terms, conditions, and agreements. The agreements we maintain with our hotel and resort companies prevent us from competing against or jeopardizing their published rack rate. If you were able to sell these certificates, there would be no way to prevent a member from selling our certificates directly to the end user, thereby creating competition and lowering our partner properties’ published rates. So they cannot be sold or bartered for services in anyway.
Are there any other fees or expenses/costs for me?
The recipient of this vacation package will receive 4 days 3 nights luxury hotel accommodation room rate free of charge, which retail is valued at up to $195 per night, in the US and up to $300 per night in Mexico, however recipient is responsible for all other expenses including but not limited to: airfare, transfers, food & beverages, gratuities, resort fees if applicable, and any other personal or miscellaneous expenses.
Resort fees are common place in the travel industry. As a matter of fact, over 96% of tourists traveling to Orlando or Las Vegas now have to pay a resort fee when they check in at the resort. This is so common now that it’s just expected for any seasoned traveler.
Thailand properties do not have a resort fee.

Spain properties do not have a resort fee.

Resort fees cover items like: WiFi Internet Access, Local Calls, Resort Amenities,

Fitness Centers, In-room Safes, Beach Chairs, Umbrellas, Beach/pool towels, activities and more.

Can I cancel the activation and get my money back?
This certificate activation is FINAL & NON-REFUNDABLE unless you purchased Trip Guard. If Trip Guard insurance was purchased, you may cancel anytime up and until you have confirmed travel dates. If Trip Guard was declined, you will have a store credit to use your vacation dollars toward any hotel or resort of their choice within our website.

Once dates are confirmed with the certificate no changes will be allowed. Cancellations after dates are confirmed will result in forfeiture of the activation fees. (The inventory used for these rooms are not as flexible as booking at retail rack rates, once confirmed changes will not be allowed and cancellations or no shows will result in forfeiture of fees paid)

What are the upgrade options that will be offered to me & will I be forced to upgrade?
We will offer you some additional incentives and savings you might want to consider.
You are never obligated to upgrade, these are just options to further your vacation package enhancement.
How can I bid on these vacation packages at such incredibly low donation fees?
We simply fill otherwise empty rooms which the hotels and resorts turn into additional revenue from these new additional consumers spending money on the property, such as room service, spa, in-house restaurants, bar purchases, casino and extra day stay, etc.

In addition you will be offered additional incentives and upgrades that you can choose to accept or decline. These additional incentives will save you from $500 to $1500 that will include a discovery tour of the property to introduce you to the benefits of resort membership or ownership. However, you will NEVER be required to upgrade.

Since we fill the empty rooms for the hotels & our fees are very minimal, we are able to keep costs down thus donating more money towards your favorite fundraiser or charity.

When will I receive my vacation package certificate & what if I don’t receive it?
Once donation is received, you will receive an email from us within 24-48 hours with your vacation certificate ready to be redeemed. Please keep in mind, this certificate MUST be activated within 7 days of being sent.

If you do not receive this in your email, please check your spam folder. Many times with yahoo & gmail accounts, if they do not recognize an email, It may end up in spam. So please check your spam folder before panicking.

If you’ve checked your email & your spam folder, simply email us at solutions@vacationfundraising.org and we will cancel the old certificate & send you a new one.

Please note, once activated (within 7 days) you will have 18 months to plan any travel arrangements. No rush!

How many certificates can I activate?
You can activate each individual vacation certificate once. So for example, you can use the Mexico vacation to one of the destinations once or you can use One of the U.S. destinations once. This means you can take advantage of one U.S. and one Mexico vacation.
Do I get to choose my hotel?
We promote specific properties with each certificate destination. For Example, currently we are offering Westgate Resorts in both Orlando and Las Vegas. However If the property we promote is not avail we may give you other choices you can pick from. Keep in mind that these are promotional offers that we provide you with significant savings on your travel so it’s not going to work the same way as going to www.hotels.com and paying full rack rate where you get to choose the hotel. With us, the properties that we work with and that participate in these promotional offers release the unoccupied inventory to us just 30 days ahead of time.
Can I travel with my children?
The short answer is YES. The U.S. resort options will include up to 4 people in the room regardless of age except for our resort in Branson Mo the studio included is for up to 2 adults.
For the Mexico offers, you can travel with 2 adults and up to 2 children up to the ages of 12 or under. If traveling with extra adults or children, upgrades may be available to accommodate depending on availability. Upgrades require the purchase of additional rooms or larger suites which may not always be available. Prices for additional children etc. depend on room availability and seasonality so prices cannot be quoted until travel dates are selected. These vacation packages are designed for couples or small families. More than 4 persons will be harder to accommodate with these packages and in some cases, will not be possible.
Are flights included in these vacation packages?
No the flights are not included. The recipient of this certificate is responsible for all expenses including but not limited to: airfare, transfers, food, gratuities, and any other miscellaneous expenses. This certificate cannot be combined with any other promotional vacation offer.
Is there an age limit & any special requirements I need to be aware of?
The resorts are requiring that atleast 1 person in the party be over the age of 21 for the U.S. resort promotions and 1 person must be over the age of 30 for the Mexico offers and have a passport to travel, they must also have a valid major credit card to check into the Mexico resorts.
1 person must be over the age of 21 when traveling to Bali, or Thailand.

For our U.S. resort offers, you must also have a Major credit or a bank debit card with Visa or mastercard logo plus valid government issued ID to check in. Certificate users must also reside at least 100 miles away from the participating resort. So for example, a resident of Orlando cannot use the Orlando stay but instead could use the Las Vegas hotel stay.
