FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The following questions and answers are meant to assist your understanding of the TRAVEL CHOICE INTERNATIONAL (hereafter TCI) program.

CONDO REWARDS

HOW MANY RESERVATIONS PER YEAR CAN I MAKE?

You may enjoy as many luxury accommodation reservations per year as you desire based on availability.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAST MINUTE, SELECT, AND PREMIUM CONDOS?

Generally, they are the same luxury accommodations reserved at various lengths of time prior to the arrival date. For example, LAST MINUTE CONDOS are usually within the next 30 days and are priced at $299 - $349 for the entire week. SELECT CONDOS give you a longer window of time to reserve your accommodation and PREMIUM CONDOS allow you true, long term planning of your next vacation. The longer reservation times incur slightly higher weekly rates; however, they are always priced at incredible savings!

CAN I MAKE MY CONDO RESERVATION ONLINE?

Yes, all availability is in real time and can be reserved online or you may call the TCI hotline and speak with a live vacation counselor.

HOTEL REWARDS

CAN I USE REWARD DOLLARS TO TOTALLY PAY FOR THE ROOM?

No. Hotel reward dollars are utilized as a greatly reduced rate available to members only. For example, if the lowest rate available to the public is $125 and there is $40 hotel reward dollars accepted, then the net cost would be only $85. The $40 will be deducted from your hotel reward balance.

CAN UNUSED HOTEL REWARD DOLLARS ACCUMULATE FROM YEAR TO YEAR?

No. Hotel reward dollars are good for one year from the enrollment date. Upon the annual renewal of your membership, your hotel rewards account is replenished with a new balance of up to $3000 for the upcoming year.

CAN I RESERVE HOTELS WITH MY REWARD DOLLARS ONLINE?

Definitely, just have your credit card available, see how much money you will save on a nightly basis and make the reservation. All arrangements are made online and NOT directly with the hotel. You always have the option to call the TCI hotline and speak with one of our friendly vacation counselors.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO SAVE ON HOTELS THAT ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE HOTEL REWARDS PROGRAM?

Absolutely! Just call the TCI hotline and we will negotiate the lowest available rate on your behalf. Generally, this will not be necessary as literally thousands of hotels worldwide participate in the hotel rewards program.   

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I HAVE TO MAKE MY RESERVATION?

Some hotels require a few days advance notice, but most hotels can be reserved the same day that you want to check in.

AIRLINE AND CAR RENTALS

DO I BOOK AIRLINE AND CAR RENTALS DIRECT OR ONLINE?

No. Simply call the TCI hotline and we will handle all the arrangements for you. Remember, we have the price match guarantee on airline tickets.

CRUISES

I SEE THE CRUISE PACKAGES AND THE AVAILABLE CRUISE REWARD DOLLARS. CAN I BOOK ONLINE OR DIRECT?

No. Just call the TCI hotline and we will handle all your arrangements and answer any questions about your trip.

MY MEMBERSHIP

IS MY TCI MEMBERSHIP TRANSFERRABLE?

Absolutely! For a nominal $250 administration fee, you can transfer, will, or sell your membership anytime.

CAN I LET OTHER PEOPLE USE MY TCI MEMBERSHIP?

Only members are allowed the privileges of TCI; however, guests are always welcome to accompany you.

WHAT IS THE ANNUAL INVESTMENT ACTIVATION FEE?

It is a nominal $99 per year. This occurs on the anniversary date of your enrollment. Upon your renewal, we automatically deposit up to $3000 hotel reward dollars into your account. A couple of night's savings in hotels should equal the annual fee!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO ACTIVATE MY MEMBERSHIP?

It generally takes 15 days from the time of receipt of all required funds. All financial transactions must be made to TRAVEL CHOICE INTERNATIONAL. TCI DOES NOT accept responsibility for any funds directed to a third party.

HOW LONG IS MY MEMBERSHIP GOOD FOR?

As long as your membership stays activated on a yearly basis, your benefits will be available to you.

We hope that these questions and answers have given you a better understanding of the TRAVEL CHOICE INTERNATIONAL program. Always feel free to ask the associate that introduced you to us any questions that may come up, or email us directly at info@travelchoiceint.com. Please DO NOT call the TCI hotline with general questions, as this will prohibit our vacation counselors from helping a member who is trying to make travel plans.

TRAVEL CHOICE INTERNATIONAL truly appreciates your patronage and hopes that you will experience a long life of memorable vacations. It is a BIG, EXCITING WORLD out there! By joining our family of satisfied members, you have secured the vehicle which will let you turn your dreams into reality!
