F.A.Q.

F.A.Q.

Do I have to take a timeshare presentation in order to take advantage of your vacation incentives?

Great question.  No, you will never be required to attend any sales or timeshare presentation. These are real, top quality Resorts and Hotels with no hidden fees or strings attached. We own and operate several high volume travel companies and we are simply helping these hotels fill what would otherwise be empty rooms which the hotels and resorts turn into additional revenue from these consumers spending money on the property, such as room service, spa, in-house restaurants, bar purchases, casino and extra day stay, etc.    In addition, we will can offer additional incentives and upgrades that you can choose to accept or decline such as additional nights upgrade room types etc.  These will be optional upgrades  Most upgrades and add ons are simple options such as larger room type bed configurations etc. attraction tickets and more.   You, however, will NEVER be required to upgrade.

We have traveled over 1 million families to date and have contracts with the world’s leading hotel chains, and resorts to help them fill their otherwise empty rooms. We help fill empty rooms which the hotels, resorts turn into additional revenue from other areas of their property and future bookings. Hotels rarely experience full occupancy, yet they remain open, providing rooms and services at fixed costs. So when hotels give out their rooms by partnering with Urban Cultured and RedeemVacations.com, they might miss out on the room fee, but they already didn’t have that in the first place, at least now they have the opportunity to gain a customer for their in-house restaurants, room service, their casinos, an extra day stay, future bookings, etc. The benefit of why our program works so well is the fact that it’s a win-win for everyone involved. The promoted projects win because they gain more business from using our incentives. You win because you received an awesome incentive gift from us. The resorts win because they gain additional revenue from other areas of their establishment that they otherwise would not have been able to get and they also have a new client that may book with them in the future.  Redeem Vacations will also offer additional upgrades and incentives that you can choose to accept or not.

We’re glad you asked.  Here’s how it works.  The hotel savings cards can be offered to anyone anywhere. There are over 1 Million Hotels available to use the savings at, around the world and the end-user can pay in dozens of different currencies.  The Restaurant incentives are only redeemable in the United States and Canada.  Our Complimentary Hotel stay incentives can be used by anyone from any country as long as the destination they are redeeming is at least 100 Miles or 160 kilometers away from the end users residence.  In other words, the end-user or you cannot use a vacation incentive to stay at a hotel in their own city they must be traveling a minimum of 100 miles.    The only exception to this currently for the complimentary hotel stays is Residence of Mexico cannot currently use the Mexico destinations but they can use the Hotel savings cards and they can use any Complimentary Hotel Incentive outside of Mexico.  

No, the resorts we offer for the incentive will not be all-inclusive. The recipient of this incentive is responsible for all expenses including but not limited to: airfare, transfers, food, gratuities, and any other miscellaneous expenses. This incentive cannot be combined with any other promotional vacation offer.

The taxes and fees are based on a few factors, examples include but are not limited to local tourism and bed taxes, value-added tax, sales tax based on the full rack rate of the accommodations, maid service fees, zone surcharges, travel agency fees, federal, state, local, or municipal taxes, etc.  most average only about $30 US per night. 

No, the flights are not included.   The recipient of this incentive is responsible for all expenses including but not limited to: airfare, transfers, food, gratuities, and any other miscellaneous expenses. This incentive cannot be combined with any other promotional vacation offer. 

With these promotional offers, the resorts are hoping customers will make up for the loss in room revenue with spending on the property at the restaurants, spa, casino, etc.  For this reason and others they are requiring that at least 1 person in the party be over the age of 21 for all the resorts and a passport to travel if overseas,  they must also have a Major credit or a bank debit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo plus a valid government-issued ID to check-in.  (In other words, they must not be cash customers with no recourse for damage to rooms, etc.)   incentive users must also reside at least 100 miles or 160 kilometers 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.
