How
are you able to offer these incentives?
Bid
On Energy and its travel partner BookVIP have traveled over 1 million
families to date and has contracts with the world 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 us, 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 nights stay,
future bookings, referrals and more.
What
are the taxes and fees and what are they based on for the travel
certificates.
The
taxes and fees are to cover the local tourism and bed taxes. Sales
tax is based on the full rack rate of the accommodations.
Are
there any other expenses/costs to use this vacation?
You will receive free room rate accomodations free of charge, which
retail is valued from $150.00 per night to up to $400.00 per night,
however you are 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.
You
are being given a vacation that is valued at up to $900 for Orlando
or Las Vegas and up to $1,500 for our international destinations,
depending on the time of year you travel.
Resort
fees if charged cover items like: WiFi Internet Access, Local Calls.
Resort amenities, Fitness centers, In-room safes, Beach Chairs,
Umbrellas, Beach/pool Towels, activities and more.
Do
I have to take a timeshare presentation or other sales preview in
order to take advantage of this vacation certificate?
Great
question, no, you will never be required to attend any sales or
timeshare presentation. This vacation certificate is being fulfilled
by Bid On Energy and BookVIP and we are simply filling otherwise
empty rooms which the hotels and resorts turn into additional revenue
from consumers like you who will more than likely spend money on
the property, such as room service, spa, in house restaurants, bar
purchases, casino and extra night stay, etc.
Can
I get together and book several rooms with others who have a certificate?
No
sorry, these certificates cannot be used for groups of more than
1 room. The hotels that are offering this promotion will honor only
one package per family, friends, acquaintances or known groups traveling
on the same, similar and/or adjoining arrival and departure dates.
There are additional costs associated with group travel. They also
will not be available to use during conventions or other special
events
