GETAWAY TO PARADISE PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Getaway to Paradise program you have received is an offer that provides accommodations for 2 adults, one of which must be 25 years of age. If married, you must travel together.

The first step in the program is to complete the activation form and mail it to the address provided at the bottom of the form. If you have not chosen a destination, you may certainly do so in the future, so please check the appropriate box with that information. You must also send in a $50 deposit.  The activation form must be mailed and postmarked within 30 days of issue date for this offer to be valid.  This deposit is refundable on request less a $10 processing fee. The request must be made in writing at any time prior to the expiration date before confirming reservations or within 30 days of completion of travel.  The refund request should be mailed to Getaway to Paradise, 4802 Gunn Hwy, Suite 158, Tampa, FL  33624 or emailed to refunds@ptsclubmembers.com.  Refunds will be mailed approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the request is received.

Once we receive your deposit and activation form, you will receive a confirmation letter from Getaway to Paradise. This letter provides the validity dates of your offer, which is one year from your issue date. You will be given a telephone number to call for reservations when you have chosen your destination and dates. This number is for reservations only.

Once we take your reservation request, we will contact you when you are confirmed. Please allow at least two weeks for confirmation. Then you will be contacted again with hotel information. Your deposit is refundable after your hotel stay is completed. Instructions about receiving your refund can be found in your terms and conditions.


The hotels offered in our program are similar to Holiday Inn to Sheraton Suites. Our program offers 2 nights, but, usually, an additional night can be added at an additional fee. The fee will be discussed at the time of reservations. Also, most of our hotels allow up to two children in the same room. There may be a fee for this also, it depends on the hotel available at the date you have chosen. Again, we will also discuss this you when you call for reservations. For your information, the additional night is usually $99 and children rates may be as low as $10 per person. Remember, the offer is for room rate only. Holiday, peak season and weekend surcharges apply. Tax and resort fees, if applicable, are the responsibility of the traveler. The taxes will vary according to your destination--but usually run $10-15 per night.

Arrival date must be a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 60 days in advance. The more advance time you provide us, the better the hotel availability. There may be certain times that no hotels are available at your destination on your desired dates of travel. Getaway always prefers at least 2 choices of dates.
