Services and Contract
By becoming a Myplanittraveler.com member, you can compare prices for hotels, cruises, car rentals, and vacation rentals. You can also earn travel reward credits by shopping at hundreds of participating on-line stores and pay discounted prices for such travel. For example, Myplanittraveler.com negotiates rates with certain hotels to obtain for its members the wholesale rates for hotel rooms. You authorize Myplanittraveler.com to facilitate reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate displayed on the Website, plus taxes. You agree that Myplanittraveler.com will charge your credit card for the total reservation price. Upon your submitting your reservation request, you authorize Myplanittraveler.com to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers.
You may cancel or change your prepaid hotel reservation. However, you may be charged a cancellation or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for that specific hotel reservation. If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel you reserved, which varies by hotel (usually 24 to 72 hours) prior to your date of arrival, you will be subject to a charge equal to applicable nightly rates, tax recovery charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation.
You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited cases, some hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation. You agree to abide by the terms imposed with respect to your prepaid hotel reservations.
Some hotels may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover any additional expenses you incur during your stay. That deposit is unrelated to any payment Myplanittraveler.com receives for your hotel booking.
Membership Tiers
You may purchase a membership in one of three membership tiers each of which is subject to a different membership fee arrangement. Each membership tier includes a one-time annual membership fee that can be renewed each year. When you agree to become a Myplanittraveler.com member, you will be asked to provide a credit card number for booking your travel plans. Unless you book travel plans, your credit card will not be charged for the first seven (7) days of your membership, (the “Free Preview Period”). However, if you decide to book travel within the Free Preview Period or any time thereafter, your credit card will be charged the applicable membership fee for the tier you have selected. If you decide to cancel your membership within twenty-one (21) days following the expiration of the Free Preview Period, you will not receive a full refund of your membership fee. Instead, you will be subject to a twenty (20%) percent cancellation fee applied to the annual membership fee of the tier you selected. Your membership begins as soon as we process the annual membership fee. You can cancel your membership in Myplanittraveler.com at any time if you decide not to pay any applicable renewal fee.
Signature Membership
A signature membership is our introductory membership. The first year annual membership fee is $49.00. As long as there is no interruption in your membership, you can continually renew your signature membership on a yearly basis at no additional cost. Your signature membership entitles you to book hotels that are featured on our website. The price you pay will equal 50% of the wholesale savings cost that Myplanittraveler.com has negotiated with such hotels/travel suppliers. Our website will inform you of that amount of your hotel stay and the savings you received for booking your reservation with Myplanittraveler.com (the “Signature Savings”) as the savings are compared to the lowest consumer price published on the web. We will pass 50% of the Signature Savings to you. Each time you book travel through Myplanittraveler.com, you earn reward credits that you can redeem for future travel using Myplanititraveler.com. If you decide to upgrade to a platinum or platinum plus membership, any accrued reward credits that you earned as a signature member will be transferable to your upgraded membership.
Platinum Membership
With a platinum membership, your first year annual membership fee is 99.00. As long as there is no interruption in your membership, you can renew your membership for an annual fee of $99.00. Your platinum membership entitles you to book hotels, cruises, car rentals and more that are featured on our website. The price you pay for hotels will equal 100% of the wholesale cost that Myplanittraveler.com has negotiated with such hotels. Our website will inform you of that amount of your hotel stay and the savings you received for booking your reservation with Myplanittraveler.com (the “Platinum Savings”). We will pass 100% of the Platinum Savings to you. With your platinum membership, you will be able to offer a person of your choice (the “Referred Member”) a free unlimited membership to Myplanittraveler.com (the “Boomerang Membership”). The Boomerang Membership is similar to a signature membership except, unlike a signature membership, the Boomerang Membership does not entitle the Referred Member to earn reward credits to obtain savings for vacation rentals. The Referred Member may upgrade his/her membership by paying the original annual membership fee for the applicable membership tier that the Referred Member subsequently chooses. When a Referred Member books a stay at any of the hotels featured on our website, the Referred Member will receive 50% of the wholesale savings. You will receive the other 50% of the savings in reward credits as a result of the Referred Member booking the hotel stay on Myplanittraveler.com and completing his or her stay. You will receive your share of the Platinum Savings and any savings based on the Referred Member’s travel (the “Combined Savings”) in the form of reward credits. Myplanittraveler.com will give reward credits in an amount equal to (A) times (B) where (A) is 50% of the Combined Savings and (B) is .01. By way of illustration, if a Referred Member books a hotel stay and saves $1,046 by booking the stay on Myplanittraveler.com, you will receive 100% of the Combined Savings or 50% of the wholesale savings in the form of 104,600 reward credits ($1,046 x .01). You will earn reward credits only after the Referred Member concludes his/her hotel stay. The platinum member may redeem reward credits toward travel on Myplanittraveler.com. You may cancel your platinum membership at any time. In the event you cancel your membership, you agree to forfeit any reward credits that you have earned up to the date of cancellation. If the Referred Member upgrades his or her Boomerang Membership to become a signature, platinum or platinum plus member, the platinum member will no longer earn reward credits for travel that the particular Referred Member subsequently books.
Platinum Plus Membership
With a platinum plus membership, your annual membership (enrollment) fee is $179 and you can renew that membership on a yearly basis for $179 per year as long as there is no interruption in your membership. As a platinum plus member, you are entitled to all the benefits that a platinum membership offers. Additionally, however, in the event you offer a Boomerang Membership to a Referred “Guest”, you have the choice of redeeming your earned reward credits either for (1) future travel or (2) cash (the “Cash Alternative”) subject to the restrictions set forth above. If you choose to receive the Cash Alternative, within forty-five – sixty days (45-60) following your redemption process on Myplanittraveler.com, you will receive a check for the Cash Alternative from Focus Right Marketing, Inc., the Company that manages the website Myplanittraveler.com, in an amount equal to 1% of the total reward credits redeemed. If the Referred Member upgrades his or her Boomerang Membership to become a signature, platinum or platinum plus member, you will no longer earn reward credits for travel that the particular Referred Member subsequently books.
In the event the Cash Alternative you receive equals or exceeds $600 during your membership within any calendar year, U.S. law requires you to file tax form W-9 form (as required by the Internal Revenue Service). You agree and acknowledge that Myplanitittraveler.com does not offer any tax or accounting advice and is not responsible for the payment of your taxes. You are urged to consult with an accountant regarding your tax obligations.
