Can you book me with...?

As a certified travel adviser, I can book hotels, cruises, rentals and other reservations with almost every major hotel groups. I can also book you with most smaller hotel groups or independents as well. Many of these properties also offer exclusive rates and perks at no extra cost.

Can you book airfare?

If you’re considering business class, first class or a charter, I can often deliver better value than booking directly with your airline. For other flights, it is often best to book directly with the airline. In these cases, I can still often offer you exclusive rates for other parts of your trip, so be sure to ask for details before booking.

Do you charge for your services?

I don’t charge anything for booking almost all hotel stays, cruises, vehicle rentals, insurance or other types of travel.

Do I have to book a whole trip with you?

No, but keep in mind I can often offer you better value and exclusive rates and perks when two or more parts of your trip are booked with me. It’s always best to check in with an outline of all your plans and we can strategize the best way to approach booking your entire trip together.

Can I still use rewards programs with you?

That depends.

Earning points and status: In most cases, you can still earn points with your favorite loyalty or rewards program.
Using your status: You can typically still take advantage of the perks and amenities you’ve earned with loyalty programs. I can often get a few extra benefits added too!
Using points, rewards or miles to pay for travel: While most of the exclusive rates and perks I can unlock can’t be booked with points or reward dollars, check in with me first and we can strategize the best route to take.
Multi-part trips: If you’re planning to book more than one portion of your trip with me (such as a cruise and pre- or post-trip stay), I can often still help out with redeeming points on one component of your vacation at no extra cost or for a small planning fee. Ask for details.

How do I pay?

In most cases, the easiest way to pay is with a major credit card.

Depending on who you’re booked with, you may receive a secure link to enter your payment information.

Whenever possible, I will use your payment information to ensure you are able to access the reservation (as well as earn any rewards or points).
