Good news! Though, airlines do not provide discounts, Grand Getaways guarantees the LOWEST price on airfare at the time of booking.

In addition, your exclusive GrandAir Card, included in your membership package, gives you access to rebates up to $500 per year. Rebate amounts vary depending on the base value of the airline ticket.

When placing your reservation request, mention that you would like your GrandAir Card to be applied toward your booking.

Your reservation agent will verify whether your flight qualifies for the rebate. .

You will receive an additional $500 GrandAir Card each year upon renewal of your membership. That’s quite a savings on airfare.

Simply call our Member Service Center at 888-269-0182 for our complete list of offerings.

While our website displays a wide variety of vacation offers and discounts, airfares and cruise fares, it only reflects about 30% of the amazing benefits and inventory the club has to offer.

Here’s why. More than 75 million searches occur daily across all major Global Distribution Systems (GDS). Our travel specialists have access to these systems for the most up-to-date, minute-by-minute itineraries.

Since there are more than two million fare changes daily, it is virtually impossible to show every price and itinerary on our website.

Is my club membership investment protected by using Stewart Vacation Ownership?

Stewart Title Company has been in business for more than 110 years.

With more than 9,500 offices worldwide, Stewart Vacation Ownership (SVO), a division of Stewart Title, has partnered with Grand Getaways as the escrow agent of record.

So exactly how does this benefit you? The answer is simple.

All funds are held in escrow by SVO for a mandatory three-day rescission period to protect your investment. Upon expiration of the recession period, all monies are released to the appropriate parties to complete the sale transaction.

This added step provides assurance that your investment is well-protected. You’re dealing with a company that has a longstanding and stellar reputation within the financial industry. It’s called peace of mind.

How much advance notice is required prior to booking a vacation?

Required advance notice varies. Here are some helpful guidelines:

Resorts/Condos: You may reserve Member/Premium Resort Weeks from 24 hours to 12 months in advance, and Hot Weeks/Short Notice Specials from 24 hours to 60 days in advance.

Vacation Packages: Pre-planned tour packages typically require four to six weeks advance notice. For Custom Tours, we recommend six to eight weeks advance notice.

No advance notice is required for Airfare, Car Rental and Cruises, but you’ll receive better air fares with a minimum of seven days notice.

Our highly trained reservation agents have years of experience and can advise you regarding specific requirements depending on your plans.

Can I cancel my reservation after it is confirmed?

Possibly. Your Personal Vacation Specialist will advise you at the time of booking. In general, the following guidelines apply:

Airfare: Changes to domestic airfare incur a penalty of $50 to $150 per person; changes to international airfare, $250 or more. Base prices may increase. Some fares cannot be modified.

Cruises: Cancellation penalties vary; typically the closer you are to the sailing date, the higher the penalty. Last minute sailings may not allow for any cancellation refunds.

Hotels and Car Rental: Some reservations may be canceled up to the day of arrival; some are nonrefundable, others may require a set number of days notice.

For ultimate peace of mind, purchase travel insurance; we make it easy and affordable.

What if I find a better price than Grand Getaways travel quoted?

Should you find a lower price within 24 hours of a quote for the same exact itinerary from one of our agents or through gograndgetways.com we will meet or beat it.
