HOTEL & CAR RESERVATIONS
You
acknowledge that the Bonvoy Companies pre-negotiate certain room rates with
hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of reservations on your behalf. The
room rate displayed on the Website is a combination of the pre-negotiated room
rate for rooms reserved on your behalf by the Bonvoy Companies and the
facilitation fee retained by Bonvoy Inc to compensate us for our services. You
authorize the Bonvoy Companies to book reservations for the total reservation
price, which includes the room rate displayed on the Website, plus tax recovery
charges, and service fees. You agree that your credit card will be charged by
the Bonvoy Companies for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your
reservation request you authorize the Bonvoy Companies to facilitate hotel
reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel
suppliers.
You acknowledge that Bonvoy Inc does not collect taxes for remittance to
applicable taxing authorities. The tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel
transactions are a recovery of the estimated transaction taxes (e.g. sales and
use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, etc) that the Bonvoy
Companies pay to the hotel supplier in connection with your hotel reservations.
The hotel suppliers invoice the Bonvoy Companies for tax amounts. The Hotel
suppliers remit applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. Bonvoy
Inc does not act as co-vendor with the supplier with whom we book or reserve
our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate
vary greatly by location. The actual tax amounts paid by the Bonvoy Companies
to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending
upon the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of the actual use of the
hotel by our customers. We retain our service fees as compensation in servicing
your travel reservation. Our service fees vary based on the amount and type of
hotel reservation. All trips, reservations
and bookings must be completed within 90 days.
REFUND POLICY
You
may cancel or change your hotel or car reservation, but you will be charged the
cancellation or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel
or car reservation. If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the
cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel or car you reserved, which
varies by hotel (usually 24 to 72 hours) prior to your date of arrival) or car
company, you will be subject to a charge of applicable rates, tax recovery
charges and service fees. In the event you do not show for the first night of
the hotel reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your
reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with Bonvoy Inc no later
than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of
your reservation. In the event you do not show for the first day of the car
reservation and plan to use for subsequent days in your reservation, you must
confirm the reservation changes with Bonvoy Inc no later than the date of the
first day of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation. You
must make refund requests for no-shows or early checkouts within 30 days after
checkout or car return.
You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. In limited
cases, some hotels and car companies 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 and conditions
imposed with respect to your hotel reservations.
BONVOY UNPUBLISHED RATE RESERVATIONS
When
available, Bonvoy Inc. may offer
additional, discounted hotel booking options on the Website . These hotels,
called Bonvoy Unpublished Rate hotels, are different from other hotels offered
on the Website in several important ways. The name and exact address of the
hotel are not shown until after payment has been made for the booking. All
bookings are final and cannot be changed, refunded, exchanged, cancelled, or
transferred to another party. Your credit card will be charged for the amount
shown even if you do not use the booking. Room type will be determined by the
hotel based on the number of guests provided at time of booking. All
reservations are booked for stays in non-smoking rooms (subject to availability).
Hotel room assignments are determined at check-in and upgrades are not
available. The maximum number of Bonvoy Unpublished Rate rooms that can be
booked at one time is six. All Bonvoy Unpublished Rate rooms will be booked
under the same name, and the guest under whose name the reservation is made
must be present at check-in. Bonvoy Unpublished Rate hotels are not eligible
for hotel reward or club programs. Upon check-in, guests must present a valid
ID and credit card in their name (the amount of available credit required will
vary by hotel). Debit cards may not be accepted.
TRAVEL DESTINATIONS
Although
most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without
incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others.
Bonvoy Inc urges passengers to review travel prohibitions, warnings,
announcements and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to
booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in
various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular
international destinations can be found at www.state.gov,
www.tsa.gov, www.dot.gov,

CURRENCY CONVERTER
Currency
rates are based on various publicly available sources and should be used as
guidelines only. Rates are not verified as accurate, and actual rates may vary.
Currency quotes are not updated every day. Check the date on the currency
converter feature for the day that currency was last updated. The information
supplied by this application is believed to be accurate, but the Bonvoy
Companies, the Bonvoy Affiliates, and/or our respective suppliers do not
warrant or guarantee such accuracy. When using this information for any
financial purpose, we advise you to consult a qualified professional to verify
the accuracy of the currency rates. We do not authorize the use of this
information for any purpose other than your personal use and you are expressly
prohibited from the resale, redistribution, and use of this information for
commercial purposes.
BANK AND CREDIT CARD FEES
Some
banks and credit cards impose fees for international transactions. If you are
making a booking from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your
bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a
conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card
statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than
the figure shown on the billing summary page for a reservation booked on the
Website. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the bank
that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking
international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by
the bank or card company, since Bonvoy may pass on your payment to an
international travel supplier. The currency exchange rate and foreign
transaction fee is determined solely by your bank on the day that they process
the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate
applied to your booking, please contact your bank.
