BookVIP has traveled over 1 million families to date and has contracts with the world leading hotel chains, and resorts to help them fill their otherwise empty rooms. We help fill empty rooms which the hotels, resorts turn into additional revenue from other areas of their property and future bookings. Hotels rarely experience full occupancy, yet they remain open, providing rooms and services at fixed costs. So when hotels give out their rooms by partnering with AdvertisingBoost and BookVIP, they might miss out on the room fee, but they already didn't have that in the first place, at least now they have the opportunity to gain a customer for their in-house restaurants, room service, their casinos, an extra day stay, future bookings, etc. The benefit of why our program works so well is the fact that it's a win-win for everyone involved. You win because you gain more business from using our incentives. Your customers win because they received an awesome incentive gift from you. The resorts win because they gain additional revenue from other areas of their establishment that they otherwise would not have been able to get and they also have a new client that may book with them in the future.  BookVIP will also offer additional upgrades and incentives that your client can choose to accept or not.

With the Silver level membership you can give a way 10 Vacation Certificates Monthly and 10 of each of the Restaurant certificates and 10 Hotel savings cards monthly.  At the Gold Level you can give away unlimited certificates of each category. As the Platinum level you not only have can give away unlimited certificates but you can brand up to 5 different company names to send “from”. Your customers can only use one in the US vacation certificates and one internationally lifetime.

We’re glad you asked.  Here’s how it works. Currently, our US and Mexico incentives can only be used by US and Canadian citizens.

Our Tenerife Spain certificates are only available to citizens of Europe (including the UK). And our certificates for Thailand vacations are available to citizens or residents of any country, except for citizens of Asian countries.

In other words, the Thailand vacation certificates can’t be redeemed by people they would consider “locals”. To use certificates in Thailand, the establishments are looking for tourists from what they consider “foreign countries” outside of Asia.

Yes, our digital certificates created will be assigned an expiration date 7 days out from the date you sent it. The printed certificates will be assigned an expiration date 30 days after creation.  Please note that the expiration date shown on the digital certificates only pertains to the actual activation of the certificate. After your customers activate a vacation certificate, they will have at least 18 months to travel.  To activate the guest simply needs to pay the daily taxes and fees that correspond to the certificate. They can activate by phone or online.

The business model works best when the customer activates right away otherwise most will forget they even received it.  During this 7 day period, we will send them up to 3 emails to remind them to activate. Our redemption rate is the highest in the industry because the 7-day expiration date provides a sense of urgency to activate and use it. Another important reason is that the 7-day expiration date is there to protect our business and your business in the event our contracts change with the participating properties and travel companies, we can easily update or change our offers.  This way we do not expose ourselves or your company to discontinued certificates in circulation that may be redeemed at any time in the future.

No. The expiration date pertains to activation of the vacation certificate only. Once your customer activates by paying the taxes and fees of a vacation certificate they will then have at least 18 months to travel.  Example for our US resorts the activation fee is $19.45 per night and our Mexico offers is $19.70 per night.

No. We do not do any other marketing to your certificate recipient.  We respect our business partners and have no intention of spamming your clients with email.  We will send up to 3 email reminders during the first 7 days prior to the certificate expiration to remind them to activate.   If they do activate then they have become a customer of ours as well and we may need to have further communication with this customer concerning the reservation, or reminding them to book dates etc.
