YEAAAAAA!! SWEET DREAMS ARE ONLY A TRIP AWAY..... ;) 

THE KEY IS TO PLAN AHEAD

The way to get the most out of our Vacation Savings Plan is to plan ahead. The more time you have from the start of your payment to your final payment date the less each payment will be. Plan today for the vacation you want to take 6 - 10 months from now. One of the unique features of CBE Vacations Savings Plan is you can begin saving even before you select your dream vacation. This is a great way to prevent paying your deposit amount upfront.

PAYMENT PROCESS

The way it works is very simple. You will make payments over time to purchase your vacation. Every supplier requires a deposit. Once you have made a deposit payment you will use the next months to pay down what the final balance of your trip is (if you have already selected your dream vacation). There may be some months that you want to pay more and some months you may want to pay less or many people may just make it an even payment each month, just like a monthly bill... but these payments are going towards pure fun in the end!

Because every trip is unique and everyone has a personal way they want their vacation saving plan handled, CBE will manage the mathematical formula for you. We receive and process each payment and send you a receipt so you know where you stand at all times. You will have access to your personal account 24/7 online. We are also available at all times to answer any and all questions you may have along the way.

WHAT DOES IT COST TO PARTICIPATE?

This is important. THERE IS NO UPFRONT COST FOR OUR VACATION SAVINGS PLAN! All we ask is that once you start the plan, you complete it to your final payment date. We do not add one cent to the cost of your vacation. With every trip, part or all of your vacation deposit is refundable to you, depending on the supplier for the trip, and what type of trip you purchase. Weather your deposit is refundable or not will be disclosed to you at the time of booking. If you cannot complete your payments... and we do understand that situations can arise that require a cancellation of plans... we will retain $25.00 per person of that refundable portion of your payments to cover our services rendered.

Our mission is to make dream vacations possible to as many people as possible. Our Vacation Savings Plan is not a money maker for us; it is a service we provide. Our services do have value, however, and we feel that $25.00 per person is a minimal amount to receive for managing your vacation savings plan.

PRICE PROTECTION

Sometimes the price of a vacation package may decrease after you start making payments. When that occur we will be able to lower your price... unless the price we found you in the first place was a non-refundable price. Often the prices we get are so low that the suppler have a non-refundable rule attached to them... this is new but happening more with cruises. If your trip is a tour or package the suppliers have varying rules that govern price decreases, but we will always seek to get you the lower price. What happens far more often is the price on your trip increase, and when that happens you are protected from the price increase... your price remains the same.

WHO ELSE IS DOING THIS?

FEW ARE MAKING THIS OFFER!

CBE Vacations found very few if anyone doing it the way we are... Most others are charging fees or having you put your purchase on a low interest credit card... and that's just what you are trying to get away from, right! - more debt. We are offering our vacation savings plan to our customers because we are passionate about the ability of our clients to get to see the world in this economical challenged times we live in. This program will make travel possible for thousands who otherwise thought they could not afford a dream vacation.

DEPOSIT REQUIREMENT (VACATION PACKAGE)

Suppliers will want an initial deposit. Deposits usually range between $150 - $300 per person and may or may not include a deposit on the air portion of your trip. If you have already selected a vacation, this would be your first deposit into the vacation savings plan. Some may want to begin saving prior to selecting a vacation. By doing so, you will make deposits into the savings plan as you see fit. Once you are ready to select your vacation you can already have the deposit before you are considered booked/priced locked in. All payments must be recieved 30 - 45 days prior to departure of your trip. (Holiday travel has its' own schedule of payments, so be sure to ask us about those if you are planning a holiday trip.) If airfare is included the price of your initial deposit may include the total air fare price. This happens when the air fare is a published price. We try to quote you a price that is one of our contracted prices which allows us to include the airfare in our payment plan and it allows you to make a much smaller initial deposit. We will be happy to discuss all the alternatives and the benefits of each when we prepare your quote.

One type of package that is very popular and that we do very often is the All Inclusive Layaway Vacation to Destinations like Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Riviera Maya, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and many more.

DEPOSIT REQUIREMENT (CRUISES)

The initial deposit required for a cruise varies by the lenght of your cruise. The shorter cruises have lower deposits and the longer cruises have higher deposits. On average a 7 night cruise, regardless of where the cruise is going, will carry a full deposit of $250.00 per person. If you are purchasing one of the many cruises on which we have negotiated prices the deposit may be as low as $25 per person. Cruise vacations really work so well when they are paid for in the payment plan, because we have cruise prices so much further in advance then we do for land vacations. It is not unusual to have cruise prices over a year in advance of travel time.

Again, and especially important since we do have cruise prices come out so far in advance is for you to be assured (as we stated above) that if prices go down, you will pay a lower price, too; but if prices increase you are protected with your price being in our payment plan! 

GREAT FOR GROUPS AND FAMILIES TOO!

It takes time to put a family or organizational trip together and having a payment plan to offer the group can really make it easier to assure full participation. Be sure to keep it in mind if you are the decision maker for such a trip! This is where we have been so very successful over the years!
