FAQ
How do I book a hotel with The Travel Club?+
Search for your destination, select check-in and check-out dates and the number of guests, then browse available hotels. Click a property to view room types and rates, choose a room, and complete the secure checkout. You’ll receive a confirmation email immediately after booking.
What is the best time to book a hotel to get the lowest price?+
For popular leisure destinations, booking 4–8 weeks in advance typically yields the best rates. For business or last-minute trips, many hotels release discounted inventory within 48 hours of check-in. Member rates are available regardless of booking lead time.
Can I book a hotel for someone else using my account?+
Yes. During checkout you can enter a different guest name. The confirmation will show the guest’s name while payment and account activity stay tied to your account.
How do I modify or cancel my booking?+
Log in and go to “My Bookings”, select the booking and click Modify or Cancel. Cancellation policies vary by hotel and rate — free-cancellation rates can be cancelled up to the deadline shown at booking with no charge.
What payment methods are accepted?+
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, and Stripe. All transactions are secured with 256-bit SSL encryption. Payments are processed in USD by default; your card issuer may apply a currency conversion fee for other currencies.
What does The Travel Club membership include?+
Members receive exclusive negotiated hotel rates not available on public sites, priority access to limited-inventory tours and experiences, a dedicated 24/7 concierge team, and early access to flash deals across 190+ countries.
Are The Travel Club rates really lower than other booking sites?+
Yes. We work directly with hotel chains and independent properties to negotiate member-only rates. If you find a lower publicly available rate within 24 hours of booking, contact support and we’ll match it.
Is there a free trial for membership?+

How many hotels are available on The Travel Club?+
Over 1 million hotels and accommodations in 190+ countries, from budget guesthouses to luxury five-star resorts.
Do hotels include breakfast?+
Meal-plan inclusions depend on the specific hotel and rate. Each listing shows inclusions clearly on the room detail page — look for “Breakfast Included” or “All-Inclusive” tags.
Can I filter hotels by amenities such as pool, gym, or pet-friendly?+
Yes. Search results include filters for amenities, star rating, price range, guest rating, and cancellation policy.
Are hotel prices shown per room or per person?+
All hotel prices are per room per night, including applicable taxes and fees, unless explicitly stated otherwise at checkout.
What types of tours and activities can I book?+

How far in advance should I book tours and activities?+
Popular experiences at top attractions sell out weeks ahead in peak season — book at least 2 weeks in advance. Last-minute availability does exist for many activities.
What is the cancellation policy for hotels?+
Terms are set by each hotel and rate type. Free-cancellation rates allow cancellation up to the deadline (typically 24–48 hours before check-in) with a full refund. Non-refundable rates are cheaper but cannot be refunded. The policy is always displayed before payment.
How long does a hotel refund take?+
Refunds are processed within 3–5 business days of approval. Depending on your bank, the credit may take an additional 3–7 business days to appear.
What happens if a hotel cancels my booking?+
We immediately notify you and provide equivalent alternative accommodation at no extra charge, or a full refund if no suitable alternative is available.
