Discounts & Rebates NEED #1 topic completion estimate and then I will do the coupon dates :
 
DISCOUNTS & DISCOUNT DISCLAIMER:
You must use the code when you book as they are not retroactive after you sign up UNLESS otherwise stated like the member rebate etc.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but the accounting expenses of manually trying to do the discount is far exceeding the discount amount making it very prohibitive to manage this way. So please be sure to use the discount code AT TIME OF INITIAL BOOKING.
NOTE: The EBD or Early Booking Discounts can only be used as follows:

• When paying in full
• When you first sign up
• By the deadline given. After that deadline they disappear and the code will not work. (So please leave a buffer if you need to xfer money or have questions.)

I completed the #1 topic with the exception of the coupon area.  It needs to be quality control checked and coupon information and chance to win area in that section.

Thank you Butch. WOW...I did not expect that. Pam said she could get HIKA done on Tues so if the trip looks close I'll get the coupons done and we can get this one opened as well.

HIka is basically built (needs me to QC & Coupons)  - Need to re-look at pricing, the Premium S/O price is less than the Premium D/O price.... Was this intentional?

 

Final Payment due on 2/20/21
