How do I cancel a reservation?

It is important that all users note the cancellation policy of the hotel they choose at the time of booking. Some rates are not refundable, meaning a reservation can’t be cancelled or can’t be cancelled without a penalty fee.

If a reservation allows for cancellation, click on the “Cancellations” link in the footer of the TravelCount website and follow the instructions that are provided.

Can members of my company or organization use TravelCount for personal travel?

Yes. Once a company's employees are members of TravelCount, they can use the Leisure Site (found under "My Sites") for non-business travel. See more under "Leisure Travel" below.

Leisure Travel

Can members of my company or organization use TravelCount for personal travel?

Yes. We encourage you to use the Leisure Site (found under "My Sites") for non-business travel. This gives the user privacy in booking while still allowing them to take advantage of these great rates.

Can my company admin see reservations I made on the Leisure Site?

No. That's the beauty of the Leisure Site. While reservations made on the Business Site can be viewed by company admins for reporting purposes, reservations made on the Leisure Site are private to the user who made them.

Can employees use a stored business payment method on a leisure booking?

No. Companies can store a credit card to be used by all company members on the Business Site for business reservations, but that credit card will not be accessible to users on the Leisure Site.

Points

How do I earn points?

You earn reward points on hotel bookings made through this site. When you search for a hotel, the number of points you can earn by choosing that property will be noted. After you book, the points you earned will also be noted on your confirmation, and your total will automatically update.

How do I redeem points?

The points you accumulate can be redeemed on a personal hotel reservation made on the Leisure Site (found under "My Sites"). Simply perform a hotel search, and each booking that you can cover completely with your points will be highlighted. When you get to the payment section of the booking, check the box to use your points as your payment method.

Can I use points to cover a portion of the cost of a booking?

No. Points can only be used when they can cover the full cost of a reservation.
