Credit Card and Personal Information Security

Is my credit card number safe? Is my personal information safe? If I join, will I start getting lots of spam?

Is my credit card number safe?

Yes. We use an encryption technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encode your personal information (such as your password, address and phone number, or your credit card number) whenever you send such information to our database. This encryption technology protects this information from interception by criminals and makes doing business over the Internet more secure than using your credit card over the telephone or in a restaurant. You can tell that you are communicating with our secure server using encryption by observing the small picture of a lock that appears in the bottom part of your web browser.

Your personal information is stored in a secure database and is only available to you and to your travel agent. Your credit card information is encrypted in our database, and it is never fully displayed to your agent, to you, to your fellow account members, or anyone else who uses our system. As an additional protection against unauthorized use of credit cards, we also require that users of certain credit cards supply a Card Security Code (CSC) when purchases are made on our web site. The CSC is not embossed on a credit card, nor is it stored in our database, and is considered to be one of the best additional security checks.

Is my personal information safe?

Yes. We use an encryption technology called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encode your personal information (such as your password, address and phone number, or your credit card number) whenever you send such information to our database. This encryption technology protects this information from interception by criminals and makes doing business over the Internet more secure than using your credit card over the telephone or in a restaurant. You can tell that you are communicating with our "secure server" using encryption by observing the small picture of a lock that appears in the bottom part of your web browser.

Your personal information is stored in a secure database and is only available to you and to your travel agent. When you make travel purchases on this web site we transmit some of your personal information (such as your name and credit card number) to airline or hotel companies as necessary to handle your purchase. We limit this transmission of personal information to that required by the travel vendor.

If I join, will I start getting lots of spam?

Not from us. We send a regular membership mailing about once per month to all members. This is a part of our membership services and this email includes recent information about using this web site, timely travel specials, and other information of interest to members.

We do not share your name or email address with any third-party vendors (except when we are acting as your agent to purchase travel) so you will not receive any unsolicited email from our travel partners. Please read our complete Privacy Policy
