Services”). They are a full-service agency that can assist with air rewards, hotel, auto, vacation, cruise
reservations and other travel related products.
a) General Terms and Conditions related to Travel:
i. For reward redemptions that are included as part of your transaction, the Point
balance on your Program account will be decreased by the number of Points used
for this transaction.
ii. Payments by credit card will appear on your monthly card statement as “CL *Trip
Charges” or as a charge from the applicable travel provider (each, a “Supplier”
and collectively, “Suppliers”).
iii. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Travel Services may cancel the booking
in the event of suspected fraud, or a payment charge is disputed with the
payment card company, and we cannot resolve the dispute with you. In such
event the penalties imposed by the Suppliers for such cancellation, as
communicated at the time of booking, up to the full amount of each
ticket/reservation, will be applied.
iv. If you receive a receipt from the individual Supplier, the amount we charge you
may differ from the amount shown on the individual receipt, but the amount we
charge you will be the amount you agreed to pay at the time of the transaction. If
the amount shown on the receipt given by the individual Supplier is higher, you
will not be required to pay the difference and if the amount is lower you will not
receive a refund for the difference, which is retained by Loyalty Travel Agency as
compensation for services.
v. Inventory and pricing available from Travel Services are presented in real time
and reflect what is available to Travel Services at the time of your search.
Inventory and/or pricing may change between obtaining your search results and
receiving confirmation of your booking since we do not hold inventory that you

make their inventory available to Travel Services and some inventory may be
available only through the call center.
vi. All bookings made by Travel Services shall comply with all applicable U.S. laws,
rules and regulations including, without limitation, sanctions issued by the Office
of Foreign Assets Control. Such sanctions may prevent Travel Services from
offering travel to specific destinations or individuals. To assist Travel Services with
its compliance with laws, rules and regulations, Travel Services may ask you for
additional information. Any booking made, or in good faith believed to be made, in
violation of U.S. law, will be canceled by Travel Services, in its sole discretion,
with no liability to you other than to issue a refund, if permitted by law.
i. Reservations are subject to the rules of each Supplier on your itinerary; some
reservations cannot be canceled. Other reservations may incur program fees
and/or Supplier cancellation or change fees. Specific cancellation or change fees
for your specific itinerary are communicated at the time of booking. Refunds, if
permitted, are made after we receive the refund from the Supplier and may take
up to 60 days to process and are subject to the policies of the individual Supplier.
All refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of the scheduled travel
date (for example, airline departure date, hotel check-in date or car rental pick-up
date) and any negotiable documents (for example, airline tickets, redeemable
certificates, or vouchers) issued must be returned to Travel Services prior to
processing any refund.

may differ from the cancellation policy for reservations made directly with the
