Yes! For every first-time traveler you refer to Grand Circle (or OAT), we’ll award you your choice of cash or credit. Note: your default payment selection is set as credit. If you prefer cash for payment, you will have to initiate a change to your account. Simply sign in to My Planner and make your selection, or call us toll-free at 1-800-221-0814 to speak to one of our Travel Counselors.

Travel credit will be available in your account five weeks after your new traveler’s departure. Cash payments are issued in the form of a check and will be mailed within five weeks following your new traveler's departure. If you earned a Free Trip, the Free Trip Certificate will be awarded on the fifth of the month after your eighth new traveler departs on their trip. You can track your referrals online through My Planner.

Please note: To comply with IRS regulations, you will also receive a Form 1099; you are required to provide your Social Security number and report the total refund bonus you earned for any tax year in which you receive $600 or more in cash for referring new travelers or travel on a FREE TRIP.

Refer eight travelers who depart after 1/1/13. You’ll earn your choice of a FREE TRIP or $6,500 cash on the fifth of the month after your eighth new traveler departs on their trip. And you’re not limited to just one FREE TRIP—you’ll earn it for every additional eight new travelers you refer. It’s unlimited!

A credit of up to $6,500 per household to be used for any trip offered by Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.), Grand Circle Cruise Line, or Grand Circle Travel. This credit can be applied to an already-reserved trip, but will not generate a refund for any money already paid for that reservation. The travel credit can be used for airfare and air upgrades on base trips and extensions, and must be applied to a reservation within two (2) years of earning. This credit cannot be applied to the Travel Protection Plan. Any amounts due for excluded items or for the value of the base trip in excess of $6,500 shall be the responsibility of the traveler. No refunds shall be awarded if the price of the trip is less than $6,500.

All applicable federal, state and local taxes, license, fees or other costs are the sole responsibility of the traveler. The trip credit is non-transferable; no substitutions, exchanges, or cash redemptions. If the traveler purchases Grand Circle’s Travel Protection Plan, the price the traveler will pay for the plan is based on the full price of the trip.

In the event of trip cancellation for any reason, including but not limited to, the health of the traveler winner, cancellation, scheduling conflicts or an event of force majeure, the trip may be rebooked, provided it is still within the one-year redemption window. Grand Circle or O.A.T.’s Terms and Conditions, as applicable, associated with the trip apply. The prize restrictions/conditions stated herein are not all-inclusive and may be subject to additional restrictions/conditions, which may be stated in the affidavit and release and/or prize travel documents.

Each new traveler instantly receives $100 off the cost of his or her first Grand Circle vacation or O.A.T. adventure simply by mentioning your name and Customer Number when they make their reservation.

Yes. You do not need to travel with the individuals you refer, and they can travel on any Grand Circle vacation or O.A.T. adventure they choose (even if it's not one you specifically spoke to them about). As long as they mention your name and Customer Number at the time of booking, you'll earn your cash or credit rewards.
