FAQ  


Making a Reservation  
How do I reserve my room?
Our reservation process is very simple. Select or enter the desired city, enter the dates of arrival and
departure, and enter the number of guests. Click the Search Available Hotels (for only hotels which have
vacancies), Search for Vacation Rentals or the Browse All Hotels (all hotels in a city regardless of
vacancy) button. You could also search by a specific hotel name within a city.

A list of hotels or vacation rentals will appear on the screen. For more information, click the name of the
property or the Info link.
After room types and rates are returned to your screen, you will be able to choose the rate you desire
by reading the room information in the center of the screen, then clicking on the Book It button on the
right side of the screen.
After you have selected your desired room type, you will be taken to a "Secure Reservation Request"
form. Then you will need to review the "Reservation Information" and fill in the blanks on the "Guest
Information" section. Be sure your name and email address are spelled correctly.
After you fill out all of the needed information, press the "Submit Reservation" button.
If further correspondence is necessary prior to confirming the reservation, a Customer Care agent will
reply back to you with an email within 2 to 4 hours.



Is it safe to use my credit card?
Yes. We take this matter very seriously. To ensure your security, Interactive Affiliate Network utilizes a
secure commerce server, which encrypts the credit card number and encodes it into a non-usable form.


What credit card types are accepted for guarantee/deposit?
The card types accepted for guarantee/deposit will be listed in the Info section of the hotel description.


My credit card number is correct, but the hotel is not accepting it. Why?
There are a few possibilities:
Your card type is not accepted at the hotel.
The card expiration date precedes the reservation date.
You have reached your credit limit.
There is a computer error.



Can I specify where I would like my room located (preferred floor, next to pool, etc.)?
If special requests are accepted by the lodging, a section will appear on the Reservation Form to insert
such requests and submit them to the hotel. The hotel staff will do their best to accommodate special
requests. We cannot guarantee that your requests will be granted because they are subject to
availability.


Is the room rate per person or per night?
Rates are quoted on a nightly basis unless otherwise specified. SOME RATES MAY REQUIRE SPECIAL
IDENTIFICATION. Taxes and fees not included unless otherwise specified in the detailed Rate Rules.
Extra people, children, roll-away beds and incidentals may be subject to additional charges


What about the special discounts?
Many of the participating hotels offer "Special Internet Rates" to our users. These rates offer substantial
savings. See " What is a Special Internet Rate? "  


I should receive a discounted rate. How do I get this?
The rates displayed are the only rates available to this site for making reservations. These rates may
include government, corporate, or senior discounts. You may need special documentation at check-in to
confirm you are qualified to receive that rate. Please do not expect to receive such a rate at check-in
without the proper identification even if you have selected to book it online.  


Is there a waiting list for sold out hotels?
In certain instances, Interactive Affiliate Network can make reservations at sold out properties. Often
lodgings identified as "Special Internet Rates" are providing sold out availability. If you want to be placed
on a waiting list, you will need to contact the lodging directly.

Typically, most lodging reservations are made in real time and your confirmation should only take a few
seconds. You will be notified of the status of your reservation within 2 to 4 hours. However, there can be
delays. In such cases, you will receive an email from us without a confirmation number. When we receive
the confirmation number from the property, it will be emailed to you. If there is a special request or rate
change associated with your reservation, the request will be sent to a Customer Care agent for
processing. You may contact us directly at reply@travelnow.com.

Special Internet Rates Rates:
Your name will not appear at the hotel until 72 hours before your arrival date. Rest assured, the room is
booked; however, the hotel just does not know that you will be the person staying in it.
"Additional Rates":
It takes a minimum of 24 hours before your reservation details reach the lodging's computer system.
Rest assured, the room is booked; however, the hotel simply has not entered your details into their
system yet.



Once I have made my reservation, will I receive any written confirmation from the hotel?
No. The email confirmation you receive from Interactive Affiliate Network is all you will need. It displays
your Interactive Affiliate Network Itinerary Number, the hotel information, the rate, confirmation number,
and the hotel's cancellation policy.


Canceling a Reservation  
What is the cancellation policy on my reservation?
When you are completing the Secure Lodging Reservation Form, the Cancellation Policy will be
provided in red or there will be a link to read the cancellation policy. You can also view the property
information page to find the cancellation policy. These policies will vary from lodging to lodging, so you
must read each one carefully. In general, the standard increments are that you must cancel the room(s)
by 4 or 6 PM on the arrival date, or 24, 48, or 72 hours prior to your specified arrival; however, these
are just general guidelines and the specific policy of the property will prevail. If you cancel before the
deadline, generally you will not be charged a penalty. Canceling after the stated period will result in a
cancellation penalty fee.  Some reservations are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled after booking.

Reservations of "Special Internet Rates" will apply a cancellation fee regardless of the timeframe of
cancellation. If the cancellation is outside of the time allotted, you may be charged for one night's stay
including tax recovery charges and service fees. Please read the specific cancellation policy provided
for each property on the site and in any emails regarding your reservation.  

How do I cancel a reservation?
Use the "View/Cancel Reservation" link provided on the home page.  


Miscellaneous  
What is a Vacation Rental?
A vacation rental is any suite-type lodging that has self-catering facilities (wet bar, refrigerator,
microwave, etc.) Most vacation rentals have separate bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, one or more
bathrooms, washer and dryer, and sometimes a balcony or patio. Towels and linens are provided. Daily
maid service and other hotel conveniences are usually available.

Unlike hotels with per person pricing, there is a set price for an entire vacation rental with a maximum
number of persons allowed. Most one-bedroom units sleep a maximum of four using a sleeper/sofa in
the living room. Most two-bedroom vacation rentals sleep a maximum of six, and most three-bedroom
vacation rentals sleep up to eight.

Please carefully read the vacation rental descriptions to learn the specifics of what is provided and how
many people are allowed.


Where do I pick up my vacation rental keys?
The email you receive confirming your reservation for a Vacation rental will provide details as to where
and when you should pick up the keys to your rental unit.


What type of customer service is offered?
After submitting your reservation request, you will be provided with an email address to use to make
inquires about your request. Our qualified and friendly agents are available 24-hours a day, 7 days a
week, 365 days a year (including holidays) to answer your questions. All you have to do is ask.


I'm looking for a hotel in Los Angeles. Can you help me?

reservations. Please use the Lodging Search Form to identify availability and rates at over 47,000
hotels around the world.


Is there a hotel shuttle service to/from the airport?
Many hotels offer shuttle service to and from the airport. This may be listed on the Lodging Information
page. If it is offered, there may be a charge by the hotel for this service. Vacation rentals often do not
have this type of service.


Is parking available? Free parking? Long-term parking?
Most hotels and vacation rentals offer free parking to their guests, although some may charge.
Long-term parking is offered at the discretion of the property (often in conjunction with park and fly
rates). This may be listed on the Lodging Information page.


What if there will be more than two adults in the room?
Most hotels allow additional guests to stay in the rooms at a charge (usually between $5.00-$20.00 per
person). Some hotels and most vacation rentals have a limit on how many people can stay in a room.
This may be listed on the Lodging Information page.


Our children will be with us... do they stay free?
Usually children under 12 years of age stay for free in their parent's room using the existing bedding.
The age requirement differs depending on the specific hotel's policy. This may be listed on the Hotel
Lodging page.


Are rollaway beds/cribs available?
Most hotels and some vacation rentals offer rollaway beds and cribs (typically at a charge- $5.00-$20.00
each). Some may have restrictions on what room types will allow rollaway beds. This may be listed on
the Lodging Information page. If special requests are accepted, a section will appear on the Reservation
Form to insert such requests and submit them to the hotel or vacation rental.


What are the directions to the hotel?
The location information of the hotel is sometimes listed on the Lodging Information page. This can
identify the distance from the hotel to certain landmarks or the airport. Vacation rental reservations will
have directions included in the confirmation email.


Is breakfast included?
Many hotels offer free breakfast. Often this is a continental breakfast or sometimes just coffee and
donuts. It would be very rare for a Vacation rental to provide breakfast. If included, it should be listed on
the Lodging Information page.
