Travel Credit Guide

Travel Girl Credit Guide – June 2006
By Sherry Martin

So you want to go on vacation? You’ve been saving up your days off, calculating in your mind how you can get the most time off so that you can take an extra long holiday. You’ve been saving your pennies for a rainy day, and now is the time to cash in…

But wait! Did you know that you don’t have to save up thousands of dollars before you go away? That you can take your dream trip and actually finance it without headaches through travel credit? Yes, it is possible! So if this comes as a surprise, maybe it’s that you haven’t had the time to do research on a reputable company that would not only take care of financing travel credit for you, but also plan out your trip in detail so that you get the most memorable journey ever imagined, without breaking the bank.

Let’s start back at the beginning. You’ve been dreaming of a trip to the exotic Hawaii Isles. Simply put, you know that if you go to Hawaii, you’ll want to do all the fun stuff – from taking surf lessons with incredible surf instructors, to visiting the famous Pearl Harbor Memorial, to spending a day at the Polynesian Culture Center to participating in an authentic pig roast and luau. Most likely, you’ll opt to stay downtown in Honolulu, where all the attractions are close to the world famous Waikiki Beach. You’ll experience the nightlife, amazing restaurants featuring local cuisine, and browse the world’s largest open air shopping district, the Ala Moana Center. You’ll hike Diamond Head crater, one of Hawaii’s most recognized icons that has an incredible view of downtown Honolulu. You’ll want to rent a car so you can drive up to the renowned North Shore, where the waves are incredibly mesmerizing, and the lifestyle is kicked-back.

So, you know what you want to do – but can you afford it? Here enters a new trend in travel credit. Player’s Vacation Club. Either you’ve found the company through a search engine or word of mouth. You submit a trip quote via their website for Oahu, Hawaii, asking for airfare and resort fares, and upon approval of the price quoted, you send in your paperwork with a deposit. Within a few days, a friendly travel coordinator calls to talk about details. Do you want airport transfers? Would you prefer beachfront? Did you have a special resort in mind? What time would you prefer your departure and arrival? Is it a special occasion? Would you care for upgrades if available? You can tell that the travel coordinators love their job.

Within a few days, you are offered your dream trip, and credit is now the main topic. “No-interest financing?” you ask. “No credit check and you’ll help me approve my credit rating? With up to 18 months to pay it back?” Wow! It seems too good to be true.

But it’s not. Player’s Vacation Club is a unique travel credit and financing company. The coordinators are friendly and look out for your needs as well as special requests. Your travel is booked, keeping you involved in the arrangements while they do all the dirty work. And yes, PVC offers no interest financing, no credit check, low down payments and even lets you pay off your balance early with no penalty. Does vacation get any sweeter?
