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.

which you will receive after you submit your booking.
I don't have long to wait for a confirmation. What can
I do?
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.
When will my reservation be at the hotel?
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?

due to our high volume of 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.

to Interactive Affiliate Network within 60 days of the mailing of the

requirements when reserving a room. For example, some hotels with casinos
may require you to be 21 years of age to check into a room. Please inquire
with a Customer Care Agent or with the hotel directly.
