The 110% Best Value Guarantee

Find a lower price.
We pay the spread.

If you find a lower publicly available price for the same booking online, Approved Traveler refunds 110% of the difference. Not 100% — 110%. The price you book is the lowest price available, or you're paid more than the gap.

  • Submit a screenshot — that's the entire claim
  • Refunded within 48 hours, no escalation needed
  • Applies to every booking, every category
  • No blackout dates, no fine print exclusions

Booked two weeks in Mayakoba for less than what we paid for five nights there a year earlier on a retail site. The savings effectively funded our next trip.

We travel as a household of eight. Family coverage without per-person surcharges is the single feature that makes Approved Traveler pencil out.

The Okonkwo Family

Charlotte, NC · Member since 2022

I found a lower price on a competitor the morning after I booked. They refunded 110% of the difference without making me fight for it. That was the moment I trusted the platform.

110% refund

My Reward Credits have covered our annual renewal two years running. The membership pays for itself as long as we keep traveling — which we do.

Marcus T.

The Lux Traveler assistant coordinated a last-minute itinerary change across three cities in under an hour. That alone was worth the upgrade.

Elena V.

Miami, FL · Lux Traveler since 2023

We booked a family reunion in Maui for 14 people and the group rate plus one flat fee saved us more than the cost of our flights. No per-person add-ons anywhere else came close.

Spontaneous long weekend in Napa. Booked the hotel and vineyard tour from my phone in 90 seconds while stuck in traffic. The app is ridiculously smooth.

Used my Reward Credits to cover both our anniversary suite upgrade in Santorini and the membership renewal. The credits literally paid for themselves twice over.

Alex Chen

Our flight was canceled by the airline. Approved Traveler’s travel protection refunded everything within 48 hours and gave us a $300 future-travel credit. Zero paperwork.

Common questions

Read before
you join.

The questions members ask most. If something here is unclear, support is staffed live, day or night.

  • How does family coverage work?
    Every Approved Traveler account includes up to 10 family members — all with full access to the same rates, inventory, and benefits. No add-on fees, no per-person surcharges. Couple's getaways and multi-generational reunions travel under one account.
  • What is the 110% Best Value Guarantee?
    Find a lower publicly available price for the same booking online, and Approved Traveler refunds 110% of the difference. Not 100% — 110%. It removes price anxiety from every reservation.
  • How do Reward Credits work?
    Every dollar you spend earns Reward Credits. They don't expire and they don't devalue. Apply them toward maintenance fees, resort usage fees, annual renewal, or redeem them as eGift cards across the US, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Australia, and the UK.
  • I already own a timeshare — what can I do with it?
    Deposit up to 5 weeks per year through V.O.I.C.E. and convert them into platform-wide credits, swap them for stays at other member properties with no exchange fee, or list them for rent in the member Marketplace with no listing fee.
  • What is Boomerang Member Share?
    Share your member access with family and friends. When they complete hotel or car reservations through your shared access, you earn Reward Credits on their bookings. A referral engine built into the platform.
  • Is Lux Traveler the same as Approved Lux?
    No. Lux Traveler is the higher tier of the Approved Traveler platform — it adds a personal assistant team on top of the full travel benefits. Approved Lux is a separate standalone product.
  • How do I cancel or renew?
    Membership is annual and renews yearly. To cancel or manage renewal, reach out to support by phone or live chat — available around the clock.
  • How much does membership cost?
    Traveler is $899 per year. Lux Traveler is $1,799 per year and adds 10 personal assistant seats on top of everything in Traveler. Both tiers cover up to 10 family members under a single account with no per-person surcharges.
