*All Travel Impressions-imposed revision fees are waived and are available for unlimited use so long as Travel Protection Plus remains on the reservation. Canceling or changing their vacation at any time before departure without costly revision fees does not include non-refundable properties. Supplier-imposed fees such as airline/hotel revision penalties will be covered for the first revision instance. If used to cover supplier-imposed fees, Travel Protection Plus will need to be reapplied to the reservation at 75% of the original price in order to maintain the program benefits or the traveler is subject to any subsequent revision or cancel fees. **Valid when booking 49 days or less prior to departure. The Low Deposit feature does not apply to scheduled air only or contracted groups. The Travel Protection Plus plan cost is due at the time of deposit. ***For the Price Guarantee to apply to the hotel portion of the reservation, the price adjustment must be made to the reservation while the lower Travel Impressions rate is available.
