I got free flight upgrades for groom/bride and also every 11th person was free to a maximum of 3. With the number of guests that we have it wouldn't have made a big difference if we tried to put it towards our guests so we decided to use it towards a second week in Mexico.

 

I loved the fact that I had different options as to what to do with my credit.

 

I used Brandy MacDonald from Uniglobe GeoTravel in Edmonton.

 

She has been great, answers all my questions promptly and has gone above and beyond to ensure I am happy. Our flights are direct Edmonton to Cancun and she has even booked a few guests coming from different provinces so they can catch the same flight with the rest of the group.

That's a great idea using it for a 2nd week...we also get the 11th person free.. might have to discuss this option with FI

Her email is laurielee at tieronetravel.com and if you can use a read receipt, it's a good idea, she sometimes doesn't receive all the emails I send her from my gmail account.

Thanks @Maggietron! Did you happen to have her number?

We did Flight Centre too! We ended up thru our agent there getting a package thru Sunwing, which is every 11th passenger is a free one (minus taxes) so we had 31 booked so my FI and I are free, yaay! We also get upgraded rooms to the next pricepoint and specialty lounges at the airport apparently...not sure how much we'll use them if we get a 6 am flight, but who knows! It def depends on the TA and their connections.

When we get free rooms you can use it for anyone's flight. So either spread the savings to everyone, or give a couple of people a free flight that they really need. For us, we're giving one for my fiance's family and another one for my friend from Argentina who otherwise would not be able to come. 

 

When I spoke to my TA she said that these "Free trips" are more like a money amount and you can use and allocate however you want. 

 

Also, different TAs can offer you different perks on different resorts, it depends on their relationship with them so shop around and see what different ones will offer you and then make a decision based on the resorts you like best and the ones you get the best perks at
