Can u provide some examples of the types of places where the vouchers can be used? Can they be used for goods and services.

We have booked CB for November of 2014. Will this be available at that time?
Thanks!

We were going to book this week to take advantage of the current pricing...if we wait until August 7th when the booking window opens up will that $500 flight bonus be gone? Just trying to get the best deal possible! I agree with the earlier question - where would we be able to spend these dollars and could they be spent right on the resort? I'm thinking spa or candle light dinner? I love couples so much - I'm so excited to start planning our trip!

So if you booked before August 7th but are traveling within the alloted time frame do you still receive the "Free Spending Money"?

Hi Jan, We will also be there first week of November. We booked before the information was posted concerning the vouchers. Have u heard wether we get them since we did not book in the window times given

In order to be eligible for vouchers must both the booking window and the travel time be met ?
