WHY IT RATES: Pleasant Holidays launches a new Travel Protection Plan with cancel for any reason cashback plus 100 percent commission protection. - Mackenzie Cullen, Editorial Associate
Pleasant Holidays today launched its new Travel Protection Plan, which offers two coverage options, both with pre-departure cancel for any reason waiver benefits:
- Cancel for Any Reason - Cash Back: with this option, refunds are paid back in the original form of payment (cash, check or credit card), less the cost of the Travel Protection Plan
- Cancel for Any Reason - Voucher: for this more affordable option, compensation is paid in the form of vouchers for future travel with Pleasant Holidays that are valid for any destination offered
Both options of the Travel Protection Plan are for land vacations, allowing travelers to cancel their vacation for any reason prior to departure and provide 100 percent commission protection for the travel advisor.
"Our new affordable Travel Protection Plan offers travelers peace of mind to book a great vacation package or honeymoon deal now," said Jack E. Richards, President and CEO. "Should their plans change, they can cancel or change the vacation for any reason at any time prior to departure."
