Trip Payment Policy
With so many trips planned, RWAS needed a better way to track reservations and cover our own upfront costs. We will still take telephone reservations, but we must receive payment within a week of calling as confirmation. All too often we hold seats, then found out a day or two before the trip that people have changed their minds about attending. Then we have to scramble to fill the seats or lose money. In the meantime, we may have turned others away who would have paid. As always, thank you for “Going Places” with Red Wing Area Seniors, Inc. If there are cities you would like to visit or places that you would like to see, please let us know. We welcome your suggestions.
Travel Payment Policy
Full payment is due at time of signing up for day trips. Deposit is due at time of signing up for extended trips. If you phone in your day trip reservation, payment must be received within seven (7) days or your name will be removed from the list.
Refund/Cancellation Policy
Medical or family emergency If the seats can be filled*: full refund
Medical or family emergency where RWAS will lose money: refund will be the amount that will allow RWAS to break even.
Personal reason if the seats can be filled*: full refund
If RWAS must cancel a trip due to low participation, full refund will be made.
*Although RWAS may work off a waiting list, we will not “recruit” someone to take your place.
