You have worked very hard to earn your Above & Beyond!™ Award. Now it’s time to kick back, relax, and allow us at The Journeymasters to book your ideal getaway.
Here we list our 15 most frequently asked questions and answers for your convenience. Of course, you can always contact us if you have any other questions about your award or if you are ready to redeem! You can call us toll free at 1 (800) 875 3422 Monday through Friday, between 9:00 am and 5:30 pm EST, or email us at action@journeymasters.com
Once you submit your redemption form, a member of The Journeymasters Redeem Team will contact you within 24 business hours.
We will make your reservations and notify you within 24 hours that your reservations are complete. Otherwise, we will contact you with any questions we may have. Reservations should be made at least 60 days prior to travel. The Journeymasters will charge a $50 service fee for reservations made inside of 60 days. We send your travel documents via UPS Second Day Air delivery, with signature required (please have someone available to sign). There is a $50 per person change fee to make changes after The Journeymasters have made your reservations, so please make sure your chosen travel dates are solid before finalizing reservations.
Of course we will! We will check two dates you request for availability. If the space is available, and you instruct The Journeymasters to check another set of dates, a service fee of $25 per date checked will be incurred. To avoid these charges, please be mindful to give us dates that you are sure you can travel.
Yes. If you are a member of an airline’s frequent flyer program, please let us know and we will be sure to associate your number with your ticket.
Yes, we would be happy to help you extend your getaway! Please note - you are responsible for the additional cost of extending your trip. Rates for an extended stay vary with each destination or cruise line. Contact us today for the current additional costs. Ask us about combining awards to cover the extension cost.
Yes! Rates for children staying in the same room as their parents vary with each destination or cruise line. Contact us for the most up-to-date rates. Keep in mind that some resorts are adults only. Look for our useful “family friendly” icon in our printed catalog and on our website to know which properties allow children.
All travelers will need a valid government issued photo I.D. (like a drivers license) when travelling within the U.S. If you are travelling out of the country, including Canada, you must have a valid passport. Please be sure that the name on your ID exactly matches the name you give us for your airline or cruise line ticket.
If you are travelling with children: if both parents are accompanying the child, you will only need a valid passport when leaving the country. If only one parent is accompanying the child, it becomes a bit more involved. Please call The Journeymasters at 1 (800) 875-3422 and our Redeem Team will explain the requirements.
Note: Please remember that if you are not a US citizen, including Canadian citizens, you will have to check with your country’s embassy for all travel document requirements.
There is a $50 per ticket ticketing fee that is collected at the time of ticketing. In some instances there will be a surcharge of maximun $100 per ticket, especially when travelling to Hawaii.
If you must cancel outside of our normal business hours, please follow these steps:
We will check if the hotel or cruise you have selected has any blackout dates, when they will not accept reservations from us (typically during holidays, school vacations, etc.). Hotel blackout dates are subject to change without notice.
You have one full year from the date you received your award to redeem your award without a possible price increase. After one full year, your award is subject to surcharges due to the ever-changing prices in the hospitality industry.
Your airline ticket includes a seat assignment if possible, a carry-on bag, and a personal item, such as a briefcase or purse. Your ticket does not include a checked bag.

Please call us for the exact baggage fee on your airline or visit the airline’s website directly.
