No refunds will be made for partially used or unused services, including hotel/condominium accommodations.
Accelerated Redemption:
You may accelerate the redemption process for a Resort Week at any time during your Program Year by paying, at the time you redeem and reserve your Resort Week, the difference between the accumulated savings amount in your Savings Plan Account, and the amount required to fully fund your account to pay the Redemption Expense. Accelerated redemption DOES NOT relieve your obligation to continue making Monthly Deposits into your Savings Plan Account for the remainder of the Program Year. Accelerated Redemption allows you to travel earlier than the end of your Program Year or to redeem a Resort Week more than one time per Program Year should you desire to travel more often.
Non-Redemption:
Following Savings Plan Funding, you have a period of twelve (12) months during which you can redeem your Resort Week. Additionally, as provided herein you can accelerate redemption of your Resort Week at your discretion. If, more than twelve (12) months following Savings Plan Funding, or twenty four (24) months following your Enrollment Date, you have not redeemed your Resort Week, GI, in its sole discretion, may choose to fulfill your Resort Week directly to you by issuing a certificate redeemable for that a Resort Week for a destination of your choice, within the limitations of your plan (“Resort Week Certificate”). with your plan. You may use this Resort Week Certificate for up to twelve (12) months following its issuance, meaning you will have a total of twenty-four (24) months following Savings Plan Funding or thirty-six (36) months following your Enrollment Date to redeem a Resort Week. Should you not redeem your Resort Week Certificate within twelve (12) month of its issue, you will forfeit your right to any Resort Week redemption.
Cancellation of Membership:
You may cancel your Membership at any time, subject to the cancellation terms provided herein. You may cancel your Membership at no cost to you within fifteen (15) days of your Enrollment Date (“Initial Cancellation Period”). After the Initial Cancellation Period, your Annual Enrollment Fee is non-refundable. Should you elect to cancel your Membership after the Initial Cancellation Period, you have the option to (i) cash out your Savings Plan Account, or (ii) redeem your Resort Week. Should you elect to cancel and cash out your Savings Plan Account, you must send a written notice of cancellation by certified mail to us at: Grand Incentives, Customer Relations Department, Attn: Grand Vacations Billable Returns, 7560 Commerce Court, Sarasota, FL 34243. You will receive the return of the amount in your Savings Plan Account, less a thirty percent (30%) account administration fee (“Administration Expense”), and less the Annual Enrollment Fee, within thirty (30) days of our receipt of your cancellation notice. Should you elect to cancel and redeem your Resort Week, your current Savings Plan Account balance (less the Annual Enrollment Fee) will be applied and you will be obligated to pay whatever outstanding balance is needed to fully fund your Savings Plan Account to pay your Redemption Expense.
