Can I receive Real Escapes Certificates from any LJ Hooker agency?

The Real Escapes promotion is available from participating LJ Hooker offices Australia-wide. In the absence of any promotion materials such as posters and brochures when visiting an agency, we suggest you enquire whether the agent you are considering signing on is participating in the promotion and which specific commissioned services the agent is rewarding with Real Escape Certificates.

How do I use my Real Escapes Certificates?

Each Real Escapes Certificate can be applied as a partial payment towards the cost of accommodation in rooms and apartments at participating hotels and resorts as well as some international cruises. The maximum amount of Certificates that you may apply towards a booking will depend on your specific choice of resort, room type and duration of stay. Accommodation rates and the maximum amount of Real Escape Certificates which you may apply towards each individual booking are detailed on this website. You then need to pay the outstanding cash balance for your specific booking. You will receive a credit for any part of a Certificate that you did not use which can be applied towards another future booking of your choice.

Your credit will have the same booking and travel validity dates as your original Certificate. You may combine full Certificates and credits towards a resort or holiday booking.

What if I don't have enough Certificate value to make up the maximum redeemable amount by Real Escapes Certificates? Can I pay the difference in cash?

Yes you can, but to receive maximum Real Escapes you should think carefully about how LJ Hooker can assist you with all facets of your real estate needs as additional services commissioned to LJ Hooker may earn you more valuable rewards towards your holidays.

Your accommodation payment is required upon confirmation of your requested resort accommodation and booking dates. This is the amount set out in the accommodation price chart for each property - less the maximum redeemable Real Escapes Certificates which is applied at this time.

How can I pay the balance of my accommodation or holiday charges?

Payment can be made by cheque, money order, bank transfer or with the following credit cards - Visa, MasterCard, BankCard (1.5% surcharge), Diners Club and American Express (3% surcharge). With payment by cheque, bookings can only be guaranteed upon receipt of cleared funds.

Should you cancel your accommodation booking after full payment is made, no refund applies. Resort extras are also non refundable and cannot be amended after your booking has been confirmed. However, you can amend your booking dates for your selected resort as often as you require up to 35 days prior to your booked arrival date for a processing fee of $25, and you can also transfer your accommodation booking to another party, without penalty or incurring amendment fees, only name amendments will be permitted within 35 days of arrival at your booked resort. No cancellations or amendments are permitted for "Last minute specials". At the sole discretion of RewardsCorp, and subject to the booked resort and the specific room inventory being utilised for another booking, cancellations and date changes may be permitted within 35 days prior to your booked arrival date, subject to a $100 fee.

What if my Real Escapes Certificate is lost or stolen?

Please keep your Real Escapes Certificates in a safe place as the value on each Real Escapes Certificate represents the same as a cash contribution towards the accommodation cost of a resort holiday. However, for your peace of mind, when you received your Real Escapes Certificates, the agent would have registered the serial number under your name in an online account.  This safeguards your Certificates against loss or misuse.

Do I need to keep my Real Escapes Certificates after I have made my bookings?

Your Real Escapes Certificate carries a unique serial number which is recorded on your online account at the time of booking. While you will not be required to present your Real Escapes Certificate to the resort at the time of checking in, we recommend you keep it as a record of your booking and you may wish to quote your serial number by phone to our reservations consultants when making your bookings.
