A night at one of the hotels, a meal at one of the
participating restaurants, or a trip to one of the participating
shops is all it takes to recover the price of your VisitAruba
Plus Card. In most cases, by using your card just once you will
have recovered the cost, and after that it's pure savings over
and over again, since you can use it as many times as you like
and always receive the discounts.
We accept payment by credit card only using:
Please do not send personal or banker's checks, we cannot except
these. Currently charging is done manually, which is why we
cannot except American Express or Discover credit cards. In the
future we may accept other cards, and introduce direct online
payment.
You need to be 18 years or older on arrival to be able to
order and use the VisitAruba Plus card. Each discount or offer
has information showing how the discount applies. Certain
discounts and offers, for example in the case of
land activities and
sea activities apply per card member, meaning to say that
the person whose name appears on the card will be entitled to
the discount. In the case of restaurants, for example, clearly
all the people having dinner will benefit since the discount
would apply on the bill for your table. Hotel accommodations in
most cases apply per room and the number of people entitled to
the discount or offer are specified in each
hotel or resort listing.
The 2008 card is valid until November 30, 2008, and there is
unlimited use of the card until the expiry date. When we send or
deliver your card, you will also receive a handy and informative
leaflet listing the card membership benefits, discounts and
special offers offered by all participating establishments. Any
new discounts and offers, sweepstakes and competitions for card
members will always be posted online in the VisitAruba Plus
section of our website, and if you subscribe to our newsletter
you will receive information directly via email. The rates
listed in the VisitAruba Plus section are the participant's
regular rates and were valid at the time they were printed.
However, all rates are subject to change without notice, so you
should always confirm the rate and your discount at the time you
make your reservation.
You can choose whether to have your card sent to you by
postal mail or to have it delivered to your resort. Shipping and
handling charges and delivery charges apply (see 'What is the
cost of the card?' above). In the application form you can
specify the delivery method you prefer. Please allow 6 weeks for
delivery by post from Aruba to the US. Postal delivery to
countries other than the US may take longer. The other delivery
option is for your card to be delivered to your resort to be
waiting for you upon your check-in. If your arrival date is less
than five (5) working days from your card membership application
date there will be an additional charge of US$2.00 for
preparation and prompt delivery to your resort at short notice.
This means that in order to qualify for certain discounts,
especially in the case of accommodations, activities, car
rentals etc, you need to contact the hotel, activity operator
(e.g. sailing, diving) or car rental company directly either
through their website's reservation form, via email or by
calling them or faxing them your booking. The word direct
implies that there is no middle-man or agent involved at any
stage of the booking process, and that you are dealing with a
representative of the hotel, activity operator or car rental,
for example. Always present your VisitAruba Plus Card at
check-in at participating hotels so the front desk staff can
make sure your discount is noted on your bill. Remember to
present your VisitAruba Plus Card when purchasing tickets at
attractions to receive your discount.
