Q: What are Upgraded Refund Terms?

A: Upgraded Refund Terms are an enhanced set of terms and conditions that make refunds possible when they often would not be provided. If you select Upgraded Refund Terms with your booking, you may be eligible for a 100% refund if you cannot attend your booking for a wide range of unforeseen and/or emergency circumstances, even when the official cancellation deadline for your booking has passed. Please see the additional FAQs in this section for more information about eligibility and the refund application process. Please note that Upgraded Refund Terms are administered by a third party and Project Expedition is not responsible for decisions made regarding an application for a refund.

Q: What happens if my circumstance is not included in the list of covered events?

A: If you feel your circumstance is “unforeseen” and/or an “emergency” but you cannot find it in the list of qualifying events, then we recommend you still apply via the online application form. The circumstance will be considered by our partner’s consumer-centric refund team. If it is found that your situation is not classified as an emergency or unforeseen, your refund application will likely be denied.

Q: Troubleshooting Declined Credit Card Transactions

A: General troubleshooting tips: - Most error messages regarding declined transactions come directly from the bank, not the Project Expedition system, so the most common cause of declined transactions on our website is due to the client’s bank blocking the payment from going through. Have your client call their bank to authorize the charges. - Make sure to type out the credit card information - copying and pasting into the credit card fields often leads to declined transactions. Troubleshooting zip code errors: - Double-check that the zip code matches the billing address attached to the credit card. - If you have a Canadian postal code, you will need to enter only the 3 digits followed by 00 into the zipcode field. For example, L3Z 1C1 would be formatted as 31100.

Q: What circumstances are excluded from the Upgraded Refund Terms?

A: Any circumstance that is not detailed in the Terms & Conditions and cannot be considered an unforeseen and/or emergency circumstance will not be eligible for a refund. We cannot give you a full list of exclusions due to the fact that “emergency circumstances” are considered on a discretionary basis. However, generally “I don’t want to attend/don’t feel like attending” is not a valid reason for a refund.
