* Changes and Cancellations: All Apple-imposed revision fees are waived and are available for unlimited use so long as Travel Protection Plus remains on the reservation. Canceling or changing your vacation at any time before departure without costly revision fees does not include non-refundable properties. If a canceled reservation is rebooked within 7 days, Apple Vacations-imposed penalties are waived, but supplier penalties may apply. Additionally, Travel Protection Plus (TPP), if selected, is considered unused if there are no supplier penalties, and can be moved to the new reservation for first instances without a reactivation fee. When rebooking 8 days or more after initial cancellation, normal fees apply, and TPP is considered used. The state specific free-look period indicated in the Plan Documents still applies. A "lap" child under the age of 2 who shares a seat with an adult is covered under the adult's policy. Advance cancellation time is based on airline’s no-show policy. Some airlines have stricter no-show policies, and you must cancel more than two hours in advance of scheduled departure. If you are cancelling a land-only reservation, you must cancel at least two hours prior to your hotel’s check-in time.

** Travel Credits are valid for travel commencing within 395 days of original departure date; are nonrefundable, nontransferable, not redeemable for cash; and must be used by expiration date. Travel credits will be issued in the names of the adult (18+) passengers on the original reservation. Reimbursement must be requested within 60 days of the date of cancellation. When a booking with TPP full Travel Credit is canceled, and a new reservation is made and then canceled, any portion of the new reservation paid with travel credit will be reimbursed as travel credit, even if the Cash-Back option was purchased for the new booking. If you opt to repurchase Travel Protection Plus on a rebooking paid with travel credit, partially or in full, select the Full Travel Credit plan to avoid unnecessary expense; only payments made with a credit card can be refunded as such. All travel credit payments will be reimbursed as travel credit.

*** For the Price Guarantee to apply to the hotel portion of the reservation, the price adjustment must be made to the reservation while the lower Apple rate is available. Price Guarantee also covers the air portion of Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flight packages.

*^ The Hurricane Travel Credit applies for vacations departing June through November. While in destination, if your Apple vacation is interrupted for 24 hours or more due to a Category One or greater hurricane, you will receive a refund for unused or interrupted vacation nights plus a "Fresh Start" certificate for a future vacation. "Fresh Start" certificate amounts: $100 per adult, $50 per child for Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights and $25 per person for Scheduled Air Vacations. "Fresh Start" certificates are non-transferable and are not redeemable for cash and can be used on a Apple vacation for travel any time (excluding holidays) for one year from the original departure date. A qualifying disruption occurs when your hotel requires you to be displaced from their room for 24 hours or more due to the result of a Category One or greater hurricane and does not apply to hurricane watches, warnings or tropical storms. The Hurricane Travel Credit Plan applies to the nights you are displaced from your hotel if a comparable hotel of equal or greater hotel rating is not provided.
