Frequently asked questions

What does the membership include?

Member access may include the AEFE Travel Marketplace, travel opportunities, hotel and dining savings, airport-comfort admissions where eligible, travel-planning tools, education and the AEFE Travel Store. Every benefit has its own eligibility, availability, fees and deadlines.

Who is this membership best for?

It is intended for travelers who expect to take multiple trips, can be flexible with dates or destinations and are comfortable comparing options before booking.

Are travel savings guaranteed?

No. Pricing and availability can change. Savings depend on the booking or eligible purchase and should be evaluated by comparing the same dates, room or cabin type, cancellation policy, taxes and fees.

What does good standing mean?

You must maintain an active membership and comply with the AEFE Membership Agreement and applicable terms. AEFE may confirm your status and remaining benefit allowance before fulfilling a request.

Where can I find membership renewal or cancellation rules?

The supplied fact sheet directs members to the membership agreement for renewal, cancellation and related terms. That agreement governs; certificate cancellation rules are not membership cancellation rules.
