Refer a Friend Rules

The referral program is valid for new trips booked as of January 1, 2012.

Rules & Regulations for Past Passengers Using Refer A Friend (Known as the ‘Referrer’)

1. Referrer must be past passengers to qualify. Verification is required before promotion will be added to the Referee’s booking.

2. You can refer as many passengers as you’d like! You must provide full first and last names as it appears on the Referee’s passport and a valid e-mail address (e.g. you may not enter your own e-mail address or repeat the same address more than once). We will issue up to five (5) $100 e-gift cards per referrer per calendar year. Referees must be new passengers. Repeat referrals of the same passenger will not be honored. Not combinable with Past Passenger discount.

3. The Referrer must add the Referee's details correctly to the Refer A Friend site within seven days of the Referee creating the reservation with his/her Contiki Specialist and paying the deposit. Contiki is not responsible if a Referrer fails to properly identify a Referee. Contiki will not retroactively record a friend whose information was incorrectly inputted into the referral form.

4. Cash will be emailed in the form of an Amazon e-gift card with a value of $100 approximately six to eight weeks after travel. E-gift card will be issued to Referrer only after Referee completes travel on their trip of eight days or longer. If a Referee cancels for any reason, the referral reward is forfeited.

5. Offer valid for tour purchases made in the U.S. only. Referrers must reside in the United States, Mexico, or South America.

Rules & Regulations for New Passengers Using Refer-A-Friend (Known as the ‘Referee’)

1. Referees must be between 18-35 years old at the time of travel.

2. To apply the Refer A Friend promotion, the Referee must request it by mentioning “Refer A Friend” and the Referrer’s name at the time of booking (or up to seven days from paying the deposit) any Contiki tour 14 days or longer.  A Contiki specialist will verify that the Referrer is a past passenger and has completed the process online before adding the promotional code to the booking.

3. The Referee will receive a $100 Optional Excursion voucher in their travel documentation. The original Optional Excursion voucher must be redeemed while on his/her trip and cannot be exchanged for cash reimbursement.

4. The Referee is responsible for reviewing his/her travel documentation and making sure he/she received the Optional Excursion Voucher prior to their departure. Contiki will not issue a cash refund to a passenger for any Optional Excursion because the Referee paid the tour manager directly, forgot to pack or bring the voucher on the tour, did not use the entire value of the voucher, loses the voucher, or advises us after their travel that he/she did not receive the voucher.

5. Contiki will not allow a Referee to be claimed by more than one Referrer. Once a Referee’s e-mail address has been given, it may not be changed.

6. Referees must reside in the United States, Mexico, or South America
