M&J Travel Club Rules
Deposit & Refund Policy:
- Day Trips - $20.00 per person deposit is required for all day trips unless a different amount is stated. Deposits must be received at time of reservation in order for names to stay on the sign-up list. Final payments are due 30 days prior to the trip departure (unless stated otherwise).
- Extended Trips – Deposit amounts vary according to each trip and will be detailed in brochures or newsletters. Reservations cannot be guaranteed until your deposit is received. Final payment dates vary and are also stated.
Refunds/Cancellations:
On all day trips, your deposit is fully refundable up to the final payment date. After the final payment date, you will receive a full refund if we can find a replacement for you. Exceptions are shows for which we have purchased non-refundable tickets. In this instance, a refund is made if we can find a replacement from our waiting list. If no waiting list is available, it is your responsibility to find someone to take your place. On extended travel, refunds vary and are dependent on the policies of our travel providers. Cancellation policies are explained in the individual brochures. Trip cancellation insurance is highly recommended.

Heritage Club:
In January 2000 we joined the Heritage Clubs International. This is an organization of banks in the United States that have travel clubs. There are eight travel vendors we work with to plan our extended trips. There is an annual meeting held every March that I attend to get ideas for future trips, visit with my peers on ideas to make our travel club even better. Each of the eight tour vendors presents their trips for the coming year.
Newsletter:
We have a newsletter that gives details about our upcoming trips. We have had trips fill up in less than five days after a newsletter goes out.
