Frequently Asked Questions
What is Happiness Assurance?
Happiness Assurance® is a luxury vacation plan that helps you enjoy 7 nights of resort lodging every year — for life.
Once you join, your annual lodging is included, with no long-term commitment and the flexibility to cancel anytime.
How is this different from booking online?
Online, you pay retail every time you travel. With Happiness Assurance®, your plan gives you a 7-night vacation lodging benefit every year — so your vacation dollars keep working for your family.

You receive 7 nights of vacation lodging at 2,000+ resorts, with properties like Hilton, Marriott, Westin, Hyatt, and Disney-area resorts.
Many stays include spacious suites or villas with a kitchen, living area, and resort amenities.
Will you help plan my vacation?

Can I bring family or friends?
Yes. Most accommodations are designed for 4–6 people, depending on the resort and unit type. You can vacation with family, friends, or another couple.

No. Enroll now, decide later.
There are no blackout dates, and you can choose your destination and dates later, subject to availability.
What about transport costs?
