My first hot deal....just received an email from Sandals for the following:
Sandals and Beaches Resorts Salute the troops with Operation Relax
We are happy to introduce you to Operation Relax, an exclusive program launched by Mr. Butch Stewart to show his support for the Armed Forces. Beginning May 9, 2003,Operation Relax will offer $2 million in complimentary vacations to troops currently serving in the U.S. military, at home or abroad. Active military personnel or spouses of those serving overseas can apply for a complimentary vacation beginning May 9, 2003 by downloading the application form from the Sandals or Beaches website at www.sandals.com or www.beaches.com.
?The United States has offered me every opportunity and I am grateful,? said Stewart. ?These people have given so much. It?s an honor to do something special for them and a great source of pride and pleasure that we can.?
Valued at $2 million, the company will give $1 million worth of complimentary four-day/three-night vacations directly to active members of the armed forces. An additional $1 million will be donated via a sponsorship program allowing consumers and travel agents to ?earn? vacations for service people from their local communities. When consumers book six or more nights in a premium room or higher and pay in full through their favorite travel agent, Sandals and Beaches Resorts will give that participating agency a complimentary three night vacation to distribute to a member of the armed forces in their area.
*** Both travel agent military sponsorships and military vacations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Vacations can be redeemed for up to two years upon issue date and cannot be resold, transferred or redeemed for cash. Restrictions apply and limit one sponsorship package per travel agency. Sandals and Beaches Resorts reserves full rights to authorize trips and some restrictions apply. Completed applications will be accepted through August 9, 2003. Individuals without internet access can call 1-800-SANDALS ext. 4163 to obtain an application. Airfare not included.
I have personally gone on a Sandals vacation to Jamaica...had a awesome time, and this is even better that it is free for our brave men and women. Kudos to our armed forces, you deserve it!
NOTE: I didn't see anything on the website regarding the application, but as stated, it will start on May 9th.
