FAQs

Why are hotel and cruise bookings complimentary?

Hotels and cruises treat travel advisors like a marketing channel, so they pay us a small percentage of the hotel cost as commission. Essentially, advisors get paid for this service, just not by you.

My credit card offers perks. How are yours different?

Travel rewards credit cards are amazing, and some—like Amex and Chase—can even get you special perks when booking hotels. And although the perks can be similar, your reservation isn’t seen the same way. When you book through Cade Travel Co., your reservation is prioritized for upgrades and perks (above cc programs), and I connect directly with the hotel staff ahead of your arrival so they know exactly who you are, ensuring the VIP treatment you deserve.

How do you have access to all of these exclusive perks and partners? What is Fora?

Cade Travel Co. is an independent affiliate of Fora, which means I have access to Fora's industry partnerships and affiliations (like the invite-only Virtuoso hotel consortium and brand-specific programs like Belmond Bellini), a community of other travel-obsessed advisors who are constantly sharing their feedback on destinations across the world, and hundreds of hours of training resources. 

Can I get access to your perks if I have already booked my hotel?

Maybe! If you booked directly with the hotel property and did not use points, forward your confirmation to lindsey.cade@fora.travel, and I will check for you.

When should I work with you?

My services are designed to support bringing your travel vision to life, no matter how big or small your trip. In fact, the more we work together, the more in tune I will be with your preferences and travel style. I am happy to help with something as small as a tour or hotel booking, all the way through a milestone or once-in-a-lifetime itinerary.
