1
00:00:08,108 --> 00:00:09,009
Welcome back!

2
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:12,912
Let’s dive into the essential rules
for managing your Membership payments,

3
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:16,349
understanding Pending
and Inactive statuses,

4
00:00:16,516 --> 00:00:19,152
and how to reactivate your account.

5
00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:23,390
Let’s start with a few booking rules
for new Members

6
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:25,725
once they activate their Membership plan.

7
00:00:26,036 --> 00:00:27,855
Once you’ve activated your Membership,

8
00:00:27,905 --> 00:00:32,932
you can immediately use your Reward Points
to book a cruise with INsider Pricing,

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,470
but you must do so at least 21 days
before departure,

10
00:00:37,837 --> 00:00:40,907
or 90 days if using Reward Points alone.

11
00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:42,208
For inStays,

12
00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:46,379
there’s a 14-day waiting period
before you can book with INsider Pricing,

13
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:49,616
which aligns with our 14-day Money-Back
guarantee.

14
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:51,451
Staying Active

15
00:00:51,918 --> 00:00:55,622
Most Members choose to stay active
to enjoy continuous benefits,

16
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:58,625
which requires making
monthly payments on time.

17
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:00,360
To make things simple,

18
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:03,596
we strongly recommend
setting up a Recurring Payment Profile

19
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:06,099
as soon as your Membership is activated.

20
00:01:06,666 --> 00:01:08,301
Here’s how to simplify this:

21
00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:10,503
Sign in to your inCruises account.

22
00:01:11,037 --> 00:01:15,542
On the left menu panel,
click ‘Payments’ and then ‘Invoices.’

23
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:18,411
Click ‘Add Card’
in the Recurring Billing window.

24
00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:20,547
Choose your preferred currency.

25
00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:23,474
Make sure it matches the currency
of the card you’re adding

26
00:01:23,516 --> 00:01:25,032
to avoid payment issues.

27
00:01:25,552 --> 00:01:28,321
Enter your payment card details
and confirm.

28
00:01:28,888 --> 00:01:32,659
Designate your “default” card
as the primary payment method.

29
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:37,664
Adding a secondary card as a backup,
ensures your membership remains active

30
00:01:37,897 --> 00:01:39,866
even if the primary card fails.

31
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:43,803
Your default card will serve
as the primary payment method.

32
00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:45,805
For added security,

33
00:01:45,905 --> 00:01:48,641
we recommend adding
a secondary card as a backup

34
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:51,077
to ensure
uninterrupted Membership benefits.

35
00:01:51,678 --> 00:01:53,713
When your monthly invoice is ready,

36
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,783
the system will automatically charge
the default card.

37
00:01:57,283 --> 00:02:00,587
If payment fails,
it will attempt to charge the backup card,

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,754
or cards.

39
00:02:02,222 --> 00:02:03,523
As a last resort,

40
00:02:03,723 --> 00:02:07,060
the system will use funds
from your inCruises Wallet Balance.

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:08,962
If all options fail,

42
00:02:09,062 --> 00:02:12,198
you’ll receive an email reminder
to make the payment manually.

43
00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:14,334
It’s important to know

44
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:18,037
that inCruises Membership doesn’t
require long-term contracts.

45
00:02:18,471 --> 00:02:20,540
Payments are made month-to-month,

46
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:24,277
and Members can cancel anytime
without further obligations.

47
00:02:25,111 --> 00:02:26,913
Now let’s talk about Staying Active.

48
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:31,084
Every month, active Members enjoy
access to INsider Pricing.

49
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:33,920
Additional Reward Points
with every payment.

50
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:36,856
The Retention
of the full Reward Point Balance,

51
00:02:37,023 --> 00:02:40,126
ensuring maximum value
from their Membership.

52
00:02:40,793 --> 00:02:44,164
Most Club Members choose
to remain Active Members indefinitely.

53
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:48,067
They love how their Membership
helps them develop an elevated lifestyle

54
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:50,003
with travel for years to come.

55
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:54,307
To maximize your Member Rewards,
here’s the best practice:

56
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:57,410
Pay your invoice as early as possible,

57
00:02:57,610 --> 00:03:00,613
ideally within the first five days
after receiving it.

58
00:03:01,114 --> 00:03:02,115
For convenience,

59
00:03:02,148 --> 00:03:06,085
you have a 30-day payment window
from the time the invoice is issued.

60
00:03:06,619 --> 00:03:10,723
Payments made within this period
keep your Membership active.

61
00:03:11,324 --> 00:03:13,359
What happens if you don’t pay?

62
00:03:13,726 --> 00:03:17,197
When an invoice is issued,
a 30-day pending period begins.

63
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:21,201
During this time,
unpaid accounts are considered “Pending.”

64
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:25,004
While pending, 
Members cannot book with INsider Pricing

65
00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:26,472
or use Reward Points.

66
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:28,841
To restore Active status,

67
00:03:28,975 --> 00:03:32,111
simply make the payment,
and all benefits will resume.

68
00:03:32,946 --> 00:03:35,348
Inactive Status & Reactivation

69
00:03:35,748 --> 00:03:40,420
If payment is not made within 30 days,
the account moves to inactive status.

70
00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:42,689
When an account becomes Inactive,

71
00:03:42,755 --> 00:03:46,426
any Doubled Reward Points earned
through monthly Membership payments

72
00:03:46,526 --> 00:03:47,460
will be lost.

73
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:51,598
Remaining Reward Points
in your account will be adjusted

74
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:55,201
to match the total amount
you personally paid for your Membership.

75
00:03:56,402 --> 00:03:58,871
All Reward Points received
through Membership Free

76
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:00,340
will be forfeited.

77
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:04,344
Inactive Members can still use
their remaining points

78
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:07,347
to reduce travel costs by up to 17%.

79
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:10,149
New Reward Points cannot be earned

80
00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:12,652
until the Membership is reactivated.

81
00:04:13,052 --> 00:04:16,756
And to reactivate, Members need
to make both an Activation Payment

82
00:04:16,923 --> 00:04:18,691
and a Monthly Membership Payment.

83
00:04:18,958 --> 00:04:21,961
Once reactivated,
they can immediately resume

84
00:04:22,061 --> 00:04:24,230
earning and using Reward Points.

85
00:04:25,064 --> 00:04:26,032
Finally,

86
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:29,636
let’s talk about flexibility and security.

87
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:34,274
All Membership payments are
100% protected by Trust My Travel,

88
00:04:34,641 --> 00:04:36,276
providing peace of mind

89
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:39,946
in case of any unforeseen
financial issues with inCruises.

90
00:04:40,246 --> 00:04:43,750
Keep in mind, though,
this is not trip-specific insurance.

91
00:04:44,183 --> 00:04:48,588
For additional booking protection,
consider inCruises’ Payment Protection

92
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:51,190
or third-party trip insurance.

93
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,327
Let’s quickly summarize the key features

94
00:04:54,494 --> 00:04:55,828
of Membership payments:

95
00:04:56,062 --> 00:04:58,464
Number one: Active Status.

96
00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:01,467
Make monthly payments within 30 days

97
00:05:01,567 --> 00:05:05,038
to maintain INsider Pricing
and Reward Point privileges.

98
00:05:05,538 --> 00:05:07,140
Number two: Payment Options.

99
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:11,511
Set up recurring payments
with a backup to avoid interruptions.

100
00:05:12,011 --> 00:05:14,113
Number three: Inactive Accounts.

101
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:17,083
Inactive status results
in lost privileges,

102
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,886
but accounts can be reactivated easily.

103
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:22,322
Number four: Payment Protection.

104
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:25,725
All payments are safeguarded
by Trust My Travel.

105
00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:27,927
So, stay active,

106
00:05:28,227 --> 00:05:30,163
keep maximizing your benefits,

107
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:33,232
and make the most
of your inCruises Membership!

108
00:05:33,766 --> 00:05:36,803
Now, let’s test your understanding
with a quick quiz.
