5 ways to maximise your $200 Luxury Escapes COVID-19 vouchers
Get a bonus from your vaccination and save money on your next international holiday.
It almost sounds too good to be true, but it's real. To encourage Aussies to get their COVID-19 shots, Luxury Escapes has announced new travel vouchers in an incentives program for up to 1 million people.
Each eligible person will receive a $200 voucher to spend on any international booking with Luxury Escapes.
If you've been doing EOFY trip planning, these deals have dropped at just the right time.
How can I get Luxury Escapes vouchers?
Getting a hold of your vouchers is a simple 3-step process:
- Get your COVID-19 vaccination. Register with your local health authorities or attend a clinic to receive your free vaccination. You only need to get your first dose to be eligible for the promotion.
- Provide proof of vaccination. Log in to Luxury Escapes and enter your contact and vaccine details.
- Receive your $200 Luxury Escapes voucher. Get a promo code to use at checkout for any international offer.
Where can you use your Luxury Escapes vouchers?
Unfortunately, these vouchers can't be used on all packages and deals on the site.
The vouchers are only valid for international "Limited Time Lux Exclusive" offers, international tours and cruises.
At the moment, Australians are only permitted to travel to New Zealand, but you can use your vouchers on future international travel in 2022 and likely 2023.
What flexibility do you have with Luxury Escape vouchers?
In terms of cancellations and refunds, packages booked with these vouchers are subject to the full terms and conditions of all other Luxury Escapes deals.
If you're keen to travel internationally but you're not ready to commit to anything yet, don't fear: the promo codes don't expire until 30 June 2022, so that's just over a year to wait and see what conditions are like before booking.
