• You can't afford not to participate: Joining the program is free, and we handle all fulfillment, promotion, marketing and credit card costs; you pay a 20% commission on the face value of the redeemed card/certificate only when you get a reservation. If you redeem a $100 card on a $250 stay, your effective commission is only 8%.
  
  "Guests who redeem certificates usually spend more then their face value, so the actual commission winds up under 15%. Some returning guests first found us because of BedandBreakfast.com Gift Certificates." (Marjorie Ott, Olallieberry Inn, Cambria, CA)
  
  New commission schedule, effective October 1, 2008:
  • Up to $1,500 in redemptions in a calendar year: 20%
  • $1501 - $5000 in a calendar year: 17.5%
  • $5001 and up: 15%
  •  

The full 20% commission will be charged on all transactions, and a rebate check will be sent to innkeepers after the end of every calendar year for any amount due. The new commission structure will cost an average of $42 annually per property. Since the average gift card sale is $150 dollars and the average B&B stay is close to $350, the effective commission rate for the program is still under 10%. For the initial change in pricing, the term will run from October 1 through December 31, 2009 (15 months), so more properties will qualify for the lower rates.

For security reasons, some gift cards have the order number protected by a scratch-off coating. After removing the coating, you'll see the number you need. All BedandBreakfast.com Gift Cards are priced in U.S. Dollars. Canadian properties should be sure to enter the U.S. Dollar amount of the certificate that is being redeemed into our system. Canadian properties are responsible for converting the certificates/cards into the Canadian Dollar value, to be applied to the customer's payment.

BedandBreakfast.com will then automatically deposit 80% of the redeemed amount into your bank account via Direct Deposit, officially known as Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) within four business days for properties located in the United States, and within 6 business days for properties located in Canada. U.S properties who do not wish to use Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) can be sent a check; a $10 processing fee, per check, applies; one check can cover multiple certificates.
