FAQs for trips - you'll want to read before you sign up
Q. What should I do to prepare for online trip signup?
A. The number 1 thing is to check your login as early as possible before online signup opens, meaning more than one day before, a week or more is better.
Do it now, do it today, don't delay, and the more likely you'll be ready to go at the opening time.
Secondly, - Be prepared to pay for your trip with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a credit or debit card (Visa or Mastercard).
And very recommended! - Watch the video demo and try a practice signup to better know what to expect.
Q. When do online trips signups open and when do they close?
A. Signup begins in early October, usually on a Sunday evening, with trip openings spaced out over a few hours. Announcements of the date and time can be found in the club newsletter. Trips will close for online signup about a week before the trip starts, or earlier for those with flight arrangements or complex planning. After signup closes, you’ll need to contact the trip coordinator who has the latest information on availability.
Q. What's this about a lottery system to sign up?
A. Yes! First choice for trips will be by a lottery system to make signup as fair to all as we can. Read about how the lottery works.
Q. I have some questions about the trip itself. Who can answer them?
A. Email the trip coordinator listed in the trip description.
Q. How do I know what ticket type to select?
A. Generally, there are three choices: A single bed (usually in a double occupancy or room shared with another), double bed (usually a queen or king), or the Waitlist, in which the trip coordinator will contact you if there's an opening.
Q. The trip we selected has only single beds. How do two people sign up?
A. You can select 2 single beds. That's the lodging arrangement if double beds aren't shown, typically twin beds, bunks or double-queens.
Q. What else do I need to know when signing up?
A. We'll ask for an emergency contact and a few simple questions. Also, if you sign up for another, we'll need their name.
Q. The beds are all taken. What should I do?
A. You can join the waitlist online. There are often openings, even at the last minute, so there’s a good chance you may get to go and there's no commitment or penalty. Sometimes we are also able to open up more beds, so your waitlist place may get you on the trip. You can always sign up for a different trip too.
Q. The website stalls or is unavailable when I try to sign up. What's the problem?
A. The system capabilities get overloaded when there's a lot of activity. Think of it like a pinch point on a freeway; there's a lot of backups before the tunnel with cars slowly exiting the other side. Spacing out the signup times helps to alleviate things too. It can be frustrating, but most people who experienced the "mad rush" when we did in-person signups with paper still prefer the online system.
Q. How do I tell if I am signed up for a trip or on the waitlist?
A. Look on the website under the menu For Members, select My Profile then My Event Registrations. You should also receive an email once your signup completes. You can also check with the trip coordinator.
Q. What if I have other questions now or issues during signup?
A. Contact the website admin.
