2. Mechanics: All registration submissions and eligibility requirements are subject to verification at any time during the reward program.
Registered participants must log on to the program website and submit valid and complete Cruise Norway cruise booking information online. The Cruise Norway Rewards Program Website is not an online booking engine but a tracking website only. The date of booking will be used for the purposes of registering qualified bookings within the program time periods. Separate verification and validity of cruise bookings will be sent to the participating travel suppliers. We reserve the right to disqualify cruise booking submissions when verification is incomplete regardless of when submitted, how it was verified or the final disposition of validity. Administrator reserves the right to modify, change, or correct cruise booking submissions for any reason and at its sole discretion.
The Cruise Norway Rewards Program will begin on January 13, 2008 and run for twenty (20) consecutive weekly booking periods, ending on May 31, 2008. Registered participants log on and enter all valid and eligible Cruise Norway bookings made during the session’s twenty (20) weekly booking periods beginning on Sundays at 12:00 am and ending on Saturdays at 11:59 pm. It is not required that bookings be entered during the week in which they were made.
Eligible bookings are those made with the suppliers listed on the Cruise Norway Rewards Program supplier page and those including Norway in their itinerary and that are booked for travel after January 13, 2008.
Participants receive one entry into a random drawing for each eligible booking that they log into the Cruise Norway Rewards Booking database for each week of the program. A randomly selected booking will be chosen each week from the total number of bookings entered. The participant who entered the randomly selected booking will receive a $250 cash reward prize. Booking verification and the eligible booking period will be determined by the booking date entered by the participant. The “booking date” is the actual date that the reservation was made with the listed supplier. Any bookings entered in a weekly booking period different than the verified weekly booking period will be disqualified.
3. REWARDS: Twenty (20) $250 Weekly Rewards. Limit one Weekly Prize per agent. (odds of winning the weekly reward prizes depend on the number of total bookings entered by all participants and the number of bookings made by individual participants).
