Riviera Travel Affinity Scheme
Are you planning to book a holiday through Riviera Travel? Are you interested in Riviera Travel donating 9% of your holiday cost to Camberley & District U3A? If the answers to both questions are yes, then please read on.
What is the Riviera Travel Affinity Scheme?
Riviera Travel is a company that provides a range of types of holiday. They advertise frequently in newspapers and magazines. Riviera Travel have an Affinity Scheme which can be used by any U3A and a number of other charities. Under this scheme Riviera Travel will make a donation to Camberley & District U3A equal to 9% of the basic cost of the holiday where the person booking the holiday mentions Camberley & District U3A at the time of booking. The cost of the holiday to the member is unaffected by using this scheme. It is a condition of the scheme that payments made by Riviera Travel go into the U3A’s funds and are not passed back to the person booking the holiday.
Please note that we are not recommending or promoting the use of Riviera Travel. However, if you are planning to book a holiday through Riviera Travel, please consider mentioning Camberley & District U3A when you book the holiday as the additional revenue which this scheme could generate for CU3A could help us continue to keep fees low and to invest in new and existing groups. Participation in this scheme is of course entirely voluntary.
How do I participate in the scheme?
If you decide to book a holiday with Riviera Travel and are making the booking by telephone, all you need to do is to mention that you are a member of Camberley & District U3A when you make the booking.
If you are booking online, you need to telephone Riviera Travel on the day you make the booking, or the following morning, to ask that your booking is logged with their Affinity Programme and that Camberley & District U3A is registered to receive the donation.
