Since you are about to ask, per the FTU FAQ page:

What is your refund policy?

In-person events – We realize plans can change. You may transfer your in-person Frequent Traveler University event ticket to another individual not later than 4 days prior to the start of the event for a fee of $25 by contacting us at info@ft.events, but no refunds will be provided.

Frequent Traveler University Online Memberships – FTU Online Memberships and their resulting event tickets (Virtual Seminars and in-person events) cannot be transferred to another individual or refunded.

Travel & Adventure Show tickets – T&A Show tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded.

What happens if an in-person event is postponed because of COVID-19?

If a scheduled in-person Frequent Traveler University event date is postponed due to existing government-mandated travel restrictions or similar related to SARS-CoV-2, also known as “COVID-19″, pre-registered event attendees will be given the choice of attending the re-scheduled event with a later date or receiving a voucher or coupon so that they can attend a similar event in the extended future.

What happens if an in-person event is cancelled because of COVID-19?

If a scheduled in-person Frequent Traveler University event is completely cancelled rather than rescheduled, Frequent Traveler University may offer all pre-registered event attendees a full refund of the price they paid for the event ticket, back to the original form of payment.

Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for more details, or contact customer service at info@ft.events.
