Frequently Asked Questions
What is One Million Travelers for Charity? What is a TravelCard? (Top of Page)
One Million Travelers for Charity is a brand-new type of philanthropic business venture that makes it possible for anyone to use their routine travel and vacations to help raise money for ten important social causes. This unique campaign was developed by GO TravelCard.com, a socially-responsible referral travel site that will donate 10 percent of its annual commission to participating charities selected by travelers.
A TravelCard is a unique online booking tool that allows a traveler to select the charity of their choice whenever they book travel. The charity selected by the traveler will automatically receive 10% of the travel commission paid to GO TravelCard.com. Get started by deciding which of our ten social causes you are interested in supporting (animal welfare; arts and cultural institutions; civil and human rights; disaster response and recovery; education and literacy; environmental protection; health and disease prevention; people with disabilities; poverty and hunger relief; and veterans and public safety). If you decide to book a trip, 10 percent of the commission will be donated to the organization.
Who makes the donations? (Top of Page)
You take the vacation and GO TravelCard.com makes the donation! Like any other online referral travel agent, GO TravelCard.com is paid a commission from a host travel agent whenever someone uses our site to book travel. For each travel booking made, GO TravelCard.com will donate 10 percent of its commission it is paid to the charitable organization selected by the traveler.
How much does it cost to use a TravelCard? (Top of Page)
Nothing. You simply pay for the cost of your travel booking. We donate a portion of our commission. No fee or additional charge is added to the cost of a travel booking to make a donation possible.
How much does a charitable organization pay to register and participate? (Top of Page)
Nothing. Charitable organizations are never charged a fee to register or to be listed on our site.
Can I use more than one TravelCard? (Top of Page)
Yes. You can bookmark, use and share as many TravelCards as you like.
What does it mean to link a TravelCard? (Top of Page)
Many of us attend events that involve large groups of people traveling to common destinations to attend events such as weddings, family reunions, conferences, etc. You can link a TravelCard to such an event by asking each traveler to use a TravelCard to book their travel and select the charity you are supporting.
Many of us also attend events or engage in activities that attract a large number of potential travelers, such as annual galas, walkathons and social networking. You can link a TravelCard to such events by asking each participant to select your organization whenever they book travel during the year.
Is it easy to share a TravelCard? (Top of Page)
Yes. Simply use the "share" button located on any TravelCard to share with friends by email or a social networking site.
