Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Showcase Holiday Gems Promotion?

It's a fantastic offer where participating Showcase Jewellers stores are rewarding customers with a range of Holiday Gems Certificates for purchases between $500 and $3000 or more spent in-store during the promotion!

How do I get my Showcase Holiday Gems Rewards Certificate?

To receive a Holiday Gems Certificate you must spend a minimum $500 on ticketed price items (that is, the advertised price, not a discounted price) in-store in the same transaction at your participating Showcase Jewellers store.

How do I use my Holiday Gems Certificate?

Each Holiday Gems Certificate can be applied as a partial payment towards the cost of accommodation in rooms and apartments at participating hotels and resorts. Accommodation rates and the maximum eligible Rewards per booking are detailed in this website.

What is resort availability like? What about school holidays?

Availability of accommodation and other rewards are more readily available outside school holidays, public holidays, peak seasons and special events, and exclusions or surcharges may apply during these periods. Please call RewardsCorp on 1300 722 725 with your holiday preferences for up-to-date resort availability and recommendations. All requested booking dates are subject to promotion availability.

Is there a catch?

There is no catch. This is a fantastic promotion for a limited time offering huge holiday savings for Showcase Jewellers customers. You use Holiday Gems towards your accommodation costs and top up the balance with your own funds. It's that simple.

How is this offer possible?

To make this incredible exclusive offer to customers Showcase Jewellers has teamed up with the market-leading RewardsCorp - a company offering over 250 great resorts - in partnership with the finest hospitality brands.

Can I get Holiday Gems Certificates from all Showcase Jewellers stores?

Most Showcase Jewellers stores Australia-wide are participating in the Showcase Holiday Gems Promotion. However, in the absence of any in-store promotion materials or information, we recommend you determine if the store you are considering purchasing merchandise from is participating in the promotion.

How long is the Showcase Holiday Gems Promotion available for?

This is a limited promotion offer and is subject to withdrawal without notice so make sure you get into your Showcase Jewellers store without delay and secure a Holiday Gems Certificate.

What does 'Best Flexible Rate' mean in the accommodation price charts?

RewardsCorp offers resorts and holidays at competitive rates before applying your rewards towards your chosen holiday. If you find, at the time of booking, a lower 'flexible rate' than the published 'Best Flexible Rate' for the same booking - we will reduce the amount of rewards required to complete your booking by the equivalent amount.

When are the Holiday Gems Certificates valid to?

Each Reward Certificate is valid for 24 months from the issue date on the front of the Certificate. However, all accommodation must be booked within 18 months from the Issue date on the front of the Holiday Gems Certificate.

How do I find out more about the resorts?

Our reservations consultants can answer your questions on aspects of each resort, and the suitability of various resorts to your particular accommodation and holiday requirements. All accommodation enquiries must be made through RewardsCorp on 1300 722 725 Monday - Saturday 9am - 5pm. Alternatively, you can book online 24/7 through the website.

Are there resorts in any other holiday destinations other than those featured in this website?

New destinations and properties are continually being added to the Holiday Gems collection. Email reservations@rewardscorp.com with any other preferred resort destinations and we'll let you know if there are any new properties coming online at those destinations.

How do I book a holiday?

Call RewardsCorp on 1300 722 725 with your preferred resort(s) and holiday dates and RewardsCorp will be able to confirm your booking, or advise the closest available dates. Alternatively, you can book online 24/7 through the website.

Do I receive written confirmation of my booking?

Yes, you will receive a Resort Accommodation Voucher confirming your Booking Number, relevant details of your holiday booking, resort arrival instructions, confirmation of the Holiday Gems used and the balance of the accommodation charges paid by you, your original Holiday Gems serial number(s), and any other booking particulars requested by you.

What if I don't have enough value on my Certificate to make up the maximum redeemable amount by Holiday Gems? Can I pay the difference in cash?

Yes you can, however, why not return and purchase additional merchandise at your participating Showcase Jewellers store and receive another Holiday Gems Certificate?

When do I pay the balance of my accommodation booking?

Your accommodation payment is required upon confirmation of your requested resort accommodation and booking dates. This is the amount set out in the accommodation price chart for each property - less the maximum redeemable Holiday Gems which is applied at this time.

What Payment Methods are available?

Payment can be made by cheque, money order, bank transfer or with the following credit cards - Visa, MasterCard, BankCard (1.5% surcharge), Diners Club and American Express (3% surcharge). With payment by cheque, bookings can only be made upon receipt of cleared funds.

Will I be charged if I cancel or amend my booking?

Should you cancel your accommodation booking after full payment is made, no refund applies. However, you can amend your booking dates for your selected resort as often as you require up to 35 days prior to your booked arrival date for a processing fee of $25, and you can also transfer your accommodation booking to another party, without penalty or incurring amendment fees, only name amendments will be permitted within 35 days of arrival at your booked resort. No cancellations or amendments are permitted for "Last minute specials". At the sole discretion of RewardsCorp, and subject to the booked resort and the specific room inventory being utilised for another booking, cancellations and date changes may be permitted within 35 days prior to your booked arrival date, subject to a $100 fee.

How soon should I book my holiday?

To avoid disappointment we recommend that you book your holiday as soon as you have decided on your preferred hotel or resort and holiday dates. While there are a substantial number of hotel and resort options available for the Showcase Holiday Gems Promotion, a number of the participating properties are very popular. Although we strongly advise against leaving your booking as late as possible, we will accept bookings with a minimum 21 days booking notice required. Bookings will only be accepted within 21 days notice at the discretion of RewardsCorp.

Will I get a lesser hotel or resort room or apartment than if I was paying the normal price?

Absolutely not. This is a practise sometimes adopted by independent resorts where you will then be offered a standard room and an option to pay for an upgrade. With Showcase Holiday Gems your booking is processed by RewardsCorp through a computerised live link with its resorts. As such it is not possible for personnel at each resort to determine whether you are paying full rate or a heavily subsidised rate. In any event it is most resorts' guest check-in policy to provide the best rooms to arriving guests - and not to leave the best rooms vacant.

What if my Showcase Holiday Gems Certificate is lost or stolen?

You should treat your Showcase Holiday Gems Certificate as you would cash - as each Certificate represents $500 - $3000 savings off the accommodation cost of a hotel or resort holiday. So please keep a record of the serial number on your Holiday Gems Certificate and keep it in a safe place, and separately to your Certificate, in case they are lost or stolen.

Do I need to keep my Resort Cheque after I have made my bookings?

Your Holiday Gems carries a unique serial number which is recorded on your online account at the time of booking. While you will not be required to present your Resort Cheque to the resort at the time of checking in, we recommend you keep it as a record of your booking(s) and you may wish to quote your serial number by phone to our reservations consultants when making your bookings.
