01) Do I have to become a member? NO! We are not a club and as such, no membership is required. There are no hidden fees or charges within the booking structure. The price you see advertised is the price you pay.

02) How do I save money by using standbyrooms.com.au? www.standbyrooms.com.au saves you money by offering heavily discounted rates which have been provided directly by the properties listed. Each property provides an inventory of left over rooms which they believe will not be utilised unless offered at discount rates.

03) Is my booking confirmed? Yes! Once the booking and payment have been received, this is a confirmed booking. All rooms are sold from an inventory provided by the property, and as each room is sold, their availability is taken from the system. We do not oversell our inventory.

04) Is my payment secure? Yes! The Westpac internet banking service offers a secure payment network, with an encryption of SSL Thawte Secure Certificate 128 bit.

05) Is my money safe once payment has been made? YES! All funds paid are kept in a trust account. Monies deposited into this account kept until the client has utilised their accommodation, and the supplier has been paid.

06) What is AWA's privacy policy? Information of all transactions is required to be held by law (for taxation purposes), however no information is passed to alternative sources for advertising or monetary gain. Properties will be supplied with your name, type of room required, arrival date and departure dates, expected time of arrival and any special requests or comments. Newsletters will be sent to all clients of Accommodation Wholesalers Australia from time to time, however should you wish to cancel this subscription at any time, just complete the remove from subscription text at the bottom of the newsletter sent.

07) How do I change my booking? Changes to reservations of under 3 rooms can be made up to 48 hours prior to arrival date at no charge (only 1 amendment is allowed per booking free of charge). Any additional amendments or amendments made within 48 hours of arrival date may incur an $11 fee per ammendment. (A reduction of rooms or number of nights booked will be treated as a cancellation).

08) Can I cancel my booking? A minimum of 72 hours notice is required to avoid property charges associated with the cancellation. An administration fee of $11 applies to each room booked and cancelled. If you will be utilising this service at a later date, an alternative option is to take a credit note towards your next booking (no fee applies).

09) I don't wish to pay online, Is there an alternate method? Yes! Phone our office staff and provide your details via the telephone and we will confirm your booking via e-mail on completion of the transaction.

10) How much do you charge for booking fees? There are no booking fees associated with making a booking online.

11) What if I want to book dates that are not listed on the site? Accommodation Wholesalers Australia offer all clients the opportunity to book through our alternative site www.accommodationwholesalers.com.au for dates not available on www.standbyrooms.com.au
