Browser security and cookie settings

Why don’t I see any transactions in my account after I have placed an order?

Reporting of your purchase history may appear on your account between 2-10 days from the time of purchase. Note: Travel related purchases will take longer than 10 days to report, as it is not reported until completion of actual travel. If your purchase history does not appear on your account after 10 business days, your transaction may not have been properly tracked. Transactions are tracked by a “cookie” (cookie = a tracking software) on your computer. If the cookie is deleted for any reason, the transaction will not be recorded. Below are few reasons how this can happen:

— If you use a 3rd party software on your computer, such as Norton Anti Virus, McAffee, Spy Bot Search and Destroy, ABG, etc, these anti-virus programs can delete cookies.

— If your computer settings are set up not to allow cookies

— If the confirmation page timed out during completing your purchase.
