Share the Love: Our New Referral Program

You’ve experienced our expert expertise and genuine care that go into planning your perfect getaway. Now we’re asking you to share that experience with the people in your life who’d truly appreciate it.

We’re launching our “Share the Love” referral program, and when your friend wins, you both win.

Why We’re Doing This?

We’ve built our reputation on one simple principle: treating every client like the individual they are. Whether you’re planning a milestone anniversary trip, a complex multi-country adventure, booking a package holiday, or finally ticking off that bucket-list destination, you deserve more than a ‘standard’ service and generic email response.

You deserve face-to-face support, genuine expertise, and someone in your corner throughout the entire journey. We are with you from that first “we’re thinking of going somewhere special” conversation right through to welcoming you home and hearing all about it.

Our best new clients come from people like you, customers who’ve experienced this level of service and know exactly who else would value it. This program is our way of saying thank you for spreading the word, while giving your friends, family, or colleagues a fantastic incentive to discover what makes book a holiday with us so special.

How It Works

If you’re an existing client:

Think of someone who’d genuinely benefit from our approach to travel planning. Perhaps they’re overwhelmed by options, unsure where to start, or they simply deserve that extra level of care and expertise for their next adventure.

Share our special referral booking link with them. When they book and complete a holiday planning meeting with us (entering your name when they book), they’ll be entered into our prize draw to win £250 in Gilly Bachelor Travel Expert travel vouchers.

Here’s the exciting part: if your referral wins, you automatically receive £250 in John Lewis vouchers as our thank you! You can refer as many people as you like throughout the campaign and each one who books and attends a holiday planning meeting with us gives you another potential win.

PLUS, through our Gilly’s Gems loyalty program, if anyone you refer books a holiday with us, they can choose to gift you a thank-you gift, or loyalty points worth £1 for every £1 they spend on their first booking. This applies regardless of the prize draw; it’s simply how we thank our wonderful customers for successful referrals.

If someone has referred you to us:

Welcome! Use the referral link they’ve shared with you to book your travel consultation, and make sure you enter their name in the referrer field when booking.

Attend your holiday planning meeting with us, where we’ll discuss your travel dreams, preferences, and how we can bring them to life. You’ll then be entered into our prize draw to win £250 in Gilly Bachelor Travel Expert travel vouchers to use towards a new package holiday booking.

And if you win, the person who referred you wins too! They’ll receive £250 in John Lewis vouchers as our way of thanking them for the introduction.

Who Should You Refer?

The beauty of what we do is that there’s no “perfect” traveller. But the people who benefit most from our service tend to share certain qualities:

  • They value expertise and want someone knowledgeable guiding their decisions;
  • They appreciate honest, genuine, personal service over automated systems;
  • They want to feel fully supported from the moment they enquire to the moment they get home;
  • They might feel overwhelmed by the complexity of international travel.
  • They could be booking a Jet2 Holidays or TUI package, cruise, tour or a completely bespoke adventure!

If that sounds like someone you know, they’re a perfect fit!

Running February Through April 2026

Our Share the Love referral program runs for three months, from February – April 2026. The prize draw will take place early May, and we’ll contact winners directly.
