Golden Horizon Travel LLC accepts all major credit cards including Master Card, Visa, Discover, American Express, Debit Cards, Euro Cards, and “Cartes Bleues.”

We also accept wire transfers from tour operators and travel agents. Please note that some foreign credit cards may be subject to additional fees due to the currency conversion and credit card-associated transaction fees. We also accept PayPal and some Chinese and Japanese credit cards as well with specific terms of use. When you accept to allow the process of your payment on our website, you understand and accept our terms and conditions, rates and tour prices posted online and the currency conversation fees and that the transaction will be charged for the full amount. You may not dispute these charges under any circumstances after you submit your order on our website. We assume no responsibility for no-shows and incorrect address or pick-up location provided by our customers.



When transaction is declined, your own bank may hold on this required amount for few days but that doesn’t mean you have been charged. All transactions are between you and whatever you enter on the website that is out of our control. We will however do our best to clarify any misunderstanding in this regard.

 

Merchant Receipt and Tour Confirmation

Your debit or credit card will be charged immediately after confirming your purchase on our website. You will receive an automated email with the merchant receipt confirming your purchase; however, you will not receive an email or notice from Golden Horizon Travel if your PayPal, debit or credit card declines. If your card declines, you will need to resubmit a new reservation with a different card and please ensure that billing address and zip code match your credit card and bank account (statement). A second email will be sent to you once payment has been processed and accepted. Please note that all reservations are subject to availability even if it is approved. All refunds and/or voided transactions are subject to the above "refund fees" and may take up to 5 to 10 business days before your funds are transferred back into your account.



Declined Credit Cards and Returned Transactions

Please note that if your transaction is declined, you will not receive any email or notice from Golden Horizon Travel. Please resubmit your reservation with a different credit card and ensure that you enter in the correct billing address and zip code that is associated with the credit card you are providing.
