NEW TRAVEL CREDIT
PLAN IN EFFECT
NEW YORK — Into the news
comes an announcement that will
bring cheer to the hearts of the
legions of substantial Americans
who want to travel but “can’t
spare the money just now.” The
announcement brings assurance
to millions that the slogan, "1940
is TRAVEL AMERICA YEAR,”
really means something after all.
From now on you can literally
travel and pay later.
A travel Credit Plan, sponsor
ed by 66 great railroads, makes
possible the purchase of railway
trips and tours in the same man
ner that you buy your car or
radio—on convenient payments.
The plan, which became effec
tive May 20 is exceedingly sim
ple. The prospective user merely
goes to the ticket office of the
cooperating railway over whose
lines he wishes to travel, or to a
travel agent, and makes applica
tion for credit in the amount of
the cost of the proposed trip or
tour. If the routine credit inquiry
indicates an ability to meet
monthly payments, he is notified
that his ticket is ready for him.
The only contact in connection
with the application is with the
ticket or travel agent, just as
though the ticket were being pur
chased for cash. The application
is passed upon within twenty
four hours.
Use of the Travel Credit Plan
requires no collateral—only the
signature of the individual. The
cost of the proposed trip however
must total $50 or more to be elig
ible for purchase on credit. No
down payment is required. There
is a nominal service charge for
the credit accomodation.
A nation-wide survey of the
vacation and traveling practices
of average Americans indicates
that many persons are frequently
forced to forego trips or vaca
tions because of financial strin
gency right at the only period
of the year in which they can
get away to enjoy themselves.
For such individuals or families
the credit service is seen as a veri
table boon.
Others will use the plan, it is
expected, who might have suffic
ient cash to make a trip, but who
would have to compromise on its
extent or would be forced to ec
onomize too rigidly in order to
meet normal expenses of travel
ing, apart from the actual rail
way fare. By taking advantage of
the credit for the purchase of all
or a part of the actual transporta
tion, the trip could be made in
proper fashion and with vastly
increased enpoyment.
As an example of the potential
money-saving advantages of the
plan, an addition to its conven
ience, a railway’s spokesman cit
ed the hypothetical case of an
eastern or midwest couple who
might plan a tour taking them
as far as Seattle but who would
be financially unable to make a
lomg-dreamed-of Alaska Cruise
from that point. Now, instead of
! abandoning that dream, or at
i least being put to the expense of
retracing the trip to Seattle and
; thence to Alaska at some impro
bable date in the future they
could use the travel credit plan
and go the whole way at one
time and at a great saving.
! Nearly all the of the railroads
in the United States are party to
this installment purchase plan,
which permits of travel any
where.
