The travel agent with the most bookings during the contest promotional period will be awarded the grand prize of a three-night stay for two at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami, FL. The grand prize package includes coach round-trip airfare for two, a rental car (must be at least 25 years old) and a welcome amenity, Travel Impressions says.

As part of the 31 Days of Giveaways promotion, travel agents can earn up to four entries per qualifying booking, including group reservations that are made over the course of the promotion and will be entered to win one of the prizes awarded during the month of August. 

Agents earn one entry for bookings that are a minimum of three nights at any property and two entries for three-night (minimum) reservations at one of the prize properties. Three entries are earned for every booking that is a minimum of five nights at any property, while four entries are earned on bookings that are a minimum of five nights at one of the prize properties.

While individual agents can win only one of the daily prizes, they can also qualify for the grand prize based on their total number of bookings during the contest period.  Travel agents earn a 1 percent bonus commission when booking travel packages online with Quest for Agents.
