GLEN BURNIE, Md., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- A new partnership between two industry leaders gives potential clients the opportunity to make their vacation dreams a reality. Travel Advantage Network (TAN) and M&T Bank's progressive program allows TAN clients to finance their vacation packages with the benefit of the M&T credit card program, which features the WorldPoints(TM) rewards program and no annual fee. This type of venture is a first for both organizations.
"Our mission is to integrate vacations into lifestyles. We believe it's a fundamental component of achieving work/life balance," says Brad Callahan, TAN president. "The value of the M&T credit card program to TAN clients is priceless. Those families not able to take advantage of the TAN program in the past for financial reasons now have alternative solutions. Providing that option is important to us, as well as the organizations we choose to partner with. We're proud to be aligned with M&T Bank."
TAN's vacation program is founded on a unique style of travel; wholesale priced condominium vacations. This concept of customized, prepaid vacation blocks has remained TAN's focus since its inception. The program includes over 600 properties in 20 states, from Maine to Hawaii, as well as Mexico and the Caribbean. Over 65,000 families are currently vacationing with TAN. Regional sales providers, located from Texas through the Mid-Atlantic, will offer the M&T credit card program to potential TAN clients.
"We are thrilled to launch this program with TAN," states Woody Collins, president of M&T Bank's Mid-Atlantic Region. "Partnering with a vacation program is a first for us. Not only will new TAN clients have access to great travel opportunities, they'll enjoy our credit card program benefits as well."
