You must reach the qualifying tier by April 30th each year to attend the Brewniversity Trip. If you qualify after 4/30 you will be invited to attend the following year’s trip.

You will receive an email in the spring with details, dates, and any information needed for the yearly trip.

Unfortunately, no. Travel dates are not subject to change and are non-transferable, as all airline reservations are booked by Taco Mac. These are group trips taken with fellow qualifying members. We understand wanting to share this experience with your favorite people, but we are unable to accommodate additional attendees. Only qualifying members will be able to attend each trip.

Taco Mac is required by the IRS to issue a 1099 for all rewards that exceed a value of $600. Each qualifying attendee is required to submit a W9 before airline and lodging reservations are made, so please ensure you return your W9 prior to or on the requested date, to avoid not being able to attend the trip. You will receive a 1099 to file with your tax return.

If you find that you are unable to attend the trip after committing, you must submit a written notice at least 60 days before the trip. If cancellation notice is not received within this timeframe, you will forfeit your trip and will not receive an alternate reward.

Upon qualifying, we will reach out to you every year for up to 3 years, to remind you of your qualified trip. After three years, if you still have not responded, we will remove you from the list and you will no longer be contacted about attending. If you for some reason aren’t receiving our communications, email [email protected] to make sure we have your updated email address.

You can update your name, e-mail address, phone number, home address and favorite location under MY ACCOUNT on the Mobile App.

If you forgot your password, select “Forgot Password?” on the mobile app to reset your password using your e-mail address. If you forgot your username, please reach out to [email protected] and we are happy to help recover your account.

Accounts are only eligible to be combined under the Bachelor tier, with a max combination of TWO accounts. You may not combine more than two accounts, so it’s important to use only one account when participating in the Brewniversity program.
