TriMega will reimburse each "dues paying member dealership" for up to two nights at the TriMega group room rate for each hotel. Dealers who must travel 100 miles or more to the meeting in your assigned region can submit for 2 nights of hotel reimbursement (for Wed & Thur) nights. Click here for details.

Why do some dealers only get reimbursed for one night?

You may remember that in the past, TriMega only reimbursed members for one room night for the Regional Meetings. Based on feedback from members that have to travel from far to attend the meeting in their region, we increased the number of room nights reimbursed to (up-to) two. This allows those dealers who must travel further than 100 miles to a meeting to arrive the Wednesday evening, and depart on the Friday (two hotel nights). Most dealers within 100 miles travel to the meeting the morning of (Thursday) and depart Friday and therefore only require one night hotel stay.

When do hotel reservations need to be made by?

The TriMega group rate is available until the dates listed below — so be sure to make your reservations early! Reservations made after these dates are accepted based on availability at the prevailing guest room rates. Book now.
