Sunwing Vacations has relaunched its STAR Program for travel advisors, introducing a new payment provider and a limited-time promotion offering up to 10X STAR Points.

STAR Program redemptions had been temporarily paused since the spring as Sunwing transitioned to Berkeley Payments, its new payment provider, as part of an update to the program’s payment experience.

To mark the relaunch, Sunwing has introduced its STAR Party Promo, allowing travel advisors to earn up to 10X STAR Points at more than 100 participating resorts.

The promotion applies to eligible bookings made between Oct. 6 and Oct. 20, 2026.

Registration reopens

New registrations for the STAR Program have also resumed.

Travel advisors who were unable to register while enrolment was paused can now sign up through the Sunwing Agent Portal and begin earning STAR Points on eligible Sunwing bookings.

“Travel advisors are an incredibly important part of our business, and we’re proud to recognize the value they bring to Sunwing Vacations every day,” said Marek Andryszak, president of tour operations, in a press release.

“We’re grateful for their continued partnership and patience as we transitioned the STAR Program to our new payment provider. We know how much this program means to our advisor community, and we’re very pleased to have it back and continue rewarding advisors for their ongoing support.”

As part of the relaunched program, new physical STAR Cards will be mailed to advisors when they complete their first redemption of STAR Points to cash.

Travel advisors can visit the Sunwing Agent Portal for complete details on the STAR Program relaunch, FAQs, terms and conditions and information about the STAR Party Promo.
