When you associate/link a bookmark, photo or blog entry with a product page in Gusto, you're enabling other Gusto members to see what you've added to Gusto when they look at that product page.

For example, if you have some amazing photos you took on your trip to Paris, associating/linking them with the Paris page will let other members see your photos when they look at Gusto's Paris page. Even better, you can also associate/link photos more specifically, so that someone looking at the Eiffel Tower page will be able to see your great Eiffel Tower shot. If you associate/link a photo more specifically like this, it will automatically be added to the corresponding city, state/province and country pages, as well!

If you've read a great article about visiting Chicago that you think others would enjoy, associating/linking it with Gusto's Chicago page will allow other members to easily see it. Or if you think others could benefit from your blog entry about your visit to San Francisco, be sure to associate it with Gusto's San Francisco page.

Your Gusto blog is another way for you to share information with other Gustonians. Here, though, you can discuss whatever you want, rather than reviewing a specific place. To start a blog, go to your mygusto blog section and click Create New Blog Entry. A box will pop up where you can title your blog, assoicate it was a specific Gusto page if you wish, choose a category and folder for it, enter tags to indentify common themes, and decide whether you want other users to make comments on it.

No. If you have your privacy settings set to allow anyone to see your bookmarks, then non-members can see them. But your friends can't leave comments on your bookmarks unless they're Gusto members.

_{Back to top}

Tags identify common themes and allow you and others to quickly find bookmarks with related information. For example, if you're bookmarking the Avenues restaurant in the Peninsula Chicago hotel, your tags could include: Avenues, restaurant, Peninsula, Chicago, hotel.

If you're using Internet Explorer, select Properties, then copy the photo's URL; if you're using Mozilla Firefox, select Copy Image Location. Then, on your bookmark, click Edit, and put the URL you just copied into the Image URL box and click Submit.

As a travel community, Gusto is all about sharing information. We understand that you might want to keep some information to yourself, which is why you can set privacy settings on your other bookmarks, as well as photos and blogs, and you can also control who is able to send you messages or leave you comments. But we like to think of places i've been bookmarks as recommendations of sorts, where you can quickly and easily store and share your experiences, and for that reason, those bookmarks are public for everyone.

_{Back to top}

Yes you can. You can limit who sees your bookmarks to just your friends or to just you. Simply go to your personal Gusto home page, then click on 'Edit your privacy settings.' In the screen that opens on the left, use the drop down menus next to places I'm going and my other interests to adjust your privacy settings accordingly, then click the blue Submit button.

Then click Upload and wait while your photos upload. You'll be taken to the photo album with the newly uploaded photos as soon as Gusto has finished processing your photos.

If so, in your mygusto photos folder under Upload/Import Photos, you can click the link to the photo service you use, then copy the URL of your photo album at that service into the URL box following the site-specific directions for that service.

Use the "View/Cancel Reservation" link provided on the Travel Reservations page.

_{Back to top}

When you are completing the Credit Card Information page, the Cancellation Policy will be provided at the bottom of the page. You can also view the property information page to find the cancellation policy. These policies will vary from lodging to lodging, so you must read each one carefully. In general, the standard increments are that you must cancel the room(s) by 4 or 6 PM on the arrival date, or 24, 48, or 72 hours prior to your specified arrival; however, these are just general guidelines and the specific policy of the property will prevail. If you cancel before the deadline, generally you will not be charged a penalty. Canceling after the stated period will result in a cancellation penalty fee. Some reservations are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled after booking.

Reservations will apply a cancellation fee regardless of the timeframe of cancellation. If the cancellation is outside of the time allotted, you may be charged for one night's stay including tax recovery charges and service fees. Please read the specific cancellation policy provided for each property on the site and in any emails regarding your reservation.
