Fraction Of Retail Prices

For years I've been wanting to take my family on a luxury vacation to the Caribbean. There has been one thing standing in my way - the cost. Finally I've found the solution to the problem, and I'm so excited I want to pass it along.

I recently attended a travel show just for fun to pick up information and see if I could find that special deal. Luxury vacations to the Caribbean are easy to find, that’s for sure, but usually they are not cheap. I obtained information from Beaches and Sandals resorts, and found that it wasn’t really going to work for me.

While I was walking around, I overheard a couple talking about all the money they were saving on their vacations. It turns out they were members of a travel club that allows them to book accommodations at prices that are 75% and more below industry rates. And the bookings can be made in advance, not just at the last minute. I introduced myself and we talked for awhile. It turns out that they had been in a very similar position as I was before they bought their membership. Naturally, I wanted all the details.

They told me that the travel club membership provided a way to obtain preferential treatment in booking luxury timeshare resort condos. These resorts are available through normal travel booking sites like Expedia, etc, but booking that way means paying retail price. With the travel club, it's possible to book the very same resorts for a fraction of the cost because the club has pre-purchased vacation weeks for resale to club members and because the club has been able to negotiate special rates with the resorts.

Since having that conversation, I gathered additional information and eventually purchased a lifetime Platinum travel club membership. I’ve been busy planning my next vacation, and yes it will be a luxury vacation. I think I’ll finally make it to the Caribbean. After all, I can get a week-long stay for 75% off industry rates and the resort condos are big enough for my entire family.

My advice is to check it out for yourself. The current price for the membership is low considering all the benefits and the fact that it is a one-time fee. There are no annual fees, or upgrade fees, or any of that nonsense.
