Hey Everyone! We have been to TTR 2 times and are thinking of joining the Premier Membership on our next trip. Any advice on what to negotiate into the contract? And are you happy with the decision to join? We have not sat down for a presentation yet due to not knowing quiet what to expect.
I can say it will depend of the times you are planning to be there during the year. For us the membership is great because we go around 3 to 5 times per year. We think it is a good deal since what we pay for the reservation plus the monthly payment of the membership is less that going and paying as nonmember. We have a Lush in our contract which is difficult to reserve (no good) and most of the time we are ending on Bash suites. What we know is if you buy the membership for the low-cost rooms the price of the rooms per night is the same as nonmembers. In the plus side we have the 40% back on what we pay for the trip in TTR that we can use for transportation, liquor, spa, upgrades etc. the membership give you the access of better brands of liquors but sometimes they are running out (not good). The other items are mostly standard as nonmember. We do not take the fly-back because we have to pay money at front and get it over 10 years depending how often to your travel. We never travel used the other travel options because is better to find travel offers
I would say to talk to an existing member and buy a small number of nights as beneficiary first - experience the resort as a member. You can go to the pitch while there as beneficiary, if you really want. The main question is how much you will use each of the perks. Happy to chat more over messages if you want more details. There aren't THAT many options. If you only go on 1 vacation of 7 days per year, it's likely not worth buying 25 years upfront. If you go on 3 weeks worth of trips, and would use the RCI/SFX exchanges, you may see more upside.
