WATCH OUT PREMIER MEMBERS

I think your right.

Even if you could work something out on the point side of it there is nothing that is stopping RCI from changing it again on you.

AI Fees the resort and Premier control so we only have them to point the finger at. I know earlier in this thread I stated what I feel the fees should be for Temptations based on services and what other resort similar in services are charging. Keep in mind all those hotels are newer and most on the ocean side. In fact most of them even offered more amenities then Temptation.

Could this be some kind way of trying to enhance the value of upgrading contracts? making it look like your getting more for your money? If they can make money selling to a 3rd party , ( who makes money) why not make it advantageous for members getting a better deal ? Just seems totally backwards to me... Where else do you spend money to join something from a book store to coffee shop to get charged more?

 

Anyone??

 

I don't think anyone knows what there doing as far as a business plan goes.

Premier use to be a great thing and offer alot to the members for the money. When it started it was truely a program for repeat guest of the resort. In fact you couldn't even talk to Premier unless you where a repeat guest. This was back in 2001 when they started. But then within about three to four years after that Premier really became buddy-buddy with RCI and that is when it really started going down hill. In other words RCI showed the resort how various programs that other resorts are running and how much money can be made. They go back to the old system and they'd sell a ton of packages to people. I don't even understand why anyone would buy into todays system with what is going on with the points.

 

Really just check the various travel websites weekly. Prices can change day to day.

 

Bart, its kinda hard to check the websites for just rooms, which is what rates you are looking for. The really good deals come with the package, flight and room......at least what I have found.

you can go on expedia and see the prices they charge for ocean veiw rooms, but you dont get the good rates unless it is included with airfare..

dont know if that is what you were looking for or not, but it is what I have found. No airfare, no good deals...

 

PROFECO

I spoke with an agent at the PROFECO office in Mexico City today. WE filed our complaint many months agao and had heard nothing back from them. They are trying to get some information together to give me an update regarding our 14 complaints.

On a similar note. PROFECO has been flooded with complaints this year regarding timeshare scams. They are understaffed and it will take a bit longer to get a reply.

 

any idea on 2010 AI fees?

 

Someone said that in the next few weeks it will be released.

 

on the RCI site they are the same in 2010.....dont they follow the rci rates?
