WATCH OUT PREMIER MEMBERS

When you go to that site click on the statement
"Click to view Room Details and All Prices for Deluxe Ocean View"

below each room rate It will give you next year rates for members. They are quite a bit higher than others pay on the internet.

 

They even jacked up the rates for the remainder of this year...was $74 ppd until mid December, now it is $85 ppd.

Premier can kiss my ass. At these rates, we have no savings on our contract based on internet pricing for a similar room. I think the time has come to cut our losses and find another resort to give our hard earned money to.

Tired of the Premier BS...they can shove thier contract up thier f'ing ass...hope they choke on it and wind up as a parking lot!!! I am done if they continue this way!!!

Going to miss all the wonderful people at TTR but I can't in good conscience nor financially continue to deal with a company who blatantly screws over the people who made them what they are.

F*CK THEM and thier business practices. SO much for loyalty being a two way street. Plenty of other places that will appreciate our business.

Why do I suspect that this is Premier's intention?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me $15K on a bogus/worthless contract shame on me for being a SUCKER!!!

Scott

 

They really need to realize that they can't charge more then $80 per a person per a night and I don't care what time of the year it is. Anything over that and your not saving any money what so ever. Only thing that has happened over the years is the fees gone up and the benefits have gone down.

Maybe we need to start emailing Claire over are concerns of the AI fees.

I'd also really like someone to just justify the overall fee and how they come up with it. Once again if non-member prices for vacations are going up I have no problem with ours going up. But that price basically hasn't changed for them in over 10 years.

Email them, let them know how unhappy we are. Doesnt make a bit of sense the way thing are here in the US, there are not tons of people flying to Cancun like there where 2 years ago. I guess they think we are going to make up their short fall in tourism.

Terry,

E-mailing them to complain is an option but I think it would be like pissing up a rope.

I truly believe they think they have such a hot "product" that they can charge members what ever they want...me thinks they are going to be sadly disappointed in the end.

Very easy to rationalize the rate increases when Premier is smoking crack I guess. We can not and will not make up for the tough economic times they are facing nor the losses caused by H1N1 earlier this year. If Premier doesn't get its collective head out of thier ass, the situation will get worse...much worse; not only for us members but for thier bottom line.

At least RCI gave us a bit of a kiss afterwards...in comparison to what Premier is doing anyways. Pardon my army humour.

What happened to the contractual rate increase mentioned in our contracts. I can handle 4-5%, but 18+% is nutz and my ass hurts!!!

Mid Aug-mid Dec 09, non memebr rates were $74 ppd same time frame in 2010 member rates $94.40 ppd.

WTF?????

I may be wrong on this but when we were there end Aug early Sep, people who booked through RCI were given deluxe ocean view rooms in the same wing members get. I spoke with a couple, who were RCI members but not Premier members, a few doors down from us but did not get all the details.

The only way things will change is if we can affect Premier's bottom line.

Scott

 

Why can we get a deluxe ocean view room and airfare $600 cheaper through Expedia than booking Premier member rates for a deluxe ocean view room and airfare separately?

Must be the free wireless internet, the 15 minutes use of some of the Spa's amenities and the rise of the CDN $. Have no fear, I am not buying the CDN $ thing either, lol.

Airfare in May for us is approx $1300 USD and the room for 10 days at member rates is just over $2200 USD. Expedia is just under $2900 CDN for both. I suppose we could use the 60K points with RCI to offest the airfare but why would we when it is still cheaper to book the whole thing through Expedia.

Something smells really bad here and I have already showered today!

I promise no more rants until Premier does the next thing not to our (members) benefit. Alas, it might be hard to top what they have already done...

Scott

 

Here are the rates posted on the premier website. Note the very last line under the premier member benefits. This makes me think that if one can provide documentation of lower public rates they should be "guaranteed" 20% off them and still get your member benefits. They do at least have garden view room rates listed for members now which are usually the rates listed on the internet. A member could conceivably take a garden view room at 20% off the best internet rate and still get your benefits. At least that SHOULD be the way it works.

Based on what we had seen on here, we refused to meet them on our first trip to TTR. But with what they charge extra for AI, seems for sure to be better NOT to be a member

 

looking at all these posts, they are pricing themselves out of the market they have had cornered....if they could see that..

*sigh* looks like we may not be able to afford to go at all next year...
