WATCH OUT PREMIER MEMBERS

I am sure it is the intention...they have our money for buying into the program and need new blood.

We are skipping TTR this year. We have had a lot of fun at the resort, met great people etc, but I just cannot hand them that kind of money. We did Playa last spring and our whole trip did not cost what AI fees would cost us this winter. The choice is sitting home or going somewhere besides TTR...going somewhere else.

We bought a smaller package and have gotten our monies worth out of it on flights before that was changed, so I don't feel it was a huge loss for us. I am just glad I talked my husband into "trying" it first before we committed to a larger package. Good luck to everyone with the larger packages...

 

I soooooooo agree with you Xoie....we too bought a small package and still have some points with RCI and probably can get another flight "somewhere" I refuse to pay those kind of AI fees, when I can go somewhere else and get the same for much less.

Will I miss all the great people I met and still keep in contact with...you bet, but I cant wrap my mind around spending that much money AFTER already giving them our money...perhaps that is what their objective is?? new blood, different people there, no dissappointed members to bash them at the pool???

It is sad

 

me wishes we had a bought a smaller package as well...hind sight is 20/20 I guess with these new / improved AI fees for members.

 

Yes but think of all the benefits you are getting with your higher AI fees... :roll:

 

Strange I don't see any mention of KY to help make it feel good...

Maybe if there is some god out there they will revise the AI fees downward like they did last year when they were out of whack. If not I have no issue going back to red band service or adventuring elsewhere (although I would think it would be tough to find a more entertaining place.)

 

With the sky-rocketing AI fees, the new contract looks a little more appealing. Just saying................ :huh:

 

It seems as though the 20 percent is off their pulished pubic rates, not internet pulished rates. And premier published price is 20 percent of their published price, but who in their right mind would book though the resort? Terry

 

If it weren't for the 8 AI weeks I got with the new contract I wouldn't be going as a member. I can go next week for $1000 a person including air fare and AI where members would pay almost that just for the AI.

 

so you recommend the new program?

 

for our upcoming trip, and are all for ocean view rooms

Regular Original Resorts Price $1920

Promotional price thru Premier $1536

Funjet Vacation price $1468

Premier's matching price of 20% off the lowest published price $1174.40

My first time booking like this, and I am actually pleased with the result. Kind of a pain to do all of the searching to find a rate, and waiting for Premier to respond, but well worth the trouble.

I have no idea how they think the first price is going to hold, but if we can get down to a reasonable price at the end it all makes sense.
