| Why would I join VestedTravelClub.com
over other travel clubs AND OR timeshare ownership? |
|
Most
Travel
Clubs are priced in the THOUSANDS, and offer a single condo
search engine. This means finding a great deal, at the lowest price
available, is much more challenging. Few
travel clubs, if any, include automated referral commissions,
travel
rebates, air-mile bonuses
and automated lead
generation / marketing. In addition,
many are NOT a true wholesaler. In
other words, their pricing is MARKED-UP because their vacation
rentals are obtained through a middle man. VT
is a DIRECT distributor with several of the worlds largest timeshare
exchanges and fulfillment centers, offering ROCK BOTTOM vacation rental
rates world wide.
TIMESHARE ownership typically starts with
a large up front cost. On top of your $1,000
to over $30,000+ purchase price, owners are responsible for annual
dues to their
home resort (typically $450-$1,800+ per YEAR) and closing
costs (approx
3 to 8 mo's to close and $350 to $1,600+ for title, tax and
recording). Keep in mind that this ownership is typically only
offering access to a specific week every year, or in some cases,
every other year...ALWAYS
AT THE SAME RESORT or small group of resorts!
If
an owner wishes to vacation world wide, they would need to JOIN
an exchange an incur additional on-going dues & fees.
Most home resorts and or exchange's only allow owners to participate
in ONE exchange at a time (with
three separate search engines, VT members have access to more than
2X the availability compared to most owners). Numerous
fees apply too gain access to an exchange. These typically
include annual member dues ($125 to $300+), exchange & banking
fees ($20 to $100+ per week), and even charge booking fees
when staying outside your home resort ($150 to $500+ per week). Most "Points" programs
make it even harder to calculate your ACTUAL weekly rental rate.
With the average booking being 50,000 points per week, and the average
cost per point being $0.015, this equates to
over $750.00 PER WEEK w/ tax...and that is on
top of all the afore mentioned costs.
With the "bills" coming in from multiple companies and
the complexity of banking and booking, most timeshare owners are
left with a false sense of "savings". Never truly adding
up their total annual expenses, timeshare owners
typically only average a 10% to 40% savings off retail rates;
What is worse, is that it may take years to attain even this amount
of savings when considering their initial "investment" (VT
members can save as much as 88% off retail rates immediately upon
joining!).
VT membership starts at only $249 per year (or even less w/
a Gift Code). There
are no other dues or on-going fees of any kind. Members simply
login, browse and book. Vacation rentals start at only
$169 PER WEEK. We offer three different databases
with unique resort availability world wide. Over 5,500 resorts
to choose from and literally millions of units available daily. We

|
| Is VT a member of the BBB? |
|
We are not an accredited member of the BBB, but do hold an "A" rating. Full details of any claim can be freely recorded and posted online.
A much broader approach to finding a "Trust Worthy" online business would be to search our business name on a "Fraud Alert" style web site, such as www.RipOffReport.com. You will find that valid complaints about Vested Travel, Inc. are few and far between when compared to ANY other Travel related business or club.
We believe in doing business the old fashion way; providing valuable products and services, and standing behind them with a full refund policy. It has been our experience that this is a much more effective way to convey our good intentions; Rather than simply paying a third-party to place their logo on our web site. |
|
| Do you have a "testimonial" page? |
|
It has been our experience that unverifiable statements from complete strangers, should NOT be an important factor in your decision to join any program. 99% of them are simply contrived.
Placing our LIVE wholesale vacation rental databases, a selection of current travel and activity deals, and details on all certificates up for your review, is a much more effective way to help you make an educated decision about the true value of our membership.
A few of our nationally recognized affiliates include the World Poker Tour (as seen on TV), Direct Buy, WELE Radio ...and literally thousands of other reputable companies and individuals can attest to the value of our program and promotional flexibility. |
|
| Do you offer a monthly payment plan? |
|
No. Full
annual memberships start at only $229.00 offering
a tremendous value.
Timeshare owners have access to LESS availability
and PAY THOUSANDS MORE! All sign-up's are offered through *Paypal.com
subscriptions. However, we can offer direct credit card payments
through our merchant account upon request. *Referral commissions
are ONLY paid through Paypal.com so utilizing their subscription
to join our program can be very convenient. |
