Taking Advantage Of Vacation Wholesale Pricing

Regardless of what ocean you stand by, there will be a nearby coastal vacation resort at which a family or groups can treat themselves to the good life, at least for a week or two. There are many travel agents that are willing to book expensive vacations for you, but to find the beat deals available, becoming a member in a vacation travel club may be the best way to go.

Many clubs work with different business models but they all deliver some of the best travel deals. Up to 50 percent off the posted price for airfare, motels, luxury vacation homes and even dining in fancy restaurants. Imagine staying in homes that cost $1,000 per week through you travel agent for a couple of hundred dollars. Yes, there may be restrictions on availability, but the savings alone should be enough incentive to alter travel plans by a week or so.

Do not misunderstand; these companies are not promoting free trips. Rather, they are a travel club that can negotiate better prices for their members. Similar to shopping clubs that save members money over regular retail price on mane items for the home, car and groceries. The membership fee usually pays for itself within the first year and there are other benefits that go along with being a club member. Some offer roadside assistance plans in case you break down on the way to your planned vacation, or any other time of the year.

Just imagine the possibilities of spending time in luxury accommodations for nearly the same price as low-end motels. Staying in the same homes that celebrities occupy other times of the year and swimming in pools maintained by a staff of professionals, not some person in a pickup truck that looks into the water every few days. If something breaks while you are a guest in a home, a phone call gets it fixed. Living large is how many people describe their membership in a travel vacation club.

There are different levels of memberships in most clubs, ranging from $1,200 to $5,000 depending on the type of travel and vacationing you plan to do, and with the food discounts as well as savings on car rentals and plane tickets, this amount of money is virtually nothing compared to the prices you would pay on the open market. Many resorts participating in these vacation club plans also include golf resort, spa resorts and even those for honeymooners or those on their second honeymoon, allowing you to participate in activities you may have only dreamed about.

Taking advantage of special days is easy for club members and should any problems with the arrangements appear while traveling, they all offer call services to help straighten things out without ruining your entire trip.

Despite all efforts to rid their ranks of unethical sales people, there have been a few that promised more than the company advertised to deliver. It always best to verify all arrangements before leaving home and any issues can be cleared up before your arrival.
