Do you own Hilton Grand Vacation Club, HGV Max?

Starting August 1, 2022, you can covert any or all of your NEXT YEAR'S points to Hilton Honors at a 1:16 conversion ratio. This conversion option is one of the lowest redemption values when using a HGV membership.

To stay at the Elara in Las Vegas in a Studio Plus unit using Hilton Honors requires 98,000 points for June 28, 2022, for one night. The cash price is only $226.00!

An HGV member can book the same room for 560 club points!

If the same HGV member owned 8000 points and converted those points to Hilton Honors, the member would only receive 128,000 Hilton Honors points, enough to book just one night at the Elara.

Using HGV club points, the same member can book ten nights at the same property!

Hilton Grand Vacations has some tremendous benefits and offers lots of value; converting to the Hilton Honors points program is not one. 

Maximizing your annual maintenance fee and points is essential; Vacation Ownership Portfolio Management ensures you get the most value and, importantly, a well-deserved customer experience.

How powerful is the art of visualization and writing down your goals?

I will let you be the judge. On the last day of the GNEX Conference Las Vegas, I attended a speech hosted by Jim Madrid, an excellent speaker. During his talk, we emphasized how important it was to write your goals down and visualize them coming true.

Afterward was the awards ceremony. There was a raffle for various prizes, and one caught my eye, a beautiful necklace handcrafted in Italy with a coin from an ancient shipwreck. I told myself, this is what I want!

As the tickets sold, I asked Paul Mattimoe if we could use Zelle to pay; he quickly checked and informed me yes, you may use Zelle! I waited in line and told Sharon Mattimoe I would like to buy tickets and transfer the money to Zelle. As Sharon gave the information, I told Sharon, "I am going to put the word NECKLACE on the "memo" for this money transfer so that the necklace will come to me."

The time came for the drawing, and the lucky number was called; I quickly started checking my tickets and noticed the numbers I had were close to that one called; a few moments later, I saw the matching winning number in my hand! I shouted out, "It worked! Sharon looked at me and said, "OMG, you wrote it on the Zelle memo and told me it would attract the necklace; I can't believe this!"

Writing your dreams down and visualizing them is more powerful than you may know! I gave the necklace to my girlfriend, who has been by my side during this fantastic journey of learning and growing as an entrepreneur.

This invaluable necklace will have a remarkable everlasting story of how it landed on her neck!

Why did I start VOA? 

For one simple reason, to better help timeshare and vacation club owners understand, use, and get the most value possible when using their ownership; while providing a five-star customer experience.

June 12, 2022, marked the first anniversary of VOA providing Vacation Ownership Portfolio Management for the members of V4U. On this day, VOA followed up with a member who would later leave a substantial positive impact on what V4U provides and how VOA enhances the value, customer experience, and engagement. 

The member informed VOA that they had five adults and three children planning to visit Orlando from July 1 - to July 5 and found a great deal on booking.com for $1490.00. After talking more about the vacation with the member, our team realized this was not just any ordinary vacation. It has a special meaning to the entire family. 

The children were not hers; they were her daughters who had passed three years ago due to leukemia, and her husband was placed on a liver transplant list last month. Before buying V4U, they had planned to book two hotel rooms near the Disney park. Our team searched the V4U platform relentlessly for the best quality, experience, and value. Our team found a stunning four-bedroom deluxe villa at the Magic Village Trademark Collection by Wyndham for $1,521.00, saving the member over $2,500 from the public price on booking.com. VOA helped the member secure an additional $180 savings when booking their rental car with V4U!

VOA also provided the member with $200 in airfare savings with the travel code SUMMER25 provided by ACCESS. Incredible! 

I have had three calls with this member this week. It's a fantastic feeling to watch your dream come true and can help others create unforgettable memories through a vacation and the experience of being an owner.

What is the value of Marriott Bonvoy platinum status? Part 4 of 4 

Today we will talk about the Holy Grail of benefits of any hotel rewards program. This bonus is the most overlooked and undervalued benefit when obtaining Marriott Platinum status. 

When a Bonvoy member achieves Platinum status, each member is offered benefits to choose from:

*Five elite night credits  
*Five Suite Night Awards
*40% off a mattress
*$100 charity donation
*Gift of Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status for a family member, friend, or colleague

The Holy Grail is Five Suite Night Awards! If used at the right hotels, this benefit is approximately $10,000 - $22,000! How do you get $22,000 in value? Simple, do you have a dream to go to Venice, Italy, and have a waterfront room at a five-star Category 8 hotel? 

The Hotel Danieli, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Venice, is a stunning property located in a perfect area; book a premium deluxe room for about $800 to $1,100 per night. Next, request an upgrade to the Lagoon View one-bedroom suite. The value differs from the standard room's cost and the cost of the suite; that difference is about $22,000! The suite costs about $5,500 a night. That's Value!

You're missing out on incredible value if you are not using your suite night awards in St Regis Hotels, the Ritz Calton, or any Category 8 hotel. The last key point is that if you're looking for the best value in upgrades, five-star service, and the overall feeling that you have maxed out your platinum status value travel overseas, it's an entirely different experience!

What is the value of Marriott Platinum Bonvoy Status? Part 3 of 4 

Lounge Access is one of the most hidden gems in the Marriott Rewards program. The key to unlocking this benefit is knowing the hotels that offer lounge access and taking it to the next level. 

Now let's get a plane and travel to Abu Dhabi! The Ritz Calton in Abu Dhabi on the Grand Canal has a stunning lounge on the 7th floor that overlooks the pool and is available daily to Platinum members from 7 am to 11 pm. Your breakfast is complimentary, and drinks and snacks are available in the lounge all day. 

If you are suddenly thirsty for a refreshing drink and not interested in paying $20 for a drink and another $20 for a sandwich, no worries, head up to the 7th-floor lounge! By the way, they also change the food presentations five times a day! The lounge access is easily worth $200 a day per person; keep in mind that the real value is having access to a private lounge to relax and enjoy a glass of wine, coffee or tea with friends while spending $0.00. This experience is priceless!

Spending a week at this five-star resort as a platinum member can provide you with an excess of $2,800 in lounge access value as a Marriott Bonvoy platinum member!

Members of Vacation Ownership Advisor enjoy the benefit of not having to research what Marriott to stay in when traveling if they want the best longe experience and value. VOA directly enhances the member's customer experience by providing a one-of-kind service called Vacation Ownership Portfolio Management. 

A member with a five-star customer experience who understands not only how to use but also sees the value of their benefits is 10 x more likely to be loyal to that brand and use the rewards program more!

What is the value of Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Status? Part 2.

In this part, we will discuss the 4 pm checkout.

The 4 pm checkout is a game-changer when you are traveling; there is nothing worse than having to wake up early, finish packing, eat breakfast and then hope the front desk may extend your room for an extra hour so you don't feel too rushed. 

With a 4 pm checkout, you may schedule a flight in the evening or late afternoon, enjoy your day sightseeing, or just relax in your suite on your last day. Never worry about calling the front desk trying to get a 12-noon checkout and not having room to come back to and rest after having a nice lunch, sightseeing, or some last-minute shopping! What's the value of that experience? Priceless.

Now, let's look at it from a monetary value. If your room costs 250.00 a night - if you divide 250.00 by 24 hours, that would be $10.41 per hour to stay in the hotel. Most of the time, check-in is at 3 pm, and check out at 11 am, resulting in only 20 hours or $12.50 per hour. On the last day as a platinum member, you gain, on average, four extra hours by not checking out at noon. The result is approximately $50.00 in added value each time you check out of a Marriott Hotel using your 4 pm checkout benefit! 

Completing 50 nights every year and doing it in stay lengths of 5 nights at a time, results in an average of $500.00 in added value by being a Marriott Bonvoy platinum member. Averaging two-night stays would increase your value to about $1,250 annually!

Stay tuned for Part 3 on 6/10/2022

How valuable is Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Status?

Part 1 of 4

The value depends on your knowledge of using the Marriott Bonvoy system, the hotels you choose while traveling, and your destinations.

Marriott Bonvoy's Platinum status is arguably the best and most valuable hotel rewards status to carry. When members post comments that they don't see the value or say it's worthless, they don't know how to use the status in the right situations.

Suppose you always stay at a Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Moxy, or AC hotel. You may not feel the difference as this is not the luxury brand of Marriott and, in most cases, offer a complimentary breakfast to anyone that stays at the resort. Suite upgrades may not feel like a significant upgrade, and the value may not be the best.

On the other hand, choosing St Regis, W Hotels, Autograph Collection Hotels, Westin Resorts, Ritz Carlton (Outside the USA for Breakfast), JW Marriott, or even the Renaissance hotels will feel and experience the difference! An enormous difference!

Breakfast at these brands easily costs $40 to $50 per person, worth every penny! As a platinum member, breakfast is complimentary! A 7-day vacation for 2, $700 in value for just one holiday in breakfast.

The average family will take 14 days of vacation; that's approximately $1,400 in value for just two people traveling.

What happens when timeshare owners search online for answers?

Confusion, confusion, and more confusion. when owners have nowhere else to turn due to a lack of follow-up throughout the year, and no one genuinely manages their portfolio, even the most straightforward questions get the wrong answers.

The key word is "RELEASE." Vacation ownership professionals recognize that word and immediately know the Wyndham owner is asking, "Is there a certain date or time that rooms are made available for members to make a reservation." The untrained eye responds by saying, "When the maid is done cleaning the room or 2 pm". In this picture, the other owners are not trying to misguide this owner; they don't understand the question.

Vacation Ownership Portfolio Management by VOA ensures each owner has a team of industry professionals to discuss the best way to use and get the most value from their ownership on every vacation.

Vacation Ownership Advisor works directly with the developer and sales team to provide owners with a point of contact throughout the year, helping owners better use, understand, and get the most value possible for their investment.

Developers start offering your members year-round follow-up and five-star service today. The cost for a developer to provide VOA to their members is $0.00; the price not to offer VOA, well, that can be tens or not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For more information on making your owner base happier and more engaged, contact VOA at partnership@vacationownershipadvisor.com or 888-752-0050 extension 6 for partnership opportunities.

Why is traveling important?

The internet can only explain so much about a place. Traveling fosters a medium to build human connections with one another by learning about culture, food, new sites, music, and the way people live their day-to-day lives in different parts of the world. It's the best on-site learning a person can get.

Why do small travel clubs tend to struggle?

Here are two of the top reasons why small travel clubs struggle.

1. Lack of credibility - The internet has changed everything. If you are not up to date with the current changes, social media sites, and the importance of Google rankings, it might be better to stick with your day job than open your own Travel Club. Claiming you have hundreds of thousands of owners and have two posts on Instagram, no Facebook page, or Google business account with five-star reviews will not make a member feel confident when they Google your company when they return home after joining.

2. Insufficient amount of customer service and follow-up - If you start your own Travel Club and you feel selling a member and then just turning them to the 800 number offered by the Travel Platform Provider will be enough, you're missing the big picture.

These agents don't work for you; their job is to make a reservation, not show them the value of their ownership and ensure their understanding of the product they now own. Their job is not to answer, "How do I use what I own? or "I don't see the difference in booking with Expedia vs. my membership." These are real situations that happen every day, and if you are not prepared seven days a week to have an entire support team, your reviews and business will go in a negative direction quickly.

Suppose you are starting or already own a travel club. In that case, Vacation Ownership Advisor has all the processes to ensure your members have a fantastic experience as a member of your travel club throughout the year. VOA works directly with the Club to ensure members are engaged and customer service is a five-star experience. Get started today!

Are flight discounts possible?

YES! Members of Vacation Ownership Advisor have a short window to book their summer travel and save money on their flights! Travel anywhere globally, leaving from the United States, Mexico, or Canada, and receive a $25 discount per reservation booked. All flights must be booked before June 30, 2022, and the travel departure date must be before August 31, 2022. If you wonder if any destinations are not included, the answer is no.

A family of 4 will save $100 on their flights! How? It's simple to create four separate bookings; every time you check out and pay, use the code exclusively for VOA members (SUMMER25). All reservations must be made directly through VOA.

Here is an example June 7, 2022, departing Las Vegas, Nevada, to Santa Ana, California, and returning to Las Vegas on June 8, 2022, on Frontier Airlines. Roundtrip cost is $57.95; as a VOA member, a $2.72 discount is applied automatically, and by using your VOA discount code, another $25.00 is deducted, making the total price round trip $30.23!

We at VOA understand that while vacations are essential, so is saving your hard-earned money. Start planning your summer vacations today, and remember to book your flights before June 30, 2022, with VOA!

Owning a timeshare or vacation club is a beautiful experience. Still, owners with VOA have a team of industry professionals to ensure they understand all the benefits and use their ownership to get the most value possible. VOA provides them with the service they not only expect but deserve.

Start offering VOA to your members and experience the difference.

How critical is customer engagement?

Customer engagement is a major determining factor in a resort or vacation club's long-term success. Any developer can sell vacation ownership, but very few genuinely commit to year-long follow-up and guidance on how to use, understand, and get the most value from their membership.

The sales process usually ends after a welcome call or quick follow-up, but the journey is beginning for the member. Leaving a member to navigate the vacation ownership system on their own can leave a member frustrated and feeling buyer's remorse months after the sale is completed.

Providing touch-points throughout the year and personal follow-ups to see if they need any assistance with any upcoming travel plans completely changes the perspective of what the member purchased into a highly positive experience.

One company that has seen massive success by installing this process is Vacations4you! The members of Vacations 4 You receive year-round follow-up and assistance, ensuring they get the value from their ownership and have an excellent feeling about becoming an owner.

Preventing potential lost sales, members that may have read bad reviews or need to go over how to use their ownership can be easily accomplished by including Vacation Ownership Portfolio Management by Vacation Ownership Advisor. Every member is provided follow-up and personal assistance for the first 30 days at no cost to the resort or member. Ensuring each member receives a minimum of five touchpoints in the first 30 days. All of the feedback and information is simultaneously relayed to the operations team of the resort. After 30 days, the member opts in or out for a one-time annual cost of only $249 to have a team of industry experts works with them on all their vacations and ownership questions. The best part is that less than 10% of the members opt out before the 30 days end!

Start offering your members the service they not only expect but deserve!

Is a room just a room? 

We hear this comment countless times from first-time buyers on a presentation in the vacation ownership industry. The question is, why? 

It's pretty simple; 1. They have never experienced the difference between a luxury two-bedroom villa and a standard room. 2. People may feel they don't deserve these luxury accommodations and worry about the cost. 3. It's a simple way to say, " I am not interested." 

For those who are well-traveled and have stayed in resort and hotel suites, we know a room is not a room. First-time buyers can't relate to the experience of booking a villa. The model tour during a presentation must be done correctly and with enthusiasm; it's what the first-time buyer has to compare when deciding to become a member. From making the reservation to talking about the vacation a month later after you have returned, the entire process is now an entirely different experience when you book a suite on vacation. It's not just the stay that is enhanced! 

Arriving at your hotel or resort knowing you have a suite waiting for you and your family is not the same feeling as coming with a reservation from Expedia. Sales representatives who travel and stay in suites have an enormous advantage over sales representatives who don't use the product they are selling. They can convey, describe and share their own real-life experiences and feelings with the member using the membership; it's an invaluable part of the presentation. 

Keep this in mind. An owner that has used their membership to enjoy villas and suites with their family will never say, "a room is just a room." Next time you hear that from a first-time buyer, it's not their fault - they don't have the experience to relate to, and the model tour might have lacked enthusiasm and wasn't appropriately executed. 

Remember, your vacations don't last just seven days; if they did, we would not be talking about them 20 years later to friends, family, and total strangers.

It was such an honor to participate in an interview with AIRDA All India Resort Development Association (AIRDA). The Timeshare industry is a global market, offering people the ability to meet new people, experience new places, and learn about new cultures.

One consistent rule in the timeshare industry is the experience a guest must have to feel that vacation ownership is the right fit for them or their family. Thank you, Sharath Bhat; it was an absolute pleasure working with you and your team!

Did you buy a timeshare or vacation club in the last 30 years?

If the answer is YES, you should feel terrific about your purchase!

The decision to be one of the many families or individuals that chose vacation ownership over the traditional Expedia route is paying off in today's economy.

Hotel rates are soaring at a record pace, and the days of renting a quality brand room for $200.00 in popular travel destinations are long gone. The luxury hotels are now $500 to $1,500 a night for a standard room. Sure, you can find a room for $200, but what type of experience do you want on vacation? The experience is an essential part of the vacation!

Those who bought a timeshare in the past have the opportunity to stay in luxury suites that would not be justifiable to pay out of pocket if it were not for their ownership.

A Marriott Vacation Club owner at the 4,000 point level using their benefits on a trip ten days trip to Italy can experience $1,000 in complimentary breakfast, over $25,000 in room upgrades, and the opportunity to spend the entire day in the city before checking out at 4 pm, using their Bonvoy Platinum status!

Vacation Ownership, if appropriately used, can not only provide enormous value when traveling but also leave you with a lifetime of beautiful memories! Remember, the experience lasts forever!

Members of Vacation Ownership Advisor have a team of travel industry experts to help them maximize their ownership and reward points value on every vacation. Owning a timeshare or having a loyalty rewards program is even more exciting when you know how to use every benefit.

How many people can stay in a two-bedroom suite?

For those in the travel industry, it's a straightforward question, what about a new owner planning their birthday trip to Maui? This birthday trip would not have been possible for an owner without VOA.

The VOA Concierge Team was contacted by a member requesting to find her a beautiful two-bedroom for her and five friends in Maui for June 2022. Our team searched the member's platform and found a fabulous two-bedroom at the Kaanapali Alii Resort in Lahaina. The resort website listed the two-bedroom at just under $10,000 for the week. The member's rate was only $2,800!

The member was so happy and excited to book her vacation that the VOA Concierge Team provided her with the direct number to secure the accommodations; the member called back the next day, saying, "The unit only sleeps five people, and we can't make the reservation" Our Concierge Team asked "Who told you this? The member replied, "The person taking our reservation on the phone; said it only gives an option to have five people, sorry."

VOA quickly called the resort and confirmed the resort does accommodate six people in the two-bedroom, yet the owner's club's reservations team and their online platform only let you book for five people.

VOA called the owner and informed the owner to make the reservation for five people. Our team told her that we would merge her on a call with the resort to add the 6th person to the reservation once she has the confirmation.

Owners go through these situations every day and are left in the dark for answers. This was not the owner's fault; they were told they couldn't make the reservation for six people, which was not valid. Having VOA throughout the year gives owners the assurance that they can maximize their benefits and enhance their overall vacation ownership experience.

Can you use your timeshare to visit Venice, Italy?

Yes, you can!

We will give you one of the choices. Can anyone provide the names of 2 more?

Palazzo del Giglio-Residenza Alberghiera – This lovely property is situated in the heart of Venice, ideal for sightseeing to St. Mark’s Square, and the Rialto Bridge

The palazzo is small and elegant, with original antique pieces, sophisticated decor, multilingual staff, and a full range of services and modern amenities.

This is a Gold Crown resort, ID #3946. How do you stay here? You must be a member of RCI; this is the value of owning an RCI Resort affiliated timeshare.

What do people buy at a timeshare presentation?

A timeshare would be an easy answer. Well, it's probably the last thing in order of importance an owner is buying.

First, the owner buys because of the process of how they were treated, from the first touchpoint of marketing to the initial meet & greet by the salesperson to the final close of the sale. If one of these touchpoints were done incorrectly, the odds of any member joining are low single digits to 0.

Second, the vision created for the member during the presentation is about their family traveling, enjoying time together, experiencing higher level service, and overall customer experiences that they would not receive in a regular hotel. If the members can not envision using the ownership, they will never purchase.

Third, the member's perception of the value they would receive must be high. Understand that the salesperson's definition of value differs from the owner's. No value, no sale.

Last, the owner feels confident that they will have a great experience as an owner, and it will positively impact their lives for years to come.

There is nothing worse than going through this process after the sale is over, dropping the ball, and not doing the proper follow-up. The experience owners have on a presentation needs to stay consistent throughout the year.

The answer to the question is quite simple. People buy experiences, quality service, value, and the opportunity to do something they would not otherwise have if they didn't own a timeshare. Don't let the experience change after they leave.

Allow VOA to fill the year-long void for your owners and keep the customer experience and engagement where it belongs, five stars!

How does your level of customer service and customer experience affect the perceived value of your vacation ownership?

Timeshare developers and travel club owners offer exclusive membership programs with fantastic benefits. Still, suppose the member has difficulty using, understanding what they own, and most importantly, feeling like they have been forgotten with a lack of follow-up and communication. In that case, the perceived value of the membership will go down faster than on the Titanic.

In today's age of technology, customer retention is one of the most significant focus points for any business owner. How is it possible a guest can take a 90-minute sales presentation, purchase a $40,000 membership, and, if they are lucky, receive a follow-up call from the sales agent? 

At VOA, during our detailed follow-up process, owners consistently thank us for reaching out, asking how they are, and if there is any assistance we can provide regarding their ownership. These simple steps ensure the perceived value of the membership they bought with their hard-earned money keeps its value! The services provided by VOA become a direct positive reflection of the company the owner purchased their timeshare, then creating a better overall customer experience.

Remember, value is in the eye of the beholder! 

Partner with VOA and offer your owners the value and experience that they not only expect but deserve.
