Welcome to the Wyndham Oceanside Resort, situated at the base of Southern California’s longest active recreational pier, and across from the beach.

wyndham-oceanside-resortca.jpgA great part of membership allows for other members to submit their timeshare access for other members. You can feel confident knowing that even these resorts must still adhere to strict quality standards as well our pre-established price cap.

wyndham-oceanside-resortca-2.jpgFor example, right now through membership, you can book this two-bedroom unit at the Wyndham Oceanside Resort for a grand total of $799 for the week.

We were unable to locate any “two-bedrooms” for booking online (for comparison), so we had to call direct.

wyndham-oceanside-resortca3.jpgFor the exact same size unit and dates at this resort, you would of paid over $297.00 per night, totaling $2.089.00 for the week. 

Membership just saved you nearly $1,300.00 on this one week alone.
 

These types of savings are available exclusively to our Platinum Members.

Enjoy Life! 

P.S.  Live weeks like these are fantastic. You’ll love having access to them for a lifetime. However, the ability for you to select your own resort and your own dates to a growing list of thousands of luxury resorts(all with a price cap of $799), is a service unmatched by anyone in the industry.

 “Booking a live week online?… Between $149 and $799 for the week.”
 
“Being able to choose your resort and select your own dates?… Priceless!”

 Here are a couple of romantic gift ideas sure to delight your sweetheart, after all Valentines Day is just around the corner.

~Luggage Set – though a luggage set in of itself might not seem romantic, pack it with two plane tickets and some hotel reservations and you’ll be a real Casanova!

~Dinner for Two – whether it’s at home or at a restaurant, a romantic evening is never complete without dinner.

Purchasing Discounted Luggage

Purchasing Discounted Luggage

Nothing is worse than packing your clothes in mom’s old dilapidated luggage set that smells of dust and perfume.  Purchasing a new luggage set ensures your clothing arrives on location in much the same condition as when it left, and also displays your sense of fashion.  However, let’s face it, luggage sets are expensive!  When it comes to discount luggage sets, you can save a lot of money by purchasing older sets.  Just like fashionable clothes, totes, and shoes, luggage goes in and out of style. 

Now you shouldn’t purchase a new luggage set discounted in the 1980s, but most luggage retailers discount their older models after just a couple years.  There’s nothing wrong with these older models, they’re just being replaced by different fashions.  When you’re searching for a discount on luggage, be sure to check out the older sets, you never know what you might find!

~Luggage Set – though a luggage set in of itself might not seem romantic, pack it with two plane tickets and some hotel reservations and you’ll be a real Casanova!

How can I save money on my Rental Car rates?

Shopping the Internet can be the quickest and best way to compare many Rental Car rates. If you are planning on purchasing extra items such as a damage waiver or insurance, you should also comparison shop those rates.

Make sure their mileage policy is favorable to you so you can avoid extra charges.

Airport fees can be quite large so you might see if it is worth it to use an off-airport facility. However, if the off-airport company picks you up at the airport, you’ll probably still have to pay some of the fee.

You can check their national reservation centers and their local offices; one may be offering a better deal than the other. ASK, if this is the best rate they have available.

Make your reservation as soon as you have decided on plans. Most Rental Car Companies increase their rates as reservations come in and their fleets become booked. Also, certain classes of cars will sell out and you may have to end up reserving and paying for a larger vehicle than you want.

Being flexible about your travel plans can save you money. Rental Companies that focus on the business or replacement market customers often have great weekend specials. The best rates are found during the off season and at other times when the Rental Companies have extra cars sitting around.

Check into booking your vacation as a package. You might be able to save by booking your car along with a certain airline, hotel or attraction ticket package.

Book the smallest car that you will need and hope for a free upgrade. But, remember you may get stuck with that small car.

Check into other size class vehicles. They may have extra cars in a certain class and be offering discounts for that size class.

Use coupons, but read them carefully for exceptions. Most upgrade coupons are “based on availability”, so if you have an upgrade coupon that you wish to use and also have a monetary discount coupon, bring them both. If they can’t honor the upgrade, they may still give you the monetary discount. Also, remember to book any coupons or discounts in your reservation.

Apply any special discount programs for which you are eligible.

When you get to the counter, ask if there are any upgrade specials available, they might have some good deals.

Please take care when you travel anywhere but before you do make sure that you purchase the 2 piece or 3 piece luggage set that suit your personality & your needs.
