We have been members of Accor Vacation Club from the inception of the Club and we thought it might be prudent to bring you up to date with what our experiences have been over the past 9 years or so.
Firstly, when we joined, we were building our accounting practice from scratch and never really had time or money for decent holidays. Accor Vacation Club not only showed us an opportunity to reward ourselves on a regular basis but also made it affordable to purchase the package with a very attractive payment scheme. We began with Bronze but as we became more profitable in the business and also once we had the bug for great holidays, we have progressively increased our level of membership to Platinum 6.
We now regularly take holidays, a few times a year in fact, mostly within Australia and New Zealand and have used Interval International as well a few times. The last time was a magnificent European trip which also included a week in Paris and a week in Italy, both weeks were booked using Club Points via Interval International.
We are at present booked for a week in Melbourne (Flinders Lane) in July (our 25th wedding anniversary) and hopefully either a week in the Hunter Valley or Queenstown NZ in October.
Next year, we are taking my sister to Italy and will definitely be booking our Italian leg with Interval. We hope to do a cruise one day, but the only thing stopping us is “time”.
It was the best thing we did all those years ago, when we popped out to Twin Waters for a 90 minute Information Session and signed up on the spot.
Lastly, we find using the Club Member’s site on the internet, very easy and it’s great because you can access it 24/7, even if it’s just to do a bit of “dreaming”. A very handy tool for forward planning. The standard of the Club properties is excellent and we regularly recommend them to our friends for their holidays.
Thank you and your team again for making our holiday choices sooooo easy. It’s great.
Kind regards
Pam and Cliff P.
