Ladies and gentlemen of the travel world. Take heed!!! We all train and study the perks and benefits of what we book for ourselves and our clients. Every now and then the fruits of your labor have to be revealed to validate your efforts. I got this today in the mail. It is my Blue Diamond Club $500 prepared card. I earned this for booking with the Hideaway at Royalton Punta Cana. The resort brand also falls under Marriott but unfortunately since I booked through Vacation Access aka "VAX", Marriott did not honor my redemption. They don't honor 3rd party bookings so if you want Bonvoy points you have to book directly with the resort. Sharing the lessons learned. However, at convention I got a very nice commission check that had a comma with large numbers before and after that comma from Archer via VAX. I registered my group booking with Blue Diamond and I was also awarded 99,000 points. Every 5,000 points is worth $50 hence the $500 card sitting in front of me right now. Please note that they would only let me redeem 50,000 points at one time and there are still $45,000 points on the books. I can use them for vacation days or more money. Fun times!!!
WORK YOUR PERKS!!!!!
I'm going to use this money to pay my agent dues for Regionals so I'm going for FREE!!!!! Please go to the Regional event in your area and take someone with you!!!! 😁😉
