STAR CREDIT CONDOS

How It Works

star credit condo system

What’s made this subscription popular over the years is a vast network of flat-rate vacation rentals. These private properties consist of mostly condos, cabins, villas and townhouses in the most sought-after vacation destinations around the world. We created a currency for our members to redeem their benefits called “Star Credits”. You may exchange your Star Credits for a variety of travel benefits, including condominium accommodations, travel season upgrades, additional bedroom upgrades, cruise exchange and finally, our tour exchange program. Star Credits are mandatory for some services and optional for your upgrades. You decide if you’d like to redeem your star credits individually for more opportunities or together for one incredible adventure at an even better value.

Let’s Look At What You Could Do With Our Most Popular Membership

As an example, an eight star member would be able to access four, one-bedroom, non-continental US vacation rentals per year during peak season for a flat rate of $379 per week. Or they could travel up to 8 times per year during value season for a flat rate of $379 per week.

An eight star member could also book two, two bedroom, non-continental US rentals per year for a flat rate of $379 each. Imagine booking two weeks in Destin, Florida in a two bedroom unit and what that might cost to book using online travel agencies. Instead of spending six to ten thousand, you can do it for $379 each week.

If You Were Wondering..

Condo Details

A star credit condominium is located within a resort destination and comes in several sizes—studio, one-, two- or three-bedroom—offering all the comforts of home. These spacious accommodations provide our members kitchens (mini up to full-sized), living rooms, full bathrooms and cable televisions. Most have washer and dryers at the resort or within the unit for guests’ convenience. You’ll find your accommodations clean and orderly. Most will come with a Starter Kit of supplies, including one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one or two trash liners per can, one roll of paper towels, bath soaps and single use dishwasher or dish soap. The guests are responsible for replenishing the week’s-worth of supplies, typically available at nearby grocery or convenience stores.

Upgrade options

Members may also upgrade the size of their unit from the standard studio/one bedroom to a two, three or even a four bedroom unit. Each additional bedroom will cost an additional $189 for the week. Each additional bedroom upgrade fee can also be waived with individual Star Credits.

Requests are accepted up to one year in advance and can be made by phone, U.S. Postal Service or online. Value Season Dates require a minimum of 60 days advance notice. Peak Season and holiday travel dates require a minimum of 120 days advance notice.

Star Credit Rules

Star Credits are only valid if your annual Activity Fee is current. Star Credits are valid for 12 months from your Anniversary Date. Star Credits must be applied to travel within the membership year, and travel must be completed within that membership year. Unused Star Credits expire on your annual Anniversary Date and cannot be accumulated or carried over to another membership year. Whenever two or more fees apply, the Star Credit will be applied toward the higher fee. Star Credits cannot be used to waive Processing Fees. Star Credits can only be used for Vacation Weeks, Expressway Weeks, Cruise Exchange vacations, and Tour Exchange vacations.
