Platinum One Destinations (P1D) Fees Exposed For Renewal and Points Purchase

Platinum One Destinations (P1D) Members continue to find the hidden fees associated with using the new discount travel membership program. High annual renewal fees and the need to purchase additional points put home based business marketers trying to push the Platinum One Destinations (P1D) program at a disadvantage when compared to top line competitors Global Resorts Network (GRN), Coastal Vacations and the $795 budget travel membership offered by the Coastal Sales Center Group.

Los Angeles based home based travel business expert Dean Marino says the extra fees make it very difficult for salespeople to champion the beta testing of Platinum One Destinations (P1D) against time tested programs from Global Resorts Network (GRN), Coastal Vacations and others. “Home based business marketers want to keep it simple and they don’t like having to explain a bunch of extra fees to prospective buyers. While Coastal Vacations has been a top rated home based business for over 14 years, marketers often find it difficult to explain over 30 complimentary vacations, 5 bonus cruises and 27 membership cards that are supplied by over 70 different travel vendors. Global Resorts Network (GRN) offers a much simpler program and people love it. Home based business marketers want to keep it simple and they don’t like having to apologize for a product.”

Known as the home based travel business leader who travels extensively and knows the travel products offered in the home based travel business arena inside and out, Marino has been recognized by U S Airways for traveling over one million miles with them. He is an independent travel agent, Honors Diamond elite member with Hilton Hotels and was asked by Avis to participate in their elite level Avis First program when they launched it last year. Marino knows first hand what members use, what they don’t want and what makes a home based travel business successful.

Platinum One Destinations (P1D) members can renew services provided by Access Development and netTrav at a cost of $99 a year. Some travel services provided by Platinum One Destinations (P1D) require members to redeem a combination of points and money. For example, a 7 night vacation at the Las Brisas Huayulco was available to members at a cost of $1,942 and 3,000 points and a sample first class airfare from Los Angeles to Beijing was $6,900 and 3,000 points. As members use up their points, they can purchase additional points. In U S Dollars it costs $300 to purchase 3,000 points.

Before they are asked for any extra fees, Platinum One Destinations (P1D) members must first purchase a membership for $1,500, $6,000 or $15,000. At that point, members can pack their bags and start shelling out points and money.

Marino says it’s important to know the details when comparing Platinum One Destinations (P1D) with Global Resorts Network (GRN), Coastal Vacations and others. Coastal Vacations members can choose to renew 27 membership cards from companies that include Quest, ITC and Access Development for less than what Platinum One Destinations (P1D) charges for just one card and there are no points to buy.

Global Resorts Network (GRN) keeps it really simple. Once a discount travel membership is purchased from Global Resorts Network (GRN) for $1,495 or $2,995 members can put away their wallets. Members of the Global Resorts Network (GRN) program have full access to all their travel benefits without paying an annual fee and they don’t have to worry about running out of points. The purchase, trading, or bartering of points have never been part of the Global Resorts Network (GRN) discount travel membership program.
