We just received word that Private Escapes (www.privateescapes.com) is offering a special incentive to drive sales in June and July, apparently usually their slowest sales period - this makes sense, given that so many people are holidaying already at this tome and are not ready to be considering their options for the years ahead.

Private Escapes is offering several memberships with a 100% refundable deposit, instead of their standard 80% refund. (We discussed the negotiability of the deposit refund terms in a recent article, and this might be confirmation of the viability of that approach.)

This mid-range destination club has a slightly more complicated model than the other clubs, with three ‘clubs’ within the club - Premiere, Platinum and Pinnacle (if, like the Luxury Reporter team, you’re not quite sure which of these sounds the most expensive, we’ll save you some digging on their website and just let you know that the Pinnacle club is roughly three times the price of Premiere). For more information, visit their website at www.privateescapes.com.
