Just the FAQs

We would love to show you how you can use your membership to save hundreds of dollars on your vacations. You can call us at 1-888-754-1270 or schedule a demo from the the blue button at the top of this page.

Yes! Our members routinely save up to 60% booking with us when compared to Expedia and other online travel agencies. We are wholesalers of travel, and guarantee the resorts a certain number of bookings per year. In exchange for this guarantee, we are given wholesale rates and are able to pass on the savings to members of our club. Check out our video here to learn more.

While the risk for credit card fraud is a fact of life in the digital age for everyone everywhere, we employ the highest industry standards of compliance when it comes to credit card processing . We make every attempt to ensure that your information is secure, and utilize additional safeguards to ensure that the person making the transaction is the rightful credit card owner, including telephonic voice verification and text message authorization. 

For maximum protection, some of our clients prefer transacting directly over the phone with one of our call center agents instead of inputting their information into a web browser. The choice is up to you.

We also accept alternate forms of payment including crypto currencies and check by phone. You may call us at 1-888-754-1270 if you prefer to use on of these alternative methods of payment. 

Like most things online, there are terms and conditions which we spell out clearly without tiny fine print. We believe in transparency, and prefer to leave the “catching” to baseball teams!  Our terms and conditions can be found by clicking here, or on the footer of our homepage. 

With our LVC-Express travel club membership there are more than 3,500 properties to choose from in over 40 countries. 

When you use your LVC-Express Membership to travel on your 8 day 7 night stays, there are NEVER any timeshare tours required.

However, as a member of the travel club, you do have access to additional trips from some of our partners that DO require a timeshare tour. Those vacations are 100% optional and are provided to you as a “perk” for being a member.

Those properties will never appear in the private booking portal. they will appear as they become available in the section of the website labeled “newest properties” and reservation requests must be made from there. Click here to go there now.

We use several mediums of advertising to reach our prospective members. Landing pages are great, and so are chat-bots, but studies show that telemarketing is still one of the most effective mediums to reach consumers. Please do not hesitate to give us a review here and let us know how your experience was with our agent.

Now THAT’s a great question! Without getting too technical… a few years ago the FCC cracked down on technology that allowed bad guys and scammers to “spoof” a phone number in order to deliver unwanted robo-calls. When you went to call the number back, it was a dead number.  

That technology is the same technology that legitimate companies use that allows them to reach consumers in mass. It’s called predictive or power dialing.

So now what happens, is essentially when the phone carriers like AT&T or T-Mobile see the same number going across their network, multiple times in short order, it is clear that it is a power dialer being used. 

Since the predictive dialing technology is the same as was used by the “bad guys”..the government has mandated that the carrier label that call spam or scam “likely” to protect the consumer.  

So while that DID get rid of the unwanted , illegal robocalls. Legitimate companies like ours that use predictive dialers are caught in the middle. 

If you are a glutton for punishment and want to read more.. head on over to the FCC’s website by clicking here.
