Resort Review Award!!!
 
To help generate needed reviews on resorts that either lack current reviews or resorts which only have older reviews, we are awarding Special Review awards ( these will count the same as a referral award and can be used for either a 6 month membership extension or a free classified ad ).  Also note we have enacted a new permanent review award for any and all reviews!  Details here on the TUGBBS online timeshare community forumshttp://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49009
 
Best of the Quarterly Resort Review Award - Each quarter we pick the best of these new reviews and award the reviewer a free 3 year memebership renewal to TUG!   (note we previously were able to provide an exchange banked week, but due to the difficulty of finding a week someone wanted to use, and the ever decreasing available inventory we are able to access...users were simply not able to effectivly utilize this award...so now starting in 2009 we will simply grant a 36 month membership extension as a thank you for being chosen!)
 
To qualify for this review award, the review must be detailed in the resort information and it must be for a resort that either does not have existing reviews or the last review posted is at least 6 months old.  If the review is qualified, the reviewer will receive the new resort review award.  If the review is not quite award standard, we will ask the reviewer to expand it so they can qualify for this award.
 
Current Results
We have rewarded over 2200 Resort Review Awards to our current members who have taken the extra effort to provide in-depth reviews of resorts that we needed updated input. That works out to over 1100 years worth of Free memberships awarded or 2100+ free classified ads. Let's keep them coming.

The main reason I started this group over 14 years ago was to provide a place that individuals owners could exchange information about the resorts they have visited. I had a bad exchange prior to TUG and now hopefully because of our review database no other member will ever have to go to a resort without knowing what it is really like. The reviews are the heart and soul of our group so please keep them coming even if they are not qualified for this new award. Everyone has different viewpoints and observations and the more resort reviews we have the better it is for all of us.

Why become a TUG member?

There is an extended TUG resort reviews database here on this web site available only to TUG members. There are over 4000 resorts covered by this database now and growing weekly. The reviews also include pictures of the resorts, general resort information and a list of owners' email addresses who are willing to answer additional questions regarding the resorts not covered by the detailed reviews.   This is a quick way to see how our members rate the resorts which they have actually stayed at. It has become a valuable source of information to use when planning for exchanges.
