Thanks very much for everyone's input.

I've been doing further research and have actually discovered videos on YouTube of people at resorts filming their experience and showing quality of rooms and proof of rates that they have paid.

I am starting to think that the Global Resorts Network travel membership is really one of the best deals out there for a discount travel option that is best suited for my family and I.

I appreciate those whom are skeptical of the Multi Level Marketing format of selling a product. And obviously understand that many of the negative comments from "Time Share" owners are understood. The reason I wanted to learn about Global Resorts is because the Time Share options my husband and I were review cost ALOT of money to get started with and then there are continual fees, dues, and restrictions you must deal with as an owner.

This exactly what lead me to search for a more viable discount travel solution. I'm considering joining Global Resorts Network as a member because of what I've seen in the videos and testimonials from actual people whom have stayed at GRN resorts.

If it is a Multi Level Marketing home business I really don't see how that effect me if I want to use this membership to enjoy having my family together more often. It doesn't really concern me if the product is sold through multiple distributors such as a car lot or a franchised chain store in a mall. As long as the company that backs the membership has been reputable and reliable for a decent amount of time (Which I discovered that the product provided by Global Resorts Network is actually over 20 years old). Then was concern is it of mine how this product is sold?

I'm glad we live in a world of such amazing technology that we can view actual videos of the resorts and rooms and amenities offered by Global Resort on the internet. I feel this is a much more valuable product than a timeshare and look forward to the many vacations to come with my family and I. And best of it's not going to cost me ten's of thousands of dollars to get involved with.

But had to dig all over the place such as YouTube and other sites to find more information and also discover the videos that have really helped convince me that the Global Resorts membership will work best for my family and I. Plus I discovered after speaking to one of GRN's top sales people - Derrick Harper - that the Global Resorts Network Platinum Membership is able to be "Deeded" and "Willed" for up to 99 years from date of purchase in the event something should happen to my husband or I - Then our children or any relative can continue to utilize the membership.

That's some pretty long term thinking on part of this 20 something year old company. I'm guessing their in it for the long haul and not a short dollar.

Thanks every one for your guidance and assistance, especially you Michele.

Best,

Janelle, just to be on the safe side please reseach all you can concerning GRN. Many people that may be glamourizing it may be an affiliate of GRN since it's a multi- level marketing business. Each affiliate that signs up a new member gets paid for doing so from what I gather.

Go to 'research forums' (top right hand corner) and also go to www.tugbbs.com and use their search feature to check out what their members have to say (very knowledgeable timeshare owners there).
