I have used my packages so much, in
4 years, we have saved well over $22,000 on our trips and I will
back that up for you now.
1. Wanted to go First Class from
Minneapolis to Oahu, 3 tix needed, price was $4043 each ticket
online at NorthWest Airlines. Using my Coastal Vendor, got the 3
tix down to $1600 each. (saved $7329.00)
2. Stayed in a beach front Condo
(Valley Isle) on Maui for one week, paid $598, non member prices
are $800-$1600 for the week.
3. Stayed in a two bedroom Condo
in Orlando Florida (Cypress Point Grandvillas) in September,
paid $400 total for the whole week, normal costs are $1183 for
the week.
Friend of mine stayed same week in
a 1 bedroom Condo, only paid $107 for entire week.

4. Just booked another week in
September coming up, at same place, 2 bedroom, for $576, I
booked it really early, so I paid a few bucks more.
5. Stayed at Grovsnor (Walt
Disney World Resort Hotel, Orlando, FL) using one of the 2 night
3 day vouchers (Get Up And Go Vendor). Normal Rates are $200
per night. I actually went by myself, 3 nights 4 days, which is
adding a one day extension, and only paid $53 total for the
whole thing.
6. Stayed in Wyndham Palms and
Golf Club in Kissimmee, FL for two nights, got a master king
bedroom with hot tub, bathroom, shower, then a separate living
room, leather couches, big screen TV, dinning room, and full
kitchen also with Washer and Dryer for $99 a night which is 50%
off. Regular rates are $200-$350 per night. Used my Hotel Access
Card for that trip.
7. Just book the exact same
Wyndham resort, again, using Access Card, and paid $109 per
night for two nights, which I will be staying during the
bi-annual Coastal Convention. Prices went up a year later I
suppose $10.
8. Went over to Okoboji, Iowa for
a Lake front vacation with my family in July for a week. Could
not get any discounts for lodging, but using
Coastal vendors was
able to save over $90 on Golfing and also $10.50 on a free
pizza. That is $100 savings on that trip.
9. I just booked a week long
condo stay in Maui again for
$550 for the entire week, at
the Sands of Kahana,
wonderful place to stay,
right on the beach! Dates
Dec. 31-Jan 7 which is high
season holiday week too!
(Normal price, non members
$1800-$3000 per week).
10. I just stayed in
Orlando, Florida, at a Pool
Home, for $887 for 5 nights,
and 6 days, four bedroom,
sleeps 10 people. Was
introduced to the pool home
vendor through the
membership in Coastal or I
would have never found out
about the 250 homes I can
rent for a week in the
Disney Area! I rented a mini
van from one of our vendors
for less than $200 for the 6
days too! Normal price is
$400!
11.
I just went on a two week cruise to Alaska and Washington State.
While in Washington, I used the new Travel Agent Card to get
some great benefits worth $200 in savings. We got a free
room upgrade at the Holiday inn StayBridge Suites from a one
bedroom to a two bedroom suite, with all the trimmings...
Kitchen, fridge, stove, etc...Then we also booked a rental car.
By showing the travel agent card, we got a free car class
upgrade and 10% off our car rental!
12.
I took a group of leaders down to Puerto Vallarta in May, 2007.
We got a 3 Bedroom Condo, and a 1 Bedroom Condo all FREE. How? I
used my position in the Coastal Vacations business to leverage
my way into into 2 free rooms, which saved us about $7000 in
costs.
13.
My wife just booked another Alaska Cruise for our family, and 5
other cabins as well (her mom's friends are coming). We used the
travel agency membership recommended with Coastal at the time,
and as a travel agent, we got about a $2225 commission from the
cruise line.
14.
My wife (she likes to run the travel agency side of the
business, which is fine by me) recently booked a Disney Cruise
going out of Los Angeles, in July 2008. We booked 3 cabins for
us and our family. Total commissions as a travel agent will be
about $1500.
15.
My wife and I just got back from a week long trip to Kauai in
February, 2008. Normal price was $2300 for the week and we got a
condo on the beach (Kauai Coast Resort) for $800 for the week.
