Hi I tried to find the answer but had no luck. I'm thinking of becoming a member but can't find what the difference is between being a guest and a member. Can you guys help me out with the bonus of becoming a member and if its worth it. Thanks for the help

Only members can post Ads in the Marketplace, and it's free.

Only members can access the Sightings and Distressed forum, where TUG members post the best exchanges available from the exchange companies, and offer exchanges they can't use to other Tuggers.

I think everyone can access the TUG Advice Page? Try it - link in red bar, top of page.

Non members can read and respond to classified ads in the Market Place but as Denise says, you must be a member to place ads there.

Once you pay your $15 you get a bunch of free ads to place and you can extend your membership by submitting reviews of resorts you visit.

I paid when I joined and have been riding the free renewals from posting reviews since then. It's money well spent, you will get a lot of knowledge here. If you can't afford the membership you will still be welcome to participate and learn.

Don't know if you have a timeshare or are thinking about buying one, all I can say is becoming a Tugg member has been the best $15. a year I have ever spent. I have learned so much here. Just the ratings and reviews section is really worth it. I always read those before I book a resort. I have never been disappointed with my selections.
