For the rest of the month of March, any qualifying review submitted by a new member will automatically earn said member a TUG Award Credit.

This credit can be redeemed for a 6 month extension on your current TUG membership, or used for a Free Classified ad in the Legacy Ad section.

These awards never expire and are linked to your account, so as long as you remain an active TUG member, you can use them at any time.

As a bonus bonus, you will also still qualify for regular review awards (any resort review of a resort that has not been reviewed for over 6months). So you have the capability to get 1 full year of membership for free for a single review!

You also qualify for the quarterly bonus award, which earns you either a Free vacation week of your choice from our availability, or a lifetime membership!

To qualify for this, there are a few stipulations you must follow

1. The resort review must not have any errors. Please be sure the resort is entered properly, and you match up the review to the correct resort code!

2. The resort review must be detailed and contain the appropriate information about the resort...you can see the information required here:

http://www.tug2.net/resortreviewaward.htm

No it doesnt have to have every single one...but it must be a solid and informative review containing the majority of those items.

"Great place, will stay again, 8.5 rating" while important in its own right for members...will not qualify for this reward =)


3. You must have stayed in the resort within the past year (or reallllly close) so date of visit must be after March 2006.

I do not want to see submissions from 1995! =)

Looking forward to seeing what you guys do here!

Do you have to be a new member to qualify?

Pardon?

You should enter the reviews here:

http://tug2.com/RnR/RateAndReviewResort.aspx

The username/pw for that section is not your BBS username and password, its the TUG member only one provided to you when you joined.

same thing you use to get into the ratings/reviews.

Deadlines help!

Thank you, that motivated me to submit one just now, and I'll try to get to another one I visited this past year by the end of the month!

I am so glad this is happening!

I don't have a resort to review but I am sure looking forward to the fresh info that others will enter. It was my only disappointment when I joined TUG a few months ago... that many of the resort reviews I was most interested in were really, really, REALLY old.

Good incentive program! Thanks for implementing it!

I can understand that you don't want reviews from 1995, but what about 2005?

Tug Resort Reviews

It would be great if Tug had an review editor
that would edit the reviews check for grammar
spelling & make them look & read like magazine
and newspaper articles

I am not the best writer - but I try
I am better at numbers and Taxes!

I don't know about other area reps, but I usually try to take care of any glaring spelling or grammatical errors (although I usually don't touch those obviously written by our British or Canadian cousins). I also break up long run-on paragraphs on occasion.

Is every March bonus month, or just this March? I did two reviews in February, but could have easily waited until March for the bonuses!:rolleyes:
