Flat-Fee Membership — Not a Timeshare

Club Travalia

Club Travalia is a Miami-based flexible vacation membership — not a timeshare. It charges a flat annual enrollment fee (around $238/year) with no points, deed, or maintenance fees. Members book resorts, cruises, and suites through travel partnerships, and are automatically granted Interval International Platinum status for week exchanges at 3,200+ resorts. It also bundles access to Sunset World Resorts (Cancún/Riviera Maya) and The Club at Maingate near Orlando, plus cruise pricing on Carnival, Princess, and Cunard. You can add up to four family members or friends at no extra cost and cancel anytime.

Premium Feel, Premium Fees

Ascendant Holidays

Ascendant Holidays curates a genuinely high-end portfolio — suites, private balconies, concierge service. But the membership math only works if you travel in peak seasons and use your full allotment.

Arrivia-Powered, Webinar-Sold

Aloha Travelers

Featured Partner · Sponsored

Aloha Travelers is a travel-savings membership operated by Aloha Hawaii Tours & Travel and built on the Arrivia loyalty platform. Membership is sold through a live ~45-minute webinar and unlocks 'closed-user-group' pricing plus Savings Credits (getaway cash) toward flights, hotels, cruises, car rentals, and activities. Costs typically begin with a low annual fee, with optional paid tier upgrades. Independent reviews are mixed — some members report real savings on tours and luaus, while others flag high-pressure webinars and 'wholesale' prices that don't always beat public sites.

The Engine Behind Many Clubs

Arrivia

Arrivia (based in Scottsdale, AZ) is the largest stand-alone travel loyalty provider — a business-to-business platform that banks, brands, and membership clubs use to power their own travel programs. You don't join 'Arrivia' directly; you meet it as the booking engine and rewards system behind a branded club. Members get subscription-based, closed-user-group pricing on 1.5M+ hotels, 30,000+ cruise itineraries from 40+ lines, flights, and 150,000+ activities, earning flexible Savings Credits that redeem dollar-for-dollar toward travel.
