Extend your TUG membership by writing reviews!

[TUGBrian]

is no ability to edit a review once its posted by the poster.

yes, the 2/6mo membership renewal awards are still in effect.

there is a note in every single renewal email reminding users how to cash them in.

Does the note tell you if you have renewal awards? I recently renewed my membership and I don't recall it saying I had any renewal awards and I've submitted reviews.

It doesn't. You have to keep track of these things on your own. When you get the renewal e-mail, just reply to indicate you want to extend membership with renewal credits. It would be good if there was somewhere that we could see how many credits we have at any given time.

 

[TUGBrian]

nothing more is required other than you to reply to the renewal email and say "please extend me with reviews"

you dont have to list them for us, you dont have to plead your case...we take care of it all =)

you can click your "resort review history" link within the tug2.com member homepage to view all the TUG reviews you have submitted.

Is there somewhere where I can see if I've ever used any of my credits and/or how many credits I have as I have over 10 reviews posted and honestly I'm not sure I ever used the credits to extend my membership.

 

[TUGBrian]

welcome to email me at tug@tug2.net and ill be happy to look it up for you!

note if you have been extended, you would have gotten an email notification of the extension!

 

[Egret1986]

That was helpful info.

you can click your "resort review history" link within the tug2.com member homepage to view all the TUG reviews you have submitted.

Maybe I knew about this before, but forgot. I was just recently wondering how many reviews I have submitted. Now I know.

 

[TUGBrian]

its no problem, there are plans to expand this significantly in the future with the new site and all. hopefully itll become far more popular! Id also like for folks to be able to link their own review history in their bbs profile to share with everyone! (if you want to anywya)

Problem posting a review

Hi Brian,
I wrote a review and am having trouble posting it. I saw where the resort said "Review Award Available". I clicked on that and it took me to this page:

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

I saw two clickables. One which would take me to this thread and the other saying Review Submission Award. When I hovered over that clickable, it showed in a pop-up at the bottom left of my screen that the address was http://www.tug2.com/RnR/RateAndReviewResort.aspx

However, that link didn't work. Instead it took me to the page: http://www.tug2.com/Home.aspx

So I ended up essentially where I started. I'm a slow learner so I did this at least two times. :hysterical:

Can you comment on why I'm having problems?

Thanks, Brian.

 

[TUGBrian]

yea, I need to update that review page badly...with the beginning of the year and the new site rollout...(and me being sick) im slammed with to-dos!

you dont need to submit the review through the review award page to get credit for the review.

just browse to the resort in question here:

http://tug2.com/BrowseResorts.aspx?Top TUG Resorts&top=TUG

once there, click "write a review" and it will let you submit it for that resort right then and there.

 

[TUGBrian]

update...I edited the page to reflect the info I posted above.

also we should indeed have a "Write a review" page that folks can just go to from anywhere, vs having to navigate to the resort (an extra step)...so ill add that to the todo list.

 

[BJRSanDiego]

Thanks Brian,

I was able to post the review by going to the resort page and then searching the bar on the left.

Previously I had intuitively (?) clicked on "Review Award Available" thinking that it would take me to the write a review page.

In the previous version of the review section I kind of remember that it was easier to find the "write a review" section.

Thanks for the feedback. It worked.

its avail at the top dropdown of any tug2.com page under "resorts and reviews"

its also on the top left of the main tug2.com page (it used to be at the top left of all review pages, but i see its missing...have to get that back).

I went ahead and updated the link on the review award page to go directly to the start of writing a review, thanks for the feedback!

[epcmart]

I just submitted my review of HDM Cabo today as well.

 

[epcmart]

Actually, is there a way to edit my review before or after its published?
I would like to add a few more details.

 

[TUGBrian]

we can edit a review yes, do you want to just add a paragraph? email the corrections to tug@tug2.net and ill paste them in for you.

I visited Marco Island Resort and club, as we were visiting next door, I got to see the units, the grounds and find out some information. would you want me to write it up as a review if i didn't stay there.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I would think the more reviewed the better as long as you have meaningful input that you could provide. Just be sure to indicate that you didn't stay and it was a day visit.

Just curious, is there a limitation of 1 year to extend membership using review credits? I submitted many this past year, most saying reward available, can't figure out the math unless it's limited to a 1 year extension using review credits.

 

[TUGBrian]

yes, we only ever extend you one year for free...but you can extend year after year with your reviews...they dont expire.

 

[GrayFal]

yes, we only ever extend you one year for free...but you can extend year after year with your reviews...they dont expire.

Oops! Just saw this. I have done 8 reviews this year alone. So I just keep replying back each year and say “ please use my review credits” ?
