I just ordered the "latest 2019" shirt from Hip Together, but I also ordered the TUG Island Logo Pocket Print shirt from Amazon, so now I'll have two TUG shirts to choose from! I wish the one from Hip Together had the TUG Island logo on it - would help keep it from being sort of plain. Do we still get a year's membership for buying a shirt? If not, that's fine, just curious!
*note buying this shirt and providing TUG a photo of you wearing it at your timeshare will grant you a free year membership to offset the cost of the shirt!

Thanks! Our next timeshare vacation is at DVC SSR, so I won’t need to fend off any sales weasels but can wear my shirts with pride to educate others! I’ll get a photo!

This is the 20th year my wife and I have owned our first timeshare. I’ve been a TUG member for nearly as long. Today, wearing this shirt and walking into and around this small resort certainly made me feel good AND turned heads! I also educated the sales guy about the value of our Timeshare Users Group which he never heard of...sweet!

am somewhat surprised it limits me to only 5 color options per product. no idea why they wouldnt let you offer it in any color they have available that someone would want to buy!

Received my “keep calm” just in time…although i have yet to be bothered at check-in/parking pass people at the resorts. Yet the sales-team at our local BassPro shop is ridiculous. Have a package pickup on Thursday - hoping to pass and get my stuff with them following me around the store.

Love my shirt but Rick said I cannot wear it at the resorts, only at home. So what's the point of the shirt? He thinks I will get harassed, but I think I look like a genius when I wear it.

wear it at the pool, i still have a TUG towel i take with me on vacation to use at the pool.

he might have a point if you wore it to a sales presentation, but it almost always generated positive conversations by the pool whenever for me!

struck up one almost every day when at frenchmans cove! almost to a tee, not a single one of the owners i chatted with had any idea they could buy marriott on the resale market.

I ordered today specifically for a sales presentation... Before I saw these comments about the risk of getting kicked out.

I really dont think there is much of a risk of that to be perfectly honest.

now if you were to go out of your way to disrupt the sales office/etc...thats a different matter.

TUG isnt "anti salesperson", its "pro owner knowledge". if a salesperson cant reasonably deal with someone in front of them thats well informed about resale vs retail, thats their problem.
