only a few days left in 2024 to be able to renew your membership at the $30/3year rate! (no the price isnt actually going up, but there are only a few days left in 2024! ) 🤪

https://renewal.tug2.net

Once 2024 ends, you will have to wait until January 1st 2025 and renew at the regular (really, its exactly the same same) rate! So dont delay!

This was such a popular topic last year with TONS of owners renewing at the "last minute buy 2 get one year free" rate, im going to run this promotion every year (even though it runs all year every year anyway, now at the end of the year its even more special!) =D

if anyone wants to go back and read last years thread, it was very amusing!

if you log into tug2.com it will be displayed on your dashboard!

also one can submit reviews of resorts that havent been reviewed in 6mo or more to extend for free!

and lastly, even if your membership doesnt renew until next year, any renewal will add on to your existing expiration date...you wont lose anything by renewing early!

@TUGBrian thanks! I'm good through October 2026, so I think I won't renew at this time. I'll do a review of our home timeshare, Maui Hill, after we stay next March to get the 6 month extension.

I better act fast so I don't miss out.
You are free, so I get it. Do you get free classified ads as well?

I am renewing for 3 years. How many classified ads do I get for that money? I need more. I used to just let them expire, but I have so many weeks to list, I am going to take advantage of those ads.

I must get free classified ads. I just checked and it shows I have 10039 ad credits. I think ever only had 45 at most and used some of them for weeks I listed for sale. @TUGBrian must add 10,000 ad credits for Lifetime Membership?

Though I see that when joining it says "All members get FREE resale, rental and exchanges in the marketplace!". So perhaps ad credits aren't limited anymore?

generally members get 25 free ad credits for every year of paid membership, unfortunately many brokers use their full allotment of credits and then renew to get more vs pay the $3 per ad credit to add to their balance of ad credits. we try to be as fair as possible to allow us to never raise prices in over 30 years!

I appreciate TUG for so many reasons.

I had a member contact me through TUG to rent a couple of weeks he saw on Redweek and thought they might be my rentals. I told him that the RW ads were mine, which begs the question, why am I not using TUG for everything I rent.
