Don’t fall for scammers or their scams!

 Even when it can be hard to spot scammers, it is not impossible to do so. Scammers rely on various tactics to obtain information. The most common ones are using social media or calling members to gather data and directly calling the member and asking them direct questions. During the chat or call, they may offer gifts, make false promises, or use high-pressure sales tactics to get their desires.

 So, when you doubt whether you are talking to an actual Member counselor, call us or send us a message, we will let you know if they are trying to scam you!

Last Updated 05/2024

Club Recommendations

Follow these tips to protect yourself, your family, and your friends from scammers! • Familiarize yourself with potential vacation ownership scams. • Ignore any offer involving paying more than the original price to exit your contract. • Don't give personal information to unknown people. • Do not pay upfront fees or taxes for services you have not received. • Always check the reviews and reputation of the company that is contacting you. • Google the business address and see if they have an office. If they do, call the office's number. • Don't send a wire transfer after receiving an unsolicited telephone call or email. • Contact a trusted legal or financial expert before making any decisions. • If the person is forcing you for the information, you are probably under a scam attack. • Prior to conducting any transaction, confirm that the reseller's agents are licensed to sell real estate in the same location as your property. Work only with licensed real estate brokers and agents and verify their licenses through the state's licensing agency.

If you remember to follow these tips, you can be sure you will recognize any scammer crossing your path. Please share this information with your closest ones. You can prevent them from being scammed. If you feel that you have been part of a scam, please share details of the scam with us by filling the following format: https://myuvci.com/member-services/scam intake/

FAQ

• Why is there no availability when I call the Club, but I can book nights on websites like Expedia.com? Tafer Resorts were built by the developer, Tafer Development Group. As each week is sold to Club membership, the developer gives one week of space to the Club. For example, If the developer has sold 75% of weeks to the Club, the developer owns the remaining 25% of inventory, and may sell it to wholesale companies like Expedia or other wholesalers. Therefore, you might see advertisements on-line for

space when you cannot book it through the Club. • Member Discount Card vs. VIP Card Discounts

10% Discount Cards are provided automatically for all TRC, and VIP1 members without a presentation. Elite members receive a 15% discount card without attending a presentation. To receive the VIP discount members are required to attend a members update presentation every stay they wish to obtain the discount. Discounts are given solely through the Marketing Department in each destination

and are completely separate from membership benefits. • Do I have to attend an update meeting on every vacation?

Members automatically receive a 10% discount card with no presentation required. To receive the VIP discount, members are required to attend a members update presentation every stay they wish to obtain the discount. We recognize not everyone wants to attend a presentation while they are on vacation, which is why we offer the VIP discount as an incentive to those that attend. • Upgrades subject to availability, no guarantees The complimentary upgrade is an Elite member benefit provided if space is available in the Club Inventory upon check-in. The inventory allotments and assignments follow a very thorough process at our vacation ownership properties. For every membership sold, the Club receives the corresponding inventory from the Developer. Although the Club is allocated a significant amount of inventory, a portion of the inventory is available to the resort developer who purchased the land and built the resort. Therefore, there may be rooms available at a discounted rate through the developer but not available to the Club. • Why can’t I request a specific unit or location prior to arrival? Due to the volume of room requests at the resorts, the Club is not able to guarantee room requests prior to arrival. These are subject to availability (on a first-come, first-served basis). If you should have special requirements based on a medical condition, please contact the Club so that we may make arrangements for you. Last Updated 05/2024

FAQ

• What is the difference between co-owner and beneficiary? A co-owner refers to multiple members on the contract. Co-owners can be added or removed at any time, and all co-owners share an equal responsibility with the membership. A beneficiary is a ´´ tentative ´´ person that could take over a membership as primary if all original members were to be deceased. A beneficiary has no rights or responsibility to the membership without a statement or will from prior to member’s passing. • Can I use the pools and other resort facilities at the sister properties in the region? You are Welcome to use the Restaurants at all sister hotels (Reservations are required; meal plan restrictions may apply.) HOWEVER, the use of pool areas are restricted to the resort at which you are staying. Regarding the spa, only Elite members have access to wet areas, other members must have a spa service scheduled. • What is a Wait List and how does this work? In order to accommodate high levels of use and demand for certain periods of the Calendar Year for certain Projects, the Club Manager shall have the right to establish a special reservation wait list for those days which are unavailable to the Members due to heavy booking. • Can I share my member benefits with my family and friends? Benefits apply to those who are on the contract and are not provided to every guest of member visiting the resort. • Being an Elite member with multiple independent reservations on one trip, should I get the welcome amenities on each reservation? Welcome benefit is applied only once, even with multiple week stays. However, room amenities can be refreshed once per week by request. Last Updated 05/2024

• What happens if I run out of points (10 years) by using the accelerating program, am I still considered a member through the 50-year contract? Can I still use the “preferred points” in summer or rent Club Time during winter season? Per contract, you are part of the Club until expiration date, and can use Preferred Points, Club Time, and buy special promos and getaways. • What is Optimal Use? “Optimal” refers to the flexibility and value of the points you have purchased. Club points may be used in any type or suite, or any Season as referred to in the Club Use Schedule and Points Table. FAQ
