Global Resorts Network - Is MOR Vacations Now Better?
October 21, 2008
I am not sure I would say MOR Vacations is better than GRN, it is just another option for consumers. Better would really come down to the individual who is considering both products to decide, don’t let someone else decide for you. From a pure product perspective, they are very similar in nature and both have access to over 5,000 resorts worldwide and a great majority of those properties are the same. When you dig deeply there are definitely some differences between the two that should be taken into consideration doing your due diligence.
One of the most noticeable differences comes in the form of hotweeks. Global Resorts Network offers an overabundance of hotweeks in Asian markets such as Malaysia and Singapore. And this makes sense considering their travel service company was created in Asia and was only introduced to the US more recently for Global resorts Network. In contrast, the hotweeks offered by MOR Vacations appear to be almost solely based in the US, again this makes sense as well since the travel service company was founded in the US. For anyone in other parts of the world there are a few hotweeks here and there for various other countries but both companies lack in international hotweeks. From a pricing perspective MOR Vacations hotweeks begin at $149 and Global Resorts Network hotweeks begin at $298. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this change however because Global Resorts Network has been trying to copy as much as they can from MOR Vacations in a struggle to remain relevant. Simple math would dictate who wins here, $149 trumps $289 any time, so the hotweeks winner is MOR Vacations, unless you are interested in the Asian market savings, then in that case you would go with more expensive option.
The price, for many years Global Resorts Network has sold their lifetime membership for $3,000 which I think is a great price. But if you didn’t have $3,000 and wanted alternative options such as financing you couldn’t get it. That is where MOR Vacations differentiates itself. MOR vacations offers many financing options so that people are able to get purchase the membership they desire. And if you do have the full price you can get in for cheaper than what Global Resorts Network would cost you. Really the majority of people that buy timeshares and vacation memberships etc do so through financing so this was a large piece of the pie that Global Resorts Network has always left on the table. Once MOR vacations threw their hat in the arena and announced financing Global Resorts Network quickly announced their own financing option of $998 down and monthly payments off of the $3000. Good for Global Resorts Network for finally stepping up and offering something that many have been asking for for a long time. MOR Vacations still offers more financing options so people can get in for even cheaper than what they could at Global Resorts Network. I give the edge to MOR Vacations due to the fact that they offer MOR options, plus Global Resorts Network ignored the requests from their affiliates until competition finally arrived, so points get deducted for that. Another option Global Resorts Network offers is a 3 year Gold Membership for $1500, MOR vacations offers a 5 year Emerald membership for $1298 - this one is obvious MOR Vacations wins hands down.
The home business opportunity, the business opportunity available through GRN earned lots of money for lots of people. And this can be attributed to the perpetual leverage compensation model. The real strength of perpetual leverage lies in the facts that real people at the bottom can and do earn more money than the people at the top. If there is one glaring flaw with the GRN perpetual leverage payplan, It is that anyone just getting started with the business do not make a commission on their first sale and if you are a free affiliate you will not earn anything for your first 2 sales. This has always posed a serious challenge to anyone getting into the business with limited funds because they will spend money on advertising but ultimately not make a nickel and by the time they are eligible to make a commission they may not have additional funds left to advertise with. This has been addressed by some conscientious sponsors sharing their commission with their downline, but quite a lot of the sponsors out there have no interest in sharing commissions. MOR Vacation has made changes to perpetual leverage that helps out the people just starting out and they have renamed it true perpetual leverage.MOR Vacations has taken care of some of the funding issues that new affiliates are susceptible to by paying 50% commissions to people on their very first sale to keep them funded. At the time of my writing this GRN also announced they would be changing their payplan to do the same thing, unfortunately it takes a new company to scare them in to doing what it takes to attempt to stay relevant but it may be too little to late for GRN. Another blatantly apparent difference between the two is that GRN charges its affiliates $100 a year to be an affiliate and MOR Vacations doesn’t charge a thing. This one is a no brainer, the edge clearly goes to MOR Vacations.
