What other travel options are available if I can’t find what I’m looking for on the Grand Getaways website?

Simply call our Member Service Center at 888-269-0182 for our complete list of offerings.

While our website displays a wide variety of vacation offers and discounts, airfares and cruise fares, it only reflects about 30% of the amazing benefits and inventory the club has to offer.

Here’s why. More than 75 million searches occur daily across all major Global Distribution Systems (GDS). Our travel specialists have access to these systems for the most up-to-date, minute-by-minute itineraries.

Since there are more than two million fare changes daily, it is virtually impossible to show every price and itinerary on our website.

Is my club membership investment protected by using Stewart Vacation Ownership?

Stewart Title Company has been in business for more than 110 years.

With more than 9,500 offices worldwide, Stewart Vacation Ownership (SVO), a division of Stewart Title, has partnered with Grand Getaways as the escrow agent of record.

So exactly how does this benefit you? The answer is simple.

All funds are held in escrow by SVO for a mandatory three-day rescission period to protect your investment. Upon expiration of the recession period, all monies are released to the appropriate parties to complete the sale transaction.

This added step provides assurance that your investment is well-protected. You’re dealing with a company that has a longstanding and stellar reputation within the financial industry. It’s called peace of mind.
