The Good:

This is a unique travel site, we have not come across another like it!   It can be very difficult to save up money to pay for a vacation, and with Players Vacation Club you can easily get approved for a vacation payment plan. If you pay all of your payments on time, not only will you improve your credit rating, but you won’t pay interest! Keeping your your vacation payment plan payments on time is easy, because they are automatically deducted from your checking account.

The Bad:

You cannot compare prices on Players Vacation Club, like you can on most major online travel sites. Rather, you just pick your destination and request a “quote”.   Prior to confirming a vacation, we highly recommend, you compare pricing for the same vacation package or cruise on another site to make sure that their vacation payment plan pricing is in-line with the other travel sites.   Your destination options are limited to only the destinations that Players Vacation Club currently carries, which change frequently.  The good news is that you can suggest destinations to Players Vacation Club by submitting an email to info@playersvacationclub.com.   Finally, we think that Players Vacation Club is missing out on a huge market: FAMILIES!    They currently only offer a vacation payment plan for 1-2 travelers.  If you have a family, you can still book a vacation, but you can only finance 2 travelers in your family.    We hope that they expand their options and add a vacation payment plan for families in the future.

The Fees *:
  • Vacation Club Membership
    • Membership Fee:  2 payments of $44.50 yearly.
