The Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club has announced a lower priced invitation to join the largest equity-based destination club in the industry. Membership provides access to a portfolio of private homes and villas in the most sought after destinations around the globe, for less than the cost of a typical down payment on a comparable second home. This limited-time offer, expiring March 31, 2010, offers prospective members the chance to buy into the Club as an equity member for 40% less than the initial membership pricing. Annual dues remain the same, and all Club benefits apply.

“There has never been a better time to join the club – nor a better value,” says Scott Wiseman, president of the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club. “The Club’s residences – which are each typically 4,000 square feet with four bedrooms and at least four bathrooms – are comfortable “homes away from home” for family and friends, and the perfect places to experience your most memorable family vacations.”

Membership in the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club is an alternative to owning a second home that is typically only used a few weeks each year. The club’s portfolio features multi-million-dollar residences in the finest beach, mountain and golf destinations worldwide, allowing members to return to a favorite year after year, or explore new destinations as family interests change.

Membership of the club makes travelling with family and friends effortless, with a dedicated Global Experience Manager to make the arrangements - including preparing the home with groceries and preferred amenities. Club contacts provide VIP access to experiences like skiing with an Olympic legend in Sun Valley, meeting a visiting artist at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts or visiting the Turtle Hospital at the South Carolina Aquarium.

Members can also exchange nights towards Abercrombie & Kent travel experiences, such as an adventure cruise in the Galapagos Islands, an African safari, a journey to Egypt or an expedition to Antarctica.

Limited-time Equity Membership Pricing:

A two-year trial membership in the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club is also available for those who want an extended opportunity to experience club life before making a long-term commitment. Families can enjoy the privacy of spacious homes in popular resort destinations for much less than the cost of comparable hotel suites. Two-year trial members pay normal Club dues plus a 10% premium that will be credited to their capital contribution if they later join as a permanent equity member.
