Two-Year Trial Memberships in the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club

DOWNERS GROVE, IL – September 18, 2009 … Experience the extraordinary as a member of the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club with a limited-time offer of unprecedented access and flexibility. Each spacious residence – typically 4,000 square feet with four bedrooms and at least four bathrooms – is a comfortable home away from home for family and friends, and the perfect place for life’s most cherished memories.    

 “This two-year trial offer is designed for those considering a second home or who simply want an extended opportunity to experience club life before making a long-term commitment,” says Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club President Scott Wiseman.  “Families can enjoy the privacy of a spacious home in their choice of popular resort destinations for much less than the cost of comparable hotel suites.  Club membership is an affordable, maintenance-free alternative for those thinking about buying a second home.”

Trial Members may choose from the club’s portfolio of multi-million-dollar residences in the finest beach, mountain and golf destinations, including the Turks & Caicos, Deer Valley and Kiawah Island.   A Global Experience Manager arranges all the details…from a behind-the-scenes private tour of the Turtle Hospital at the South Carolina Aquarium to the chance to ski with an Olympic legend in Sun Valley or meet an artist at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts.

Nights can also be exchanged for credit towards Abercrombie & Kent travel like a family cruise in the Galapagos Islands, an African safari or a trip to Antarctica.

This Two-Year Trial Membership includes the full range of Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club services:

·       A dedicated Global Experience Manager to orchestrate every aspect of your stay and provide expert travel recommendations

·       Pre-arrival grocery shopping

·       Daily housekeeping

·       The superior local knowledge and activity-planning assistance of a Destination Host

For a limited time, Two-Year Trial Memberships in the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club are available beginning at $18,700 per year for 15 nights, an affordable and maintenance-free alternative to a second home.  For more information: www.akresidenceclub.com/twoyeartrial.
