Global Resorts Network - Is MOR Vacations Now Better?

By Mike Pereira

Better is in the eye of the beholder. There are only so many resorts and so many timeshare properties to pull inventory from, MOR or Less they are very close in offering. They both offer 5000 plus resorts to their members. There are some real differentiators though.

The hotweeks , Global Resorts Network travel service, was originally founded in Asia, thus they offer a lot more hotweeks in Asian areas such as Malaysia and Singapore, yes they have a small US office but that was really just created for the Global Resorts Network opportunity. The original membership is overseas based. If you live in Malaysia and Singapore then Global Resorts Network is your answer. If you live just about anywhere else then you have better options. MOR Vacations travel service partner is a US based company always has been and still is so they offer a LOT more hotweeks in the US that US based members can actually drive too. Additionally Global Resorts Network hotweeks begin at $298, MOR Vacations hotweeks begin at $149 - $149 is obviously cheaper than $298. So people in Asia or who have interest in traveling to Asia often are better off with Global Resorts Network, US based customers are better off with MOR Vacations. For the rest of the world it's fairly similar, but again $149 beats $298 so edge to MOR Vacations.

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 compelling home based business opportunity being offered by Global Resorts Network has made many people lots of money courtesy of the perpetual leverage pay plan. The true power of perpetual leverage is that people at the bottom can and do make more money than people at the top. Some of the complaints that were voiced about the compensation plan were geared towards the fact that people just getting into the business were not able to earn commissions on their first sale and someone coming in as a free affiliate would not earn for their first sales. The nature of the business is that many people make 1 or 2 sales and then can't afford to stay in business because they haven't earned any money coming in to fund their future advertising. Unfortunately this has been the case for many people with limited funds, they spend what little they have to line the pockets of their sponsor before they cant afford to stay in business. Now many conscientious sponsors would share their commissions to help their fund their downline, but many of the greedier sponsors out there would not. MOR Vacations utilizes perpetual leverage as well, but has made a few tweaks to assist newer members and has renamed their compensation plan true perpetual leverage. MOR Vacations has alleviated the issue of new affiliate commissions by making sure that every affiliate will make 50% commissions on their first sale and full commissions every sale beyond that. At the time of my writing this Global Resorts Network announced a change to their policy to do the same thing, but again it took a serious competitor to step in to make them finally listen to the requests of their affiliates. Another difference between the two is that MOR Vacations does not charge its affiliates a fee to be an affiliate, whereas Global resorts Network charges $100 a year. The edge here is glaringly apparent MOR Vacations again wins hands down.
