Something I want to share with you all about vouchers. On another forum jealous competitors mentioned that vouchers can be purchased and mentioned a few websites.
I went to one of the websites and guess what? To purchase a voucher to go to JUST ONE place for vacation, (Coastal has over 30 vouchers for DIFFERENT vacations in the package) costs about
$15-to-$20 PER VOUCHER and the MINIMUM order is 100!!
Folks that's $1500 for just one type voucher!!!
WE at COASTAL are offering 30 different vouchers PLUS 20 different cards, cruises and vacations for $1295!!!!!!
So if anyone ever asks again if the Coastal package is worth it....I think I just gave a very good answer to that objection!

Terri,
That is an excellent point to bring up (I think I know which forum you're talking about, LOL, and the main person who keeps posting). In fact, one of the best things to promote when selling B2B is that very thing you mention. Yes, you can purchase some of these incentives elsewhere, but in all cases you must spend a minimum order - as you point out for just ONE voucher.
Not only that, but all of those vouchers are only valid for a period of a year - not LIFETIME like Coastal!
So where's the value? I think we all know

I just want to make sure that no one took my message the wrong way; I love the packages and everything, I just feel like the shipping is slow. I hope that they do allow you to order the vouchers online as this would expedite the process. That's all no biggie!
Can one of the you pm me the website that you all are referring to? Thanks in advance!

THe BOD system is antiquated, which is why so many teams and systems popped up to "support" people.
Ordering online might not be such a big deal, you'll still have to pay via a money order or check. That part of Coastal have never changed. They only take good money and credit card systems, are still 1000 years away from the BOD for taking payments. Why? THey are scared of fraud, but that is what you get with a business. Almost all good and then very little bad, and the good always overshadows the bad orders and pays for itself 1000 times over.
The BOD is slow to change, but they do change, look at all the changes in the last 3 years, there are many many positives.
But, somethings, like shipping, you can't fight it, just work within their system, and it all gets taken care of eventually.
Someday it may morph and change, and that's the way it is.
Come Saturday.... the WCYS call center will have a better solution.
Stand by for a big announcement next week.
Jeff

ok, I got the brochures now for the Vegas trip and have two questions... 1. I heard that I can call the number on the brochure to make the actual reservations instead of mailing in the brochure, is the true?
2. The voucher says hotel and 500 cash, chips, etc but the brochure says either/or. However, there is another paper that says 500 cash, chips,etc and to mail it in to redeem. So could someone clairify this for me? I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

I think I received the same vouchers that you are talking about when I sent the form in a while back.
If I remember correctly, I mailed the processing fee for both (one money order written to the same company) and got a coupon booklet for the chips, etc. and a glossy for the stay which gives a private website for booking as well as a phone number.
Since these terms are available according to the brochure, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to book your stay via phone...
