I was a member for a few years, I think it was $50 or so.

Problem was I was traveling for biz so often that I was racking up TONS of hotel points, so we would redeem these points for hotels rather than using the Hideaways properties.

I was thinking of joining again now that I do not travel for business much anymore (no hotel points) and our family is going to Puerto Rico this Spring. There are sooooo many house/villa/condo listings online that it seemed foolish to pay the fee for the Hideaways listing. I would guess that this is the case for many different areas of the world.

Our travel style does also not fit into the Hideaways program. Almost all properties required a full week at the property. We rarely are in the same place for more than 3-4 nights so that did not work for us.

Also as a twosome the $ was just too high for the properties we wanted IMO.

This spring trip will be w/my parents, brother's family and my wife&I. Then pricing becomes reasonable.
