The Global Registry facilitates exchange and travel opportunities through a portfolio of affiliated PRC properties and travel companies. Membership with TGR requires an upfront fee, which includes the first year's annual dues.
TGR operates on a value system that classifies each deposited reservation as platinum, gold, silver or bronze - based on seasonality. The classification awards the PRC owner with a credit to apply towards other PRC accommodations in TGR inventory. Reservation credits can be exchanged for any reservation of equal-or-lesser value. However, two gold reservations do not afford the ability to reserve one platinum reservation. Participation requires payment of the exchange fee.
TGR members can also apply credits towards travel services such as private jet and yacht charters, African safaris, luxury auto rentals, sporting and entertainment tickets and resort accommodations. Each service is valued in comparison to single and/or multiple PRC reservations and requires a $300 transaction fee.
TGR allows PRC owners to deposit unused reservations, either for immediate exchange or account credit.

Private Club Collection is an online marketplace allowing its members to initiate, coordinate and finalize exchanges by themselves. The company and its website are funded by participating PRC developers and operated by a committee of representatives from each participating PRC. PCC membership is free and there is no exchange fee.
PCC members have password-protected access to the company website where exchange requests and other messages are posted and reviewed. If two members reach an exchange agreement, they must complete a trade voucher, which requires both members to fax the voucher to their home PRC and the host PRC. Confirmation is not complete until both PRCs have received faxes from both PCC members.
As a result of the direct exchange process, PCC members cannot deposit unused reservations for future credit and/or exchanges. Any reservation offered on the PCC website is owned and controlled by the owner until a trade voucher is processed.

World's Finest Resorts is a private club whose members can offer vacation property (PRCs, fractionals, second homes and other types of vacation ownership) in return for luxury travel services, lodging packages or rental income. WFR membership is only open to owners of its affiliated resorts, which are strictly reviewed for quality. Joining WFR requires an upfront membership fee and annual dues after year one.
WFR operates on a monetary system where each submitted vacation property earns International Resort Currency™. WFR members can apply this currency towards any travel package or service, resulting in a net price below normal retail prices. The International Resort Currency™ allows members to receive account credit for unused vacation properties.
For vacation owners seeking a direct exchange of lodging accommodations, WFR partners with Resort Choice™, a third-party company that coordinates exchange requests. WFR charges a $135 transaction fee for any exchanges processed by Resort Choice™.
