Below find a number of commonly asked queries and their answers Frequently Asked Questions 1.Where can I Exchange to as a member? This depends on how many Pestana weeks you own. Our resorts in Madeira, Algarve and Brazil are available to all members. Selected resorts are available to Gold level members. Platinum and Prestige members can choose from the full range of Partners. 2. How much does it cost to become a Loyalty member? A registration fee is payable at the time of enrolment, this cost depends on the number of weeks owned and it covers the entire length of the lease. 3. What are the annual costs of membership? There are NO annual membership fees to pay. Once registered, you only pay for your exchanges, which is at a much lower rate than through P.E.N (Pestana Exchange Network) 4. How late can I request an exchange? Exchange requests can be made up to 7 working days before the check in date, subject of course to availability. 5. How far in the future can I Bank my week? Members can bank their weeks up to a maximum of 2 years prior to their starting date. 6. What are Pestana bonus weeks? These are weeks at Pestana resorts that are predominately in Mid and Low season periods, that can be booked by Gold, Platinum and Prestige Loyalty members for just the cost of the relevant resort apartment maintenance fee. Subject of course to availability,there is no limit to the number of bonus weeks a member can request. 7. What are Partner resorts? There are an increasing number of quality resort companies who, like us feel that their members do not necessarily enjoy the level of quality exchange options and availability through the more traditional holiday exchange providers. They therefore are happy to offer an informal, private exchange option to Pestana Gold, Platinum and Prestige Loyalty members. 8. What is meant by ‘split week’ exchange? To increase the flexibility to owners we are able at certain Pestana resorts, offer the option to split your week’s membership into a 3 night and a 4 night stay at different times and/or locations. If you choose to use this option you will pay the relevant exchange fee for each visit. 9. If I buy weeks at a Pestana resort privately, can I add them to Loyalty? We regret that unless your weeks were purchased through an official Pestana agent they cannot be used to access the P.E.N. Nor do they qualify for Loyalty benefits. 10. If I inherit a week at a Pestana Vacation Club resort, can I add it to Loyalty? Yes, providing the week(s) was purchased from an official Pestana agent, then any week inherited can be included in Loyalty. 11. Why is there no set discount for Web offers from the Pousada and Hotel divisions? Each division works as a separate entity within the Group structure, their marketing structures differ greatly from ours as they are dealing with time in a different way. Therefore it is extremely difficult for them to offer a set level for long term discounts. Each enquiry/booking we make on your behalf will qualify for the best discount we can obtain at the time. 48 Contact Details Reservations To request an exchange, additional rental space, bonus weeks, or an apartment upgrade, please telephone the number below.
