Description

One Key started in 2006, but in January 2009 announced it was closing operations due to the economy.

This luxury travel club had a different model to the destination clubs in that it didn''t own any of its homes. This means that members did not need to pay a large initial membership fee (which the other clubs use to buy their homes). Instead the club operated similar to a prepaid jet card, so members bought an initial membership level which gives them a certain number of points (called "One Key Nights"). The club then provides access to a variety of homes which have different points values depending on season, location, size and amenities of the home.

The club also provided various pre-trip and during trip services and amenities for its members.

The club had three membership levels:

  •   45 One Key nights for $99,900
  •   25 One Key nights for $59,900
  •   15 One Key nights for $39,900

Members could use their points over any time period and unused points did not expire.

The club was headquartered in Mansfield, MA.

    As the six of us boarded the flight for Rome, I made one last nonchalant reach into my backpack to make sure it was still there. Every time I thought about it, I panicked. What if it isn’t there? I just...
