Member Testimonials

Justin Y.
Access Member

"The reason I like the Access Card over other coupon books is because I can use my Access Card multiple times. Once I know the participating merchants, I can just show my card every time I go and save money. I've saved over $1,500 this year on everything from restaurants to car maintenance. "

Dave Y.
Varsity Access Member

"These cards are great...they definitely get your money's worth. I love these cards."

Paul C.
Global Access Member

"Thanks to my Global Access Rewards membership, I saved over $600.00 on golf alone in 2004."

Kristi Waite
Consumers First

"I just wanted to send out a little note to thank John and the others who were instrumental in getting us our Access cards, because I have saved so much money in the last few weeks by using my card. I recently used the card to get a rental car in Seattle, Washington. I needed the car for 5 days with unlimited miles and was able to secure it for $200. If I wouldn't have used my card, it would have been between $600- $700.

"By using the website, I've been able to find savings in a variety of different areas such as car rentals, hotel savings, plane tickets, food venues, movie tickets, etc. and have saved myself and my family quite a bit of money by identifying myself as an Access member. "

Ms. J.M.

"Your program is far better than the Quest program sold through J.C. Penney or Montgomery Ward. Your benefits are better, and you have a lot more properties with hotel, recreation, golf, in addition to the many other benefits that you offer. It’s better than any of the programs we use to sell when I worked for a time share company."

Donald J. Winder

"I recently had occasion, for the first time, to use my Great American Traveler [Hotel Access] Membership. It worked like a charm, securing us a relatively inexpensive room (for Las Vegas standards). With pleasure, I renew for another year."

Christine Ramirez
Varsity Access Member

"I recently traveled to Portland Oregon and used my Access card to get a discounted rate at Marriott Courtyard. What a surprise to get a room for $49 that would have cost me $119 even with a Corporate discount! I ended up staying extra nights.

Additionally, I frequently shop at GNC and am a complete movie fan. I've just discovered that I can use my Access card for theaters and rentals as well!

I typically buy from my son's school promotions, however, never really utilize what I buy. But the Access card is really worth the money I paid and is ending up saving me, a single mom, a lot of money! Savings that will be contributed to my son's college education!

Moving from Plano, Texas to Portland, Oregon in two weeks where, by the way, I can still take advantage of the discounts! Great card! Thanks again!"

Jay B.
Global Access Member Toronto

"I have been a member since 1996 and have recommended Global Access to all my friends and co-workers. This is the best investment I have ever made"

Lynda F.
Varsity Access Member

"Thanks to your card, we saved almost $200.00 on our vacation at the Rio Grand Plaza in Larado, TX."

David H. Mann
Senior Client Representative

"I am writing you this letter to let you know you have a wonderful product with the Great American Traveler [Hotel Access] Membership Program. As a traveling salesman for skill Dynamics, an IBM Company, I use GAT [Hotel Access] on a weekly basis throughout Michigan. When I make my reservations I am amazed at the price differential between the IBM corporate rate and the GAT [Hotel Access]. On average the savings between the GAT [Hotel Access] rate and the IBM corporate rate is 33%."

"The hotels I stay in are excellent with great facilities (pools, whirlpools, weight lifting rooms, and offer first class services.)"

Tina Romanowski

"Just wanted you to know that we used your card in Europe this year, in Switzerland. We saved $200 and had a fabulous room overlooking Zurich's old downtown district."

Paul Goodwine
District Furniture Manager
KOGCO

"Travel is the name of my game. Being the District Furniture Manager for KOGCO, a Manufacturers Rep Group out of Atlanta, Georgia, I travel a territory including Alabama Tennessee, Mississippi and the panhandle of Florida. I average 4 nights a week on the road, approximately 44 weeks a year which totals about 176 motel/hotel nights per year. I am able to use the Great American Traveler [Hotel Access] Membership for approximately 75% of my stays. This saves my company an average of $3,000 to $4,000 per year."

"I am happy to be able to save my company money, and I am just as happy to save personally. This past summer my wife and I traveled to Hawaii to visit our son who is stationed there with the U.S. Army. We stayed in Honolulu for 7 nights, Kauai for 2 nights, and 1 night in Maui. Each night we had superb accommodations in the Outrigger and Aston Hotel chains. On this trip alone we saved about $600, and I might mention, with no hassles."

Chris C.
Varsity Access Member

"I saved $35 a night for a hotel reservation through Great American Traveler [Hotel Access] at a Four Points by Sheraton."

Kelly R.
UEA Member

"By using my Teacher Access card, it more than paid for my dues."

Jim Vaughn
Varsity Access Member

"It is good to find out that a program that is meant to be a great deal for both the kids and for the people actually works. Thank you and your staff for your support of today's youth"

Merchant Testimonials

"We have seen a great response from the Access program! We are pleased with the return on our investment. When we participate next year we plan to use more of the features of the program and hope to reap greater profits by doing so.

One of the features we really appreciate is that our discount is not available to the public. Since the discounts are only available to specific associations and businesses, it doesn't affect our retail pricing structure. We believe that business is about relationships and Access has given us the opportunity to build affinity with local companies and associations."

"The Great American Traveler [Hotel Access] and the Merchant Access program have been a great deal for our hotel. As well as helping us increase our occupancy, a local company booked a holiday party on a weekday through the program. We would not have these opportunities without Merchant Access."

Alice Cooner
Director of Advertising
Fairfield Communities

"We've been working with Access for several years and have been very pleased with the services they've provided, from layout and design to production and printing. They've been able to combine our benefits with their benefits and develop a really nice package. They deliver it on time and where we need it."

Preston Cochrane
Director of Operations
Morgan Bay Management

"All of us at Morgan Bay Management and Consumer First want to express our thanks for all the help and service you have given us since we started using the benefits offered by Access. You have been extremely helpful in discussing our needs for our employees and clients. We have used the benefits offered through Access for our company golf tournament at Stonebridge golf Course and also for our company Christmas Party that was held at the Airport Hilton. Using these benefits not only saved us a lot of money, but also gave us the opportunity to reward our employees. Employees are constantly telling me how they saved money on hotels, food, entertainment, oil changes or whatever by using their employee Access card. Having the benefits tied to our employee Web site has saved me a lot of time having to post news or upcoming events. Thanks again for all your help. I thank you for the great service and our employees thank you for saving them money."

Dick Kemp

Steve Lamb
Executive Director
Resorts of Distinction and Resort Developers Association

"This offer is different from other offers because our logo is put right on the product and we have control of the content. I look at this as a powerful premium, also an avenue for long-term relationships. Besides, it's half the price of other offers."

Pam Abernathy
Ultima Systems

"Access Development has taken the hassle out of offering this product to our members. The staff is professional and they make us look really good."

Roger Little
President

"In the vast sea of Internet home pages, there are few company sites which stand above the rest. Access Development has created one of those sites that has taken the Internet to a new level. Through innovative use of databases to create dynamic Web sites, they now allow organizations to disseminate large amounts of information to their users. This is one of the most creative uses of the Internet that I have ever seen. And I have seen a lot!"

Bonnie Quinn
Payroll/Benefits Administrator
Bountiful City, UT

"Access gives me complete control over my Employee Web site. I like being able to sit at my computer and add information that is available to my employees 24/7. They can access vital information from home or the office via the Internet."

"I was surprised by how easy it is to maintain our Employee Web site. My staff learned to use this tool with ease and they are able to maintain all of our information without my direction. Our Access site is nearly maintenance-free. Obsolete information is automatically deleted from our site without our intervention. We don't have to worry about removing out-dated newsletters or I fixing links or any of the typical headaches associated with Web sites."

"Our employees enjoy the savings benefits offered by Access. Access took the time to survey our employees and contract with a number of merchants adjacent to our business. We feel that giving employees savings opportunities has as much impact as giving them a pay increase."

Paul D. Isaac
Human Resource Director
West Valley City, Utah
