"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.

"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.

"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."

"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."

"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.
"I typically buy from my son's school promotionals, 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!"

"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)."

"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."

"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, approxirnately 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."

"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."
