The vacation ownership industry is evolving faster than ever, and member expectations are rising right along with it. Today’s owners want more value, more transparency, more personalization, and more control over their travel portfolios. Ben’s Big Deal addresses these needs by successfully combining world-class travel benefits with elite-level points and rewards education—delivered proactively and consistently.
VOA Worldwide is changing that.
And today, we are proud to announce a strategic exclusive partnership with Ben Komenkul, founder of Ben’s Big Deal, one of the world’s most respected authorities in credit-card points, hotel programs, airline loyalty systems, and premium travel strategy.
This alliance marks a historic milestone for the vacation ownership industry—and a major leap forward for the future of post-sale member service.

Ben Komenkul is widely regarded as one of the most influential voices in the global points, miles, and travel optimization community.

Optimizing Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and other hotel loyalty programs

-
Structuring a complete travel portfolio to reduce costs and increase value
This collaboration brings elite-level travel intelligence directly to the vacation ownership world—a first for the industry.
Why This Partnership Matters for Developers and Industry Leaders
The traditional post-sale model has long struggled with two major challenges:
-
Insufficient member engagement after the sale
-
Limited understanding from members on how to use their full travel portfolio
VOA Worldwide, combined with Ben’s Big Deal, solves both.
1. Eliminating Post-Sale Confusion
Most owners don’t fully understand how to maximize:
-
Elite hotel programs
-
Airline reward systems
-
Credit-card points
-
Travel memberships
-
Tier benefits
-
Transfer partners
-
Award charts and dynamic pricing
This lack of knowledge leads to frustration, cancellations, disputes, and low usage.
By giving members access to one of the world’s top travel strategists, VOA eliminates confusion and replaces it with empowerment.
2. Raising the Standard of Post-Sale Service
The industry’s greatest weakness has always been post-sale consistency.
VOA Worldwide continues to lead the movement toward a proactive, intelligence-driven service model—one that anticipates member needs rather than reacting to issues.
Now, combined with Ben’s expertise, members receive:
-
Personalized education
-
Real travel strategy
-
Transparent value
-
Higher satisfaction
-
Greater usage
-
Stronger loyalty
This is post-sale service the way it was always meant to be.
3. Increasing Member Retention and Lifetime Value
When members deeply understand the value of their entire travel portfolio, everything changes.
They book more.
They engage more.
They see more value.
And most importantly—they stay.
This partnership directly supports:
-
Higher retention rates
-
Increased annual usage
-
Better engagement metrics
-
Stronger post-sale experience
-
Reduced cancellation rates
-
Better long-term customer relationships
For developers, this means higher profitability and a more stable ownership base.
