change of internet benefit for diamond and diamond plus


Recommended Posts

If memory serves me correct, PC Members were awarded complimentary internet in the Spring of 2015 and it was at this same time that the internet changed to 1 consecutive 24 hour period for Diamond Members (or a % off a package) and 2 24 hour consecutive periods for Diamond Plus (or a % off a package).

There's not a % off the package just a fixed amount equal to the cost of 24 hr Surf (x2 for D+). I think they may want to introduce a % off (which would be better for longer cruises) in addition to the above and have botched the testing.

My UK cell phone provider lets me use my call and data allowance in Europe and US and several other countries.

 

My US cell provider lets me use my call and data allowence in Canada and Mexico. For outside those countries the $10 a day travel passes let me use my call and data allowence which for me is an unlimited plan for 24 hour periods which only start the 24 hour pass period if I actually use voice, text or data.

Before there was a fixed amount, they did offer a certain percentage to Diamonds, Diamond Plus and PC members. Remember, we are talking 3-4 years ago.

Royal wanted to make sure you had to spend money to get the free time.

 

 

 

I always thought that Royal is in business to make money. They are a publicly traded company who are responsible to their shareholders.

 

What about those Diamonds and D+ that would like their free time but buy the package. You don’t think they feel cheated?

 

Hey, I would like a bigger discount on the Drink Package to make up for the unlimited drinks many have in the DL.

My calls and texts are unlimited and 9GB of data per month is more than enough.

I was talking about since VOOM was introduced and the per minute packages where eliminated.

D and D+ can get discounts on packages. Why would they feel cheated?

I have said many times that with so many customers looking out for the welfare of the company its CEO must sleep very well at night.

Thats good because their loyalty is the best in the market.

Things can change quickly if they start to cut back to much so hopefully they will take that on board.

I’m guessing you really must be jealous that I have a beautiful sweet lady 20 years my junior with her own money. Nice to combine two incomes. She makes me feel so young.

I would have thought judging by your user name it would have been a bike keeping you young. I know getting out on mine (not a Harley) helped.

In Scotland we have a different interpretation of a bike.

 

Good to see Poulter win

Great finish, never rule him out. Not really heard of the young lad until this tournament, shame for him but he'll have other chances I'm sure Just watching the LPGA now.

When I was in the forces our interpretation was the same as in Scotland.

Based on our trips to Europe, the sport Bike and smaller seem to be choice and better suited for the driving conditions. We seldom ride our on Interstate Highways. Mostly back roads. The new M8 engine is much smoother than the twin cam motor. The traditionalists don’t like it, but HD is due for water cooled motors. The EPA beat HD really bad prior to M8. The M8 runs a bit hotter than the older motors. Now if one screws with the ECM or pipes, the mother company voids factory warranty. VROD’s are HD most popular Bike in Europe. Saw those and sportsters. Looks of other bikes we don’t see here in the States.

 

Buell hasn’t been a player here in some time.

Boy, this is a disheartening statement to read. I guess only time will tell......and I worry it isn't going to be in our favor. :(
