Hello! My name is Brian and I’m a huge fan of Inspirato Pass. I’m a 50 year old married dad of two daughters in college (Sic ’em Baylor Bears!). We are recent empty nesters and adjusting to this new stage of life. We live in Orange County, CA. I love to travel and tend to obsess over finding value in vacations we take as a family. I deeply value new experiences and creating memories with family and friends.
I write this blog for the following purposes:
- Review Inspirato Pass to help others determine whether or not it would be a good fit for them
- Share my personal experience with other subscribers and interested parties so that they can get a good idea of how Inspirato Pass can be utilized with maximum value optimization
- Periodically point out particularly interesting value opportunities available to Inspirato Pass members that may drive and increase subscription value
- Encourage Inspirato as a company to continually create and increase the value equation for Inspirato Pass holders
I first came across Inspirato from an Instagram ad on my feed in late 2019. I didn’t pay much attention to it for quite some time as I didn’t know what exactly it was. At some point however, the mention of “luxury-vacation-subscription” peaked my interest. I decided to click and explore. I became fascinated fairly quickly. There were beautiful vacation homes and hotels at all of our favorite destinations, even great Staycation options!
I got to the point where I realized, without any doubt, that the inventory offerings of Inspirato Pass were a perfect fit for us. We could vacation for a lifetime with the inventory that they currently have. BUT, would it make financial sense for us to invest in the program? So, a quick summary of how Inspirato Pass works.
- $2,550 per month, no other fees, taxes, etc. (Of course, any additional charges at your vacation home/hotel will be your responsibility)
- $2,500 Initiation Fee and then fully cancelable with 30 day notice
- At the $2,550 per month level, you are only permitted to hold one reservation at a time
- Reserve homes/hotels from the significant offerings on the Inspirato Pass website. Duration of stay varies from two nights to up to thirty
- You can share with your spouse/partner, but sharing with others is not permitted unless you upgrade your membership. You need to reach out to Inspirato for details and associated costs.
- There are options for a $5,000 or $7,500 per month subscription for those who would like to have the ability to hold two or three reservations at a time.
I began to explore the value equation for our family. If I decided to pay $2,550 per month, how much value could I achieve? Would it be a loser, i.e. would I save money by just booking myself? Would it be a net zero or break even, i.e. would I end up spending the same amount of money as if I booked myself? Or, would I be able to get significant additional value from being an Inspirato Pass member?….Keep reading this post to find out.
And please don’t hesitate to say hello!
Disclaimer: I signed up for Inspirato Pass on November 30, 2019 and am unabashedly excited about it and the opportunity it presents to Passholders! This blog reflects my opinions only. I commit to write unbiased reviews based strictly on my experiences and research. That being said, Inspirato does have a referral program for Passholders and I’d be silly not to take advantage of it! So, mention that you were referred by me for a custom gift upon arrival at your first destination with Pass (as long as you reach out to me to let me know!)
Thanks for reading!
