Understanding Escapees and Harvest Hosts Memberships
Escapees RV Club and Harvest Hosts memberships offer distinct benefits, though they sometimes overlap under optional combined plans. Below is a comprehensive guide to understanding their unique properties, including pricing, requirements, and applicable services.
Are Escapees and Harvest Hosts Memberships Separate?
Yes, Escapees RV Club and Harvest Hosts memberships function independently. Paying for Escapees membership alone does not automatically grant access to Harvest Hosts benefits, or vice versa. These memberships require separate subscriptions unless combined under specific plans like the "All Access" package. All Access members will have two membership numbers - an HH member number and a SKP (Escapees) member number. Additionally, you may access digital features like membership cards through either the dedicated website or app.
Special Cases for Lifetime Escapees Members
Lifetime members of Escapees often enjoy privileges not available to standard members. For instance, upgrades to include Harvest Hosts memberships can be made without repurchasing Escapees membership. Additionally, the "All Access" plan provides a pathway to integrate both memberships, leveraging prorated and discount options available during specific terms. To explore this, log into your membership dashboard and access the "Change Plan" option.
Requirements for Mail Services and ACI Courtesy Parking
For Escapees Mail Services:
You must maintain an active Escapees membership—this is mandatory regardless of whether you hold a Harvest Hosts subscription.
Harvest Hosts Classic or Boondockers Welcome subscriptions are not required for this service.
If mail usage is your primary concern, there exists an Escapees-only membership plan tailored to your needs.
For ACI Courtesy Parking:
An active paid Harvest Hosts membership is not necessary. Using credentials tied to your ACI account suffices for access to host locations designated under this scheme. Payment-related alerts for Harvest Hosts memberships can be disregarded if your priority is exclusively ACI Courtesy Parking.
Membership Pricing and Discount Opportunities
Discounts for Adding Memberships Escapees members may be eligible for discounts when adding Harvest Hosts benefits. These discounts typically apply only during the initial sign-up. Existing account upgrades take prorated billing into account for the number of days remaining until renewal. To gain access to available options, ensure your account’s autorenewal status is enabled.
Lifetime Memberships Validity Lifetime Escapees memberships retain all their value and validity, even after integration options with Harvest Hosts became available. Members do not lose privileges acquired prior to the merger.
Key Takeaways
Escapees and Harvest Hosts memberships remain distinctly separate unless actively combined under plans like "All Access."
Lifetime Escapees memberships come with unique perks, including the ability to upgrade or integrate without redundant fees.
Services such as Mail Handling or ACI Courtesy Parking are not contingent on holding a Harvest Hosts subscription.
Discounts and prorated upgrades are provided for supplemental memberships but are often limited to specific renewal contexts.
