Members use their annual allotment of points to make reservations to hunt stag in New Zealand, shoot dove in Argentina, bone fish in the Bahamas or enjoy countless other big and small game activities.
The primary attraction to a points based membership is the added flexibility if affords members. Members can prioritize when and where they want to travel by spending more points for more high value properties and seasons.
These points are referred to by the club as "Sporting Privileges." Presnell Sporting Collection offers memberships in increments of 100,000 Sporting Privileges and members can designate who has the authority to use these privileges.
The Presnell Sporting Collection website thoroughly describes the membership process:
"A Membership is secured by payment of a one-time, refundable Membership Deposit. Thereafter, each Member pays annual dues that are designed to cover the costs for securing this unique inventory, but are less than an individual Member would personally pay to enjoy our experiences were they even available. Presnell Sporting Collection employs its purchasing power and contacts to negotiate the best terms for Members."
"Membership renews every year at the option of the Member by payment of the annual dues. Members can therefore continue their Membership at their pleasure."
"Each Membership is transferable, as provided for in the Rules and Regulations of Presnell Sporting Collection. Memberships can be transferred to immediate family members by payment of a nominal administrative fee at any time. The legacy of a Presnell Sporting Collection Membership is designed to be passed on to family and loved ones."
"Presnell Sporting Collection will return the Membership Deposit for a Membership that is and at all times has been in good standing. A member can request the return of the Deposit paid at any time. Consistent with our Guarantee of Excellence, a Member may seek a 90% return of the Membership Deposit during the First Year. The return is 80% for Years 2 through 5; 70% for Years 6 – 15, and the Member receives after Year 16 the market price for the last four Membership Deposits received, less a 15% transfer free. All of the details of this industry leading Deposit Return are in the Rules and Regulations and Membership Agreement."
"Each Member receives a minimum of 100,000 Sporting Privileges annually, which are available to make reservations. A minimum of double occupancy is required to make reservations at Presnell Sporting Collection venues."
