How do you become a "Premium Member" ?

[crisxcross]

Maybe silly question but....

How do you become a "Premium Member" on the Puerto Vallarta Bulletin Board ?

Are there any added benefits to that status?

It kicks in after 100 posts. The "status" is the benefit

When you become a Premium member, you will be considered knowledgable or just a know it all.

Thats the beauty of this board the more you read the more you learn about our favorite place. I guess the true benefit of premium status is that we spend more time reading, reflecting and learning about PV than most.

There should be another level for "know-it-alls" that are unbiased. Seems when asked about a hotel, for instance, the people who stayed there - and only there - will rave, when in reality the flaws are never mentioned. But that's normal I guess. Our family has moved around from hotels to villas to AIs, over many years (by choice to try different areas and accommodations) and we chuckle when some posts rave about a property when the one next door is far superior at a similar rates. That said, some properties can change drastically within weeks when new management moves in or they shift to TS, etc.

To each their own.

Whitey, you are right. However, they may have found a place that suits them and is all they want it to be. I do also agree that there is change and in truth can not be perfect every time. There is certainly no crime in pointing out a fault or problem, as long as one does not carry to extremes. I sometimes get the feeling that those that rave on and on about any particular place, have little else in their lives to talk about. I enjoy and am appreciative of all the new information I get here. Even with having gone to PV every year for the last 20, I can and do learn something new almost daily.

I really don't have a life other than work, visiting this BB and going to PV 2-3 x year.

Not the worse thing I ever heard about.
