RS+ by Recreation Stays

By booking direct. Your direct bookings and direct spend are tracked within each calendar year, and you can reach a tier by either route. If you reach a higher tier during the year, you move up right away. Your dashboard shows your progress toward the next level.

Savings on every direct booking. Insider members receive 5% off the nightly rate, and Elite and Premier members receive 10%. The discount comes on top of the best rate and no booking fee you already get when you book direct.

No — only direct bookings made through recreationstays.com count toward your RS+ tier status. Stays booked through Airbnb, VRBO, or other third-party platforms are not eligible for credit or perks under the RS+ program.

You can sign up here: recreationstaysplus.com. It’s free to join.

Just log in to your RS+ dashboard at recreationstaysplus.com using the email you used to join. You’ll see your current tier, available perks, and progress toward the next level.

We track both. Each tier can be reached by either a set number of completed direct bookings or a minimum amount of direct spend within a calendar year, whichever you reach first. Your dashboard shows your progress on both paths.

At this time, RS+ is tied to the primary guest’s email address used at booking. If you’re traveling as a group but someone else books, the stay won’t count toward your status.

Your status is updated within 72 hours after checkout of an eligible direct booking. You’ll receive an email if you reach a new tier.

Your status works like airline status. A tier you earn in one calendar year holds for the whole of the next year. During that year, your direct stays count toward keeping it for the year after. If you reach a higher tier along the way, you move up right away.
