According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to participate in the Margaritaville Perks loyalty program. This program allows members to redeem awards for stays at Camp Margaritaville Resorts or enjoy other Margaritaville-branded products and services. To set up a resort on the Loyalty Program, franchisees must pay a one-time flat fee of $3,000. This fee is non-refundable.
This fee covers the initial setup of the franchisee's resort within the Camp Margaritaville's existing Loyalty Program. Franchisees must also agree to the Loyalty Program Terms of Use, which are incorporated by reference into the Technology Agreement attached as Exhibit E to the Franchise Agreement.
Initial fees are a common component of franchise agreements, covering the franchisor's costs to onboard a new franchisee and integrate them into existing systems. The $3,000 Loyalty Program set-up fee is in addition to other initial fees that Camp Margaritaville franchisees must pay, such as the Website Set-up Fee, Central Reservations System Set-up Fee, and Customer Relationship Management System Set-up Fee. These initial fees contribute to the total initial investment required to open a Camp Margaritaville franchise.
