El Cid Vacations Club recognizing increased sales to Canadian timeshare purchasers thanks to Crelogix

Crelogix Acceptance Corporation, a leading Canadian consumer finance provider, announced that their recent relationship with El Cid Vacations Club, headquartered in Mazatlan, Mexico, has successfully met projected number of sales of vacation ownership club memberships.

“Since we entered into the relationship with Crelogix, we’ve definitely seen an uptick in sales to Canadians,” says Curtis Knipe, Sales & Marketing Director, for El Cid Vacations Club. “Previously, we were under the impression that Canadians were simply averse to assuming loan obligations for this type of purchase. But we see now that if they can interact with a lender in their own currency – from making their down payments to monthly installments – they are much more comfortable.”

We are particularly gratified to hear what good results Curtis and his team at El Cid are getting. They are a wonderful group to work with and we are looking forward to growing a long and mutually successful relationship.”

“We are very pleased to provide financing for ever more resort developers in Mexico,” says Crelogix Director of Sales, Vacation Ownership, Guillermo Martinez. “El Cid has an excellent reputation, having been a well-regarded vacation club membership provider in the industry since 1972. They’ve had members whose children have literally grown up vacationing in Mexico and who, themselves, have become members!”
