Brand New Club Members - Getting Started with RAC Perks:
STEP 1: An email address must be set up with your RAC club membership account. If you have joined in the last several years, this was automatically done for you when you became a member. If you have not set up an email address in the past with the RAC, or you are not sure which email address you used, please contact our Business Office at (507) 287-9307.
STEP 2: Complete a point earning activity. After your email address is set up and you take part in a point earning activity (for example checking in to the club) you will be sent an email within a day that allows you to set up your sign in information for Perkville.com. Please contact the RAC Perks Team if you do not receive an email.
STEP 3: Open the email, select the “Claim Points” button, and set up your password for Perkville.com. Your RAC email address and this password will be what you use to sign in to Perkville.com in the future.
Existing Club Members - Accessing Your Perks Account:
Even if you missed the initial start-up email, you will be accumulating RAC Perk points as long as you have an email associated with your RAC club membership account and have completed point earning activities. For directions on how to access your Perks account click here.
Redeeming Earned Points for Perks:
STEP 1: Go to Perkville.com and sign in. You will now be able to view your point balance.
STEP 2: Select “Perks” and then click “Redeem” on the perk you have earned. On the following screen scroll down and select "Redeem" again.
NOTE: It may take 1-3 days for your perk request to be processed. Although you receive an initial automated email immediately, your perk will not be available at the club until you receive a second email from the “RAC Perks Team”.
STEP 3: Follow the instructions in the email from the "RAC Perks Team" to pick up your perk. Note that perks expire after 180 days (the only exception is the Kids Club Package which does not expire), and do not include gratuity on services (for example massage).
RAC Perk Points automatically expire on the last day of membership. You must redeem your points before your membership ends or the points will be surrendered. If you have any questions about RAC Perks, please check the FAQ list below or please feel free to contact our RAC Perks Team for assistance.
Perks FAQs
Yes, redeemed perks may be given to and used by others. Please email the RAC Perks Team if you would like to transfer a specific perk to someone else.
Important note for giving perks to non-members: If a service would require a guest to have gained admittance to the club, then they will need to follow normal guest rules. For example, if you wanted to transfer your perk for one hour of tennis court time to a person who is not a member, the court will be free but they must still gain admittance to the club via a guest pass.
RAC Perks points are not transferable. This includes not being transferable to other members on your membership.
If you are adding someone onto your membership, they will be set up with the same email as the main member unless otherwise requested by you.
If you are taking someone off the membership, they have the option to redeem their points before their membership ends. RAC Perk Points automatically expire on the last day of membership. The points cannot be transferred to someone else on the membership. The points expire once the downgrade option is completed.
RAC Perk Points automatically expire on the last day of membership. You must redeem your points before your membership ends or the points will be surrendered.
Things to consider if you are not seeing your points as expected:
- You must be signed in to Perkville.com to view your point balance and recent earning activities. If you are not signed in, the point balance and recent activities will not be shown.
- To start earning points you must have an email address set up with your RAC club membership account. Points do not start accumulating until then.
- To earn points for purchases, you must provide your member information at the time of purchase. You can do this by scanning in your electronic ID or by providing your first and last name at the time of purchase.
- When you charge to your club account the RAC Perk points will not be awarded until your bill is paid off at a later date. This can sometimes be confusing as these points do not immediately show up on your perks account, but instead will show up later when your payment is processed. Be aware that when your payment is processed perk points may be awarded for dollars spent at the club when you are not at the club that day.
- Points may take up to 24 hours to post to your Perkville account. There is sometimes a delay in when the Perkville system checks in with our club system daily to update points. If points do not appear soon after a club check in, please give the system 24 hours to award the points before reporting it to the RAC Perks team.
- If you have more than one person on your membership, you may set up separate Perkville accounts. This would allow points to accrue separately for that individual or group of individual members on your membership. To do this you would need to set up different email addresses in the club membership account email for the member(s) you are splitting off of the main Perkville account. Then complete the Perkville account sign in set up ("Getting Started" process above) for the new email account(s).
- Only one check in per day is recorded for each Perkville member.
