More details to this question:
Last October, 2017 we bought a Choice Rewards Platinum membership from Axis Getaways. We thought they ran the program. In January I tried to access the program and was told we were not members because the fee was not paid. They told us Axis was a company that sold memberships for them. So I called Axis several times and always got an answering machine. I left several messages and they did not call me back. I filed a claim with BBB and they did not respond to them. I paid them $3394 for this membership and I want the money back.

Yes. YOU cannot recover legal fees that you did not expend or are not obligated for. A second factor is hiring a lawyer not only adds the benefitsof having a lawyer, but if there is an attorney's fee recovery provision, equally adds a substantial threat to the other party that they would have to spend more than just giving you your own money back, as they could be expsoded to reimbursing your legal fees.
