We were invited to tour direct buy for an overview of their membership program to purchase items at the cost distributors pay.
We were enticed to the walkthrough with a 2 night 3 day vacation, $100 dinner card, and water park passes. Ultimately we didn't get what was promised. The dinner card is limited at best. The 2 night vacation really turned into a 1 night vacation and must be booked for 3 different dates in the event they must cancel... Etc, etc
We listened to the endless promises of rock bottom prices on high end merchandise but when I questioned the one major appliance I was in need of I was told they don't carry that brand... Figures. The saleman was rude and condescending when he realized we saw through the scam he was trying to sell. Run the number folks, make them show you the savings and they crumble...
Awful experience - would never ever consider a membership. Not to mention, who what kind of company uses the "buy now or you won't have another opportunity" marketing strategy??? UM - okay so if I called tomorrow you'd turn down my 5K... I don't think so. However, pressure sales are the first sign you should run and run fast!!!
