About three years ago we were visiting Branson Missouri and went to a meeting of the Vacation Travel Club there. We were treated to a fancy presentation where we were quoted very low rates for cruises, flights, hotels, condos, etc. Anywhere in the world if we were to become members. Also as an added incentive we were promised a free cruise and a free trip just as a sort of "signing bonus." This cost us nearly $5000 Canadian but we thought it was well worth it as that wouldn't even cover the cost of the cruise or trip if we were to book it on our own.
When we went to use our membership a few months later we were told that the company that had sold the package to us had gone out of business so the free trip and cruise were not available. Also when I went in to try and book a vacation through them I discovered to my chagrin that their trips were no cheaper than many websites I could go to for booking vacations.in fact, most of them were cheaper than through this travel club.
In short, we were royally shafted and might as well have flushed our money down the toilet.
