Club LaBourse Oceania Pty Ltd
Seller's description grossly overstates benefits of membership

Club LaBourse operates in Australia as Club LaBourse Oceania Pty Ltd. Sellers promise savings up to 40% on travel and accommodation. Membership costs up to $6 000, often alleged to be at a discount of several thousand dollars, which proves to have been untrue. Members discover that actual discounts approximate 4 to 8 %, sometimes existing not at all where better deals freely and readily can be found elsewhere, e.G.in newspapers and online.

Promised availability of accommodation often found to be untrue. Muddles over bookings have caused significant inconvenience to would-be travellers. Many posts on internet about director Brian Leslie Wates and associated companies, including Club LaBourse Travel.

Sellers in some States and Northern Territory failed to inform purchasers of their Statutory right to a cooling off period during which, legally, the purchaser could cancel contract: purchasers aware of this right and seeking to cancel under its provisions have been denied cancellation. High membership costs, as agreed by Consumer Claims Tribunals, unwarranted.
