Do not trust these people!

Интересно, а аналог есть?…

The gentleman at that point seemed upset and said that we had to sit through a 1 hour travel club presentation. I said it was fine but I wasn’t going to purchase anything. He got got more upset, not losing it, and began the presentation.

At the end of all the BS session I said thank you but no thank you and I would like my airline tickets. Well, I was given a certificate in which I had to send $4.95 USPS money order per person within 30 to them for them to release the tickets. I did that and then I received another certificate stating:

“This certificate is for the purchase of the vacation certificate and puts all assignees on notice of the consumer’s right to cancel under section 559.933 Florida Statutes. You may cancel this contract without any penalty or obligation within 30 days from the date of purchase or receipt of the vacation certificate, whichever occurs later. You may also cancel this contract if accommodations or facilities are not available pursuant to request for use provided in the contract. If you decide to cancel you must notify Horizons Rewards in writing of you intent to cancel by returning the certificate and sending notice to Horizons Rewards at: Division 360, 478 E. Altamonte Dr. # 108, Altamonte Springs, Fl. 32701. No purchase should rely upon representation other than those included in this contract.

The required trust account under California Statute 17550.25 has been established. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute approval by the State of California”.

I believe that this is the back door to having you sign a contract to their club. I believe that this as all the other timeshare “USED CAR SALESPEOPLE” is a way of scamming and ripping off the public. I will call the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs and relate to them all that I have been promised and not given. I will also call the T.V. station and let them know what is happening. Maybe they will see s news story and expose them for what they are…SCAMMERS. I thank the gentleman that started this blog.

The “one hour” presentation was actually about 2x that long. The pitch made the package tempting, but I resisted buying into something before I could research - or gain some perspective! (it’s compelling in the moment).

The free gifts included a $1000 shopping spree PLUS 2 of the following 4 choices: a High Def TV, $1000 cash, another $1000 shopping spree or a free vacation package, depending on what showed up under the rub-off spot.

You can guess which prizes I won. I left with 2 shopping sprees and one vacation gift.

As described above, the shopping spree is your chance to access a website where you can pay considerably more than retail for any of some dozens of items.

The vacation gift provides a form you must send in which must be received within 30 days with a Money Order payment of 4.95 per person, to then receive a “travel certificate that will include instructions on how to redeem it.” I am warned that I have the right to cancel my contract without penalty within 30 days of contracting with a provider.

Looking through the brochure for more details on each of the travel options I see that there are significant restrictions and requirements including fees and “refundable” deposits (which you can request, in writing, to have refunded only after successful completion of your trip or if you cancel via written letter more than 30 days in advance, or by forfeiting your travel offer). Block-out dates are for the week before and week after any of up to 12 holidays per year. Sounds like about half the year is blocked out.. Once you receive your certificate, you must send your contract, fees etc with selected dates within 30 days of “issuance,” so you may be selecting dates up many months in the future.

I’m going to let thess gifts slide.

I refuse to buy something without researching it in detail.

I was wondering how good the “world class condo vacation” is. You didn’t mention that prize. 7 nights throughout the US for the cost of taxes.
Is it any good?

They said several times there were no blackout dates but there is a week blackout around every holiday.

Why do you go to these presentations then? You are no better than a prostitute. A scammer getting scammed, you deserve what you got.
