SeaLand Vacation Club Pay now for expensive vacations you may never take Austin Texas

This is the standard vacation club scam, though it is not a time share. Instead they want you to give them about $9,000 up front and agree to pay them $200 a year forever. In return they tell you that you will get 5 star and better vacations all over the world at unbelevably low prices.

You must show a valid credit card before admittance to a glowing presentation of the travel club and their claims of amazing vacations such as Alaskan Cruises for half or less of what you would pay on Expedia or other web sites, Las Vegas at Circus Circus on the stirp for a few hundred dollars for 2, etc.

You must bring your spouse if you are married. Your are promised a free vacation with air fare and car, etc. for attending.

I did NOT buy this. My wife and I walked out after the presentation, but we had to sit through the hard sell with several "closers" after it before we could collect out "gift". So I cannot say that I personally was ripped off, but I the story they tell in the heat of the moment is appealing & I almost fell for it. Thus I believed I have escaped most of this rip-off. The part I did not escape was wasting 2 hours or more to get the "gift" which is virutally impossible for me to use.

Through the succession of closers, the price is gradually reduced, with minor changes to the package you are being sold. Therefore you have no real clear idea what the bottom line price is for you until you actually get up to leave and they stop giving you additional offers. They then claim there is no way you can get the offers they told you about, only their standard package which no one would be stupid enough to buy.

This is a standard sales approach for rip-offs. I fell for this once when I bought an overpriced time share 20 some years ago.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS type of sales pitch EVER.

If something is worth what they say it is worth, you will always be able to buy it anytime you want it, not just that very moment. If not from them, from a competitor.

But more important, how do you KNOW it is worth north of 10 grand and a 200 dollar a year commitment for the rest of your life? You need time to research it. I don't care if you are a billionaire, it is crazy to make a $10,000 plus decision on the spur of the moment. You have to know the reason they want you to make the decision on the spot is that if you DO THE RESEARCH you will find they are not worth what they are charging you.

There are plenty of sites on the web that you can take your time to research, call on the phone before you buy, sign up to get all kinds of travel deals (especially in today's economy) for spur of the moment travel, unsold cruises, once in a life time trips to exotic places. These offer you the opportunity to validate the deals offered, call someone on the phone and negotiate, read reports from other people who have used the company BEFORE YOU PART WITH A SINGLE PENNY.

Please do as I did and say Thanks, but no thanks to this or similar offers. You will be happy you did (as I was after I looked these folks up on Rip Off Report).
