I wish my wife and I had known of your web site before we signed up.  They offered two free airline tickets anywhere in the continental U.S. for coming to their presentation.  Only after signing up and paying nearly $3,000 for 3 weeks membership did we find out (weeks later) of all the restrictions, undisclosed costs, and time constraints that make the "free" tickets almost unuseable.  

Among other restrictions, they require us to stay in their choice of hotel for as long as we're on the trip - we can't go out on our own even for a single night unless we keep the room booked and pay whatever rate we can negotiate for the extra days. As soon as our hotel booking is up, we have to use the return airline ticket that day. Our plan was to use the "free" airline tickets to visit grandchildren, not to hole up in a hotel somewhere an hour or more away from their home.

The so-called "incentive" is supposedly offered through a separate company, meaning Gold Crown won't even respond to my phoned complaints/queries.  Actually, both Gold Crown and the incentive  company, "Smart Travel & Incentives," are located within about 10 miles of each other in small towns in Florida.  Hmmm...

We're seriously considering suing them both for misrepresentation so we can get our money back.
