Vacation-Breeze Promised discounts, gave us disappointment Honolulu Hawaii

Was convinced to give them $5,000 to give us access to their huge discounted rental properties all over the world.  For example, could rent a room for a week on Maui for $400, when normally the same room is $600 per night.  Figured over the lifetime of using this we would save enough on vacations to warrant the expensive deposit. 

However, once we started trying to use the website it was obvious this was a scam.  The discounts are no better than any other online search engine, however, with Vacation-Breeze you typically can't even find anything avaiable unless you're willing to travel the next week.  I should have listened to my wife when she said this was not worth it. 

Now we are out $5,000 and we have never been able to use this scam to save us any money.  The discounts don't even cover the annual fee that is required to stay a member.  I should have submitted a claim immediately, but now it has been 2.5 years since we signed up.  Is there any hope of a refund.  This is embarrasing.
