Global Vacations Pressure sales pitch. Bogus "free" gift offer. After stating no we were not interested in the membership to the club; at least 4 more people descended upon us, asking the same questions, asking why we were not interesting in purchasing a membership. complete rip-off Vienna Virginia

We received a notice that we were being awarded 2 free round trip airline tickets and a 3 day/2 night stay at Hyatt. When we called the # provided, we were told we would have to listen to a 90 minute presentation and then we would receive our free gifts - no pressure whatsoever.
We arrived at the presentation on time, it started about 15 minutes late. The first person who talked with us made small talk - asked personal questions, etc. The presentation itself was fine. After the presentation, the doors to the room opened and about 7 people entered the room (there were only 4 individuals (including my husband and me) listening to the presentation. The first lady tried to sell us the membership - we said we were not interested, but we had questions. She then turned us over to another man who answered the questions (not thoroughly) and then asked us all the same questions as to why we weren't interested in buying a membership that day. Yet another man then came over to the table and asked us why we were interesting in buying and asked the very same questions as the previous 2 people. We firmly stated we weren't interested. He then said "why did you come here today" to which I replied "I wantd my 2 free tickets and Hyatt Hotel coupon".
He turned us over to another lady who again asked us the same questions, wanted to fill out a survey - to which at this point we said we want our free gift and leave. She then provided us a bogus coupon from "Celebrity Production LLC" (?) which requires an "activation fee" of $70.00 to activate the airline tickets and then another $50.00 to $65.00 would be charged BEFORE you ever saw a ticket. She then said to us ... "I'll show you the quickest way out" .
What a rip off ... don't waste your time ...
If you signed up that day the membership fee was reduced approx $5,000.00!!!! no indepth details on the vacation spots; resorts owned by this Global Vacations was provided.
it was a sleezy operation - in fact no phone number was provided for the Vienna, VA location... weird!
