THANK YOU for this review. I was called by a representative a couple of weeks ago who continually insisted that she wasn't "trying to sell" me anything, which, in fact, is precisely what she was trying to do. We discussed what I could get IF I decided to purchase this membership, I never once agreed. Not at any one time in that conversation did I say, "okay, sure, I'll buy this." She told me information, I asked her questions, it was a discussion. A discussion about a HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION in which I MIGHT decide, potentially, to pay for this membership. Then she said, "oh just to let you know, you're going to hear a beep and this call will be recorded." I've worked in call centers before, so I know that drill, and said okay, that was fine. Then she asked me to state my name, which I did. She confirmed my mailing address. Then she said, "and you're agreeing to the 2-year membership at $349, could you state that that is correct?" I ground the conversation to a halt and said no, I was not able to agree to it yet and needed to discuss it with my other half first. I said that I had never agreed to this. Her entire attitude/demeanor changed and she monotonously told me that she didn't think I realized what I could get out of this. I still resisted agreeing to purchase the membership, and she put her supervisor on the phone who said the exact same script that she did, almost word for word.
I did NOT end up paying for it. I said I would talk it over with my other half and then get back to them if we decided to go for it. I read up on it online and determined that basically, you get nothing out of this and everything they tell you is either strategically phrased to mislead you, or flat-out false. So I'm not going to be buying it. But it made me so angry that the woman tried to railroad me into agreeing on record to buy something that I had NOT ONE TIME even come remotely close to agreeing to during that entire call.

They say they're not trying to sell you anything and then they try to trick you into stating that you agree to buy the membership, even though you never once agreed to it. They try to railroad you. (This is all via phone call, I have never attended a presentation, and, after reading all the comments all over the internet, am glad for that.) I was called by a representative a couple of weeks ago who kept saying "I'm not trying to sell you anything, " (which was definitely part of the script) yet she tried to sell me something the whole time and then tried to smoothly trick me into agreeing to pay $249 on the spot. When I said I needed to talk it over with my other half, she put her supervisor on the line, and he told me the exact same things, nearly word for word, as she had. Neither one was willing to let me off the call without agreeing to pay right then and there. I finally managed to get off the phone (WITHOUT giving them my money), but immediately after the call I had SEVEN EMAILS (all identical) from the representative and have received 3-4 (also all identical) more every single day since. I did give them my email address and was fine with giving that out, but expected I would receive one email. All of the emails are exactly the same, furthermore, they never once mention in the emails the airline tickets they said they would be sending me, and they quote me a $100 higher price than they had quoted on the phone.

And by the way, apparently you are far from alone. TONS of people have been charged to their credit cards with this company despite having never once authorized it. I didn't give them my credit card info, but after all that I've read about them lately, I sincerely would not be shocked if they found a way to obtain it and charge it anyway. Seriously. If anyone would be low enough to do that, it's clearly them, factually speaking.
GrandGetaways, literally all you do on here is post the same impersonal comment on every single complaint. You don't actually address any of them or answer any of the questions people are asking. You tell people to call you, but you know for a fact that you will make them jump through hoops and will not really answer them anyway.
As a fact, not a matter of opinion but a concrete fact, Grand Getaways/Coast to Coast/Every other name they go by, IS, indeed, a Scam. That cannot be legimiately debated.
