We mailed in the forms, only to get more forms and 14 rules and...

In February I booked a trip to the Bahamas through Gloria Holmgren. The trip was scheduled for mid May and I never received written confirmation of the trip details, only a verbal promise that I would receive the travel documents as soon as she had them. She called me a week and a half before the trip to tell me that the resort was over-booked and that I...

I totally agree with the other complaint. Asked for a refund and did not get one. Go to google maps and do a street view of their corporate headquarters. 316 California Ave, Reno, NV 89509, USA. Some how the whole company works in a mailbox at The Postal Depot!! I am digging on this one some more.

My parents were the unlucky recipients of one of these post cards and without checking the BBB or any other resource, they spent $5, 000 on a membership with Royal Palm Vacations. So many promises and not a single one delivered. My parents have sent in requests for information as instructed and received nothing, you get only voice mail when you call and the...

This company uses high pressure and incentives to lure people into joining "on the spot". Once you join you find out that the membership is worthless because you haven't purchased anything real. The free travel incentives are also bogus. BEWARE!

I can't understand how the law allows this kind of business to exist with the body of complaints that are out there. I just spent 90 minutes listening to some guy go on about how spending 9-10K+ for vacation membership was "putting money in my pocket". (He said that at least 5 times) I knew it was all a joke, just do the math -- you'd have to take 5 BIG...

Definitely a scam. (FYI, I'm not a rookie to travel/timeshare promotions.) Received the promotion. Registered my destination and 3 dates of choice. (This used up 2 of the 12 months time allotment so far.) When attempting to make the final booking (this used up 150+ minutes of cell phone time because they keep you on hold hoping you'll give up) there...
