Vacation Network Inc. Vacations

I needed and wanted to cancel my membership and was told that until my annual membership dues were paid I could not cancel. I have been through extensive and expensive medical procedures in the past two years that (including brain surgery), that have affected my finances. There was not any compassion in allowing me to cancel my membership and deal with my health issues? I was not given any other options in this situation. If I was able to pay the annual dues, and cancel, I would but I am struggling. I spoke to Mark Williamson and he did provide me the corporate office information, but was told there was nothing else they could do. JUST DONT DO IT.

Vacation Network Inc
I’ve read so many negative complaints about this company but none have said if they had any solution on how to get out of the contract. What happens if I stop paying the yearly maintenance fee of $312. I’ve never booked any vacation and now I’m afraid to Sounds like they only take your money and not book. I don’t want to be left hanging going somewhere and no reservations. Did anyone find a solution to get out of this scam contract?

Vacation Network Inc. Did not deliver what they said they would, held my money too long, withdrew funds not authorized

1. My husband and I purchased with them two years ago. I tried to book a vacation with them for the past summer. I was told that they could do nothing unless I give them $699.00 to look for a vacation. I agreed and they took the money immediately. I did not hear anything after that. I contacted them again and they told me to wait two weeks. I waited. Nothing. I contacted them again, and they told me to wait 45 days. On day 45, I contacted them again and they had not found a vacation for me. I asked them to refund my money. I took another month or two to process the refund. I was told by someone at the company that there is no time period to process a refund. I filed a complaint and I was told that the money was being refunded and I was lucky to have it so soon. I receive the money in 2 weeks after I filed the complaint.
2. Since I will never do business with this company again, I e-mailed their finance director in June and told him "You are no longer authorized to bill our credit card for monthly statements or for the annual finance charge. Please remove my credit card from your system. " After that I spoke with the finance director and he told me that if I did not pay it would go against my credit. I told him that I would take my chances. After that, I have received 2 further monthy finance charges to my debit card as well as the annual fee debit. I called him and he told me that he was unable to remove my credit card because I had signed a promossory note and therefore was required to pay. Apparently, I do not have a say so on how I am paying? I am working with my bank to contest these charges.

Vacation Network Inc. Scam

I paid cash in the amount of $4044.00 to VNI on 2/6/09. A few days later I looked the up on internet and read bad reviews. I immediately contacted them to cancel because of what I had read. The general manager in Ga told me that people write complaints on Wal Mart, Bank of America, etc. all the time. he told me I had signed a contract and hung up on me.

I sent certified mail to VNI requesting my money back..no response. I contacted my Attorney General (Alabama) and they told me they had talked to the company (they even sent me a copy of the letter VNI had sent them that was singing praises about themselves). My Att Gen would NOT help!

Vacation Network Inc. No vacation confirmed

We tried to use this for the first time this year. we filled out the request form and paid the week in question. after a month they informed us that nothing was available. we asked why then do they charge the money and demand a request if they don't even know if they can deliver. the only response that they could come up with is that they are still working on it. i also called the salesman that we purchased this package from and his reply was that he would call us back in an hour. that was two days ago! unfortunately we purchased this package before seeing all the negative on the internet. tell everyone that these packages are not worth it, no matter how good they sound!

Vacation Network Inc. Stay away

We gave them a year to find a vacation property for us. They didn't respond to our emails or phone calls for weeks or months at a time. We have finally thrown in the towel and 'written off' the '*** tax' that we paid to them.

Here's a summary of their business model - you decide whether you want to be their customer:

1) Take customer's money upfront (thousands of dollars) with promise of vacation properties all over the world

2) Charge customers annual dues (hundreds of dollars) to be a member of the network

3) Charge customers upfront for vacation properties (hundreds of dollars) then offer them crappy options for vacation properties for dates that don't match the request.

4) Ignore customers' requests for properties for weeks/months at a time

5) Piss customers off so much that they throw up their hands and walk away

My advice, stay away!

Vacation Network Inc. Fraud, Scam

I purchased a vacation contract from Vacation Network, Inc. and got burned on my very first attempted use! I gave this company 9 months lead time for a vacation on South Padre Island, TX (I was told that if I gave them 6 months lead time that I would have no problem getting my request). Well, let's see. They offered my a couple of condos on a lake near my house in Houston (5 or so hours north of So. Padre Island and certainly not an island nor anywhere near the Gulf of Mexico), next was a condo in Corpus Christi (2 hours north of So. Padre Island and while on the Gulf, these condos were right near the Valero gasoline refinery (nice vacation that would have been) and finally a house on South Padre Island - yes on SPI, but no where near the beach or even a public access to the beach. When I asked for my money back, they told me to get lost since they had fulfilled their obligation by offering me so many choices (can you believe this ?!) and that I had rejected them all.

Stay away from these frauds. Caveat Emptor.

Vacation Network Inc. Deadbeats

VNI is a seedy little company that does not pay its bills. It has recently defaulted on its leases at 2 locations in Arizona, one at 9449 north 90th street and one at Westgate in Glendale. The company closed its doors owing the landlords thousands and thousand of dollars in back rent and furniture lease payments. It also owes its salespeople thousand in back commissions.

The owner, Linh Dinh of Atlanta GA, has a long standing reputation for not paying his bills and screwing salespeople and its customers. There are thousands of complaints.'

Vacation Network Inc. Bogus Promotion

This is a long explanation of the Presentation we experienced, but if you're considering wasting your time at one of their presentations, reading this will be well worth it.

We received a post card in the mail letting us know that we won a 7 night, 8 day trip to Hawaii, Carribean, Las Vegas or Florida (among a few others) - and if we call immediately, we'll receive a $100 Dining Gift Card. It was with VNI, Inc on Hwy 6 @ Memorial Dr in Houston. I made the appointment, did some research and saw that they had an F rating with the BBB ( at several locations that have been open long enough to have a rating) as well as an AG investigation. I also saw several issues and complaints through pissedconsumer and [redacted].

We went on 2/20/2010 with an open mind but loaded with the information. We'd like their side of the story as to why they have an F rating. After listening to the one-hour presentation which was condensed into 35-40 minutes, I asked (at the end of the session) "why do you have an F rating with the BBB?", the presenter immediately said "that must not be us", I then pulled out the Contact Us page that I printed from their website that had their address on it and said "The Sandy Spring Georgia address is what's listed on the webisite and with the BBB statement here". Instead of explaining what issues they had, he got very defensive and explained that everybody such as Sprint or AT&T has a negative report with BBB and/or [redacted]. I explained that they also have millions of customers - you have a state investigation pending with the Attorney General and an F rating. He then asked me why I came then; I explained that I wanted to see for myself what the deal was and of course for the free trip/Dining Card. He then called me a "Freeloader", the sales people immediately started pulling the clients into private rooms. He left momentarily then came back with our certificate and "Dining Card" and exclaimed "Get your *** out of here" - I replied that I feel everyone here should know what you guys are up to then he said "go on and get your Fat ### out of here, Freeloader". We simply walked out arguing with the guy all the way out the door. After further review, we know why he got so defensive.

The $100 Dining Gift Card - it's a Restaurant.com Discount Card to limited restaurants. Basically, if you spend $200 total, you get $100 off excluding alcohol.

The Vacation: Not Free - You have to send in a regstration card with $19.95, wait for the response then send in $398 for the travel certificates to cover fees. All fees must be paid by Money Order or Cashiers Check. When you send in the $398 there is no guarantee of where you will go or if your dates will be available (you have to submit 3 sets of dates not within 7 days of a national holiday). When your dates are accepted then you are sent your tickets and confirmation - btw, you have to pay $25 per night to cover Taxes, Gratuities and Surcharges. Total is almost $600 (not bad for 2 with airfare & 7 nights) but I don't know if I'm willing to send a money order or cashiers check to find out I'm scammed.

Now, here's the deal with Vacation Network, they say you will have access to Time Shares and Resorts around the world without buying one. Anyone can always buy membership for $9, 995 one time membership fee and $295 Registration Fee. After That it's $299 per year plus $499 per week for one bedroom accommodations and $699 per week for 2 bedroom accommodations. For the $9, 995, you are allowed 3 weeks per year and unlimited "excess inventory" weeks ($399 per week). If you signed up at the presentation, you get 5 weeks for your $9, 995 and 3 weeks for $7, 995 (plus the weekly rates and annual fees). You don't have to pay for your weeks if you don't use them. It would take a lot of of weeks to get your $9, 995 investment back even at $499 per week.

Good luck everyone, I'd love to hear if anyone actually went on the "free" trip.

WOW! Thank you for all the information you provided on this site... My parents went to the presentation in NJ and got 2 of the $100 dining cards for going there and they purchased with the Vacation Network company as well...

My parents just recently bought a package deal from Vacation Network this past week and when my father tried to call to get a package deal to go West they told him that they had nothing available for the next 2 months and also my parents were told the package deal would cost them less than what they would get outside which included airfare and hotel stay...when my parents asked the price for a week in the summer they were told it would be $1, 000.00 per person and you could get a better 'all inclusive deal' for less than that amount...why would my parents pay 3, 000 for a package deal with this so called Vacation Network company and then because there are 5+ people in this household...they are willing to pay about 5, 000.00 for a vacation...uhhhhh sorrry! we have been going on vacation for the last 29+ years now and have never spent this much money on our vacation (even when we went to Florida we paid for air, resort, car rental and a 1 week cruise) and it STILL came out to less than 1000.00 a person! We have RCI but because this company said they have deals on airfare my parents took up the offer...

what i am trying to figure out is if this company is a fraud or what...also customer service they said they had 120 pple working there when my parents went to the presentation but when u call them the lady said its only 4 people here so you would call leave a message and someone gets back to you...which is exactly what has happened so far...

any suggestions for us? we want to know whether we should cancel our membership since we still have time or is this a valid company?

thanks for any and all the help!

Vacation Network Inc. Very misleading

This company promised to get me and my husband a vacation of our desire with their company services. They were never able to fit our needs for our vacation or for our refund that we asked for after we were so dissatisfied with their service. Since then they have never responded back responsibly about our refund and have been very misleading. My husband and I looked into other cases like ours and found out that there are other cases like ours also. For that reason I would like to share and expose this story to the public not only for my husband and I, but for others that have become victims like us.

Vacation Network Inc. Horrible Customer Service

Vacation Network, Inc. is not customer-service oriented. Understanding that they are well within their legal rights not to provide any refunds after the 3-day rescission window, I find it unreasonable of the company not to buy back contracts that have never been used. Their business model seems to predicate profit on collecting exorbitant up-front membership fees while knowing full well that very few of their customers will reap full benefits from the membership. The selling tactics are hard-sell and slick, which helps them but takes advantage of their customers.

Vacation Network Inc. No vacation inventory

Vacation network has no inventory. We have been dealing with them now for several years and they have no inventory. All you get is the run around from their office. John, the head of the sales group promised 5 star vacations anywhere in the world with lots of inventory. The customer vacation book given at the time of the sales also advertises 5 star condo's as long as you sign up with the proper forms and follow the rules. We have dealt with all of the people in the office, Raven, Krystal, Kim, John, Jaquelyn, and still no vacation. It is a hole to throw you money in. I am considering a class action lawsuit. Anyone interested? Post a compliant and I will get an email address posted on this website to respond to.

I booked a trip to Mexico through vacation network received a confirmation that stated my trip was confirmed once I got to Mexico I was informed my unit was not paid for when I contacted Raven at VNI she confirmed that the unit was indeed paid for what she didn't tell me was the Moon Palace Golf Spa was a mandatory all inclusive resort and I owed the hotel an additional nine thousand dollars and that it was nothing she could do for me. Another Rep Shebia stated that she told me this information upfront which is an absolute LIE I would have never agreed to pay nine thousand dollars for a vacation that cost me $200.00 under VNI network when I informed them that their website does not state this is an mandatory all inclusive resort Raven proceeded to tell me it didn't have to state that on the website it stated it on my confirmation when I asked her where on the confirmation she got upset and basically told me I was S.O.L. I had to come up with nine thousand dollars to Leave Mexico and have to retain a lawyer to sue VNI! Do yourself a favor DO NOT USE NVI they trurly are RIPOFFS!

Vacation Network Inc. Awful company

First of all I would like to say, we have toddler. If anyone has traveled with a very active toddler they know how hard it is to do. On top of that my husband lost 75% of his hours at work due to the economy. This I explained to the sales person that so diligently called my home during dinner on Feb. 8, 2009. As a good sales person they continued to try to sell even though it was obvious that there was no way we could buy food and pay for vacations.

I tried to be as nice as possible, but got nowhere. So, I hung up on miss Erica from Vacation Network. She then immediately called me back. I am thinking 'What do they want from me!' She proceeded to tell me to gather my husband and 'kid' and 'Go To H*ll!' She's calling MY home telling ME to go to h*ll? All I am trying to do is put food on the table, and I am suppose to go to hell? What kind of heartless, soulless people do they hire anyways?

Then when you try to call them back you can't because the number comes on with a message saying I am calling a non-working number. Place sounds like a scam to me if you can't even call them back. After doing some searching I found their phone number an what do you know they had nothing to say. HHHMMMM!

Vacation Network Inc. IT'S A SCAM!!!

This company wanted me to pay $599.00 to advertise and sell my timeshare. BIG RED FLAG when any company wants money up front.
I did my research and found all these complaints about this company, and all the people they scammed. Thanx for posting these complaints, you helped keep my money out of their pockets. The only way to get back at them is to keep this from happening to others.
They actually sent me a post card 6 mos. ago and I held onto it because I was considering selling my timeshare. I'm not sure how they got my address but, I'm calling my resort first thing in the morning to notify them of this. The post card told me to ask for Kris Kennedy but I actually spoke to an Angela.

Vacation Network Inc. Failure to refund membership fee

My husband and I attended the sales presentation after receiving offers for free airline tickets. I had reviewed the reports on this website and other "scam" sites, but we decided that we would check this out for ourselves. After the presentation, we purchased the membership that included "the right to purchase 2 weeks of vacation per year" for $4299.00. After getting home and reviewing the documents, as well as pricing some of the locations that were mentioned in the presentation, we decided this was not a good value. The yearly fees were as much as some of the vacations would have cost. We attempted to make a reservation and were told that they would not even check on the possibility because there was not a 60 day advanced notice, even though the sales person in the presentation told us that they would always check for last minute bookings if it weren't busy season. This was confirmation to us that we did not want to continue with this membership.

We contacted our attorney, who advised us to rescind the contract immediately. We sent the right to rescission letter and sent it via certified mail on November 5, 2008. I called to follow up and could not get anybody to return my calls. After informing the receptionist that our attorney would be calling, we finally received a message from a gentlemen stating that our refund would be processed on December 13, 2008. Today is December 19, 2008. I have called the corporate office and have been told that I would have to leave messages. I have not received a return phone call and have not received my refund.

We have been members since 2009 paying $4299.00 to become members. It was great for several years. We started realizing the condos were in need of repairs. We contacted VNI. In 2021, we put in for our vacations and they did not have anything in the gulf coast area. I and my husband talked to Raven and she said they no longer had any inventory in the area. They took our $492.00 yearly dues. I called this year when I saw the yearly membership was taken out. I called and had to go thru hell to get a manager. He told me his name was DADDY DAY. Big red flag. He told me they had one location in that area. He stated his cousin was even there. How convenient. I asked for my membership fees to be returned. He said we knew that they would be taken out and they had sent email regarding the fees. I told him what Raven had told us and he said she didn’t tell us that. He had no way of knowing, due too the calls are not recorded. I found out yesterday he was the owner and his name is Teddy and his last name is not Day. I want my last two years of memberships fees be refunded and after I receive the money back we are writing a letter to cancel our membership. If anyone wants to go into a class action suit with me, you can send me your email. I am also going through the Attorney General of Georgia. You can contact me at Stggulf@aol.com for the class action suit.

Vacation Network Inc. refund of payments

I gave VNI a payment last Apri ($499) and and additional ($200) in August for a reservation. The reservation never materialized as they offered me nothing which fit my needs. I was told after much confusion on their part on November 11th that I would be refunded the money on December 5th, 2008. That has come and gone and am now being told that I will be paid on February 13th. They will then have held my money for 9 months without providing me anything, no interest, nothing. It's very unprofessional. They should refund money to their members in a timely fashion and it makes me suspicious that they will do so at all.

We purchased this membership 5 years ago in Austin, TX and also soon discovered this is a scam company. So stupid to buy into this deal after seeing how they do this. Evening in some office complex, very shady. They roll in, setup temporary shop, then sell all these memberships. We cannot get any reservations to any of the places promised. We tried many times. They don’t cancel your membership and continue to post yearly fees to my credit. I’ll try to contact my state AG and see what can be done but do not buy anything from Vacations International or Summit Vacations

Hi Kenneth,

Their website doesn’t show any news since 2017.

I too am interested in a class action lawsuit! I regretted this purchase as soon as we returned from the cruise, but was told it was too late to cancel. of course if I have three days to cancel but you send me on a three-day cruise...it will be too late to cancel when I return! I am so done! but I don't want to lose all of my money. to the person who used the attorney general...What do you say to them in order for them to be willing to help?

VNI is a Rip off .. We agreed to take a cruise to the Bahama's for $1500 all inclusive. This included two nights in Lauderdale, two on the Ship and Two in Orlando, this was through Celebration Cruise lines, which under Bahamian registry. When we got to Lauderdale we had to sit through "" 9 "" hours of time share presentation or forfeit our boarding passes, we were even denied a lunch break and I am a diabetic. We did not buy the time share as it was not suppose to be a requirement. The next day we had to drive 30 miles north to the Office of Vacation Network and had to sit through another " 4 ": hours of presentations. We finally agree to buy it for $ 5000, $2500 per week, based on what we were told. We then had an hour to drive north to the port for boarding and if we did not arrive on time we would miss the ship and forfeit our prepaid $1500, so by the time VNI was done, we didn't have time to read all the "fine print", this was simply a pressure tactic that they used. You are only given three days to void the contract and that would be rather impossible if you are in the Bahamas.When we got to Orlando they once again attempted to make us sit through another "timeshare" presentation, but we refused. We submitted a vacation request form and now we are being told that we can not vacation where we necessarily want to go and that they will make that decision for us. We have to pay for their decision in advance and no refund will be given if we do not like their decision. We were also told that every vacation location has a 4 star minimum rating and this is also a lie, simply look up that location and see for yourself. Basically we got screwed by Celebration Cruise Lines and Vacation Network who are obviously working together with each other, even though they will flat out deny it ..

I am having the same problem. I just lost a loved one and felt pressured to purchase. Immediately after my cruise, I tried to cancel and was told it was too late. I will be traveling for a week in March. It is not what I wanted. I waited 3 months for them to book Charleston which is listed in the book. They never were able to do so. I wish I could get my money back.

We have used our VNI at least three times. Two were absolutely beautiful (one in Hawaii and one in San Diego). The one in the Bahamas was the pits. However, for the price of 499 per week and the locations we were housed in, we saved a lot of money. First stay saved us 900, the second stay saved us 650, and the last stays saved us 950. if you book early and make them find the best property that they can find in that area, you will be impressed. I am very proud of my VNI purchase.

Vacation Network Inc. Sale of Timeshare

My husband and I enrolled with Vacation Network, Inc. on
February 6, 1995 to sell a timeshare studio @ Hotel Cancun Palace in
Mexico.

Vacation Network, Inc. charged my AMEX card $497.00 to
market, advertise and sell our timeshare.

We communicated with Vacation Network, Inc. on April 11, 1995,
May 16, 1995, July 13, 1995, August 14, 1995, August 18, 1995,
August 29, 1995 and lastly on December 3, 1995.

To date, no response or communication from Vacation
Network, Inc. This company is a fraud and should be dealt
with the Better Business Bureau in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I have many companies calling me to list my timeshare for resale
with them. Of course, for a price. After dealing with Vacation
Network, Inc. I would not trust another timeshare company
that deals with the resale of timeshare units.

Vacation Network Inc. Rip off do not deliver what they sell!

I joined last year and paid half of the cost down and was paying the balance monthly. I got one vacation this year and have 29 more to go. Well I could not get them to book my next vacation for next year I followed all the rules and they will not call you back. I kept calling with no results. This company has been in business 8 years per their Director of Operations James Atkins. He recently sent out a letter saying they had been having complaints about their service and offered two options one was to receive one extra week vacation for every three you have left. The other options was to cancel my purchase agreement and receive 50% of my payments back. I took the refund this was on September the 23thrd 2007. I have not heard one word from the company other than a phone call from one of their Managers asking me not to cancel that they had been swamped with request and had purchased some condos in PC, Fl. and would give me a free week if I did not cancel. I said no! I wanted my money back they had not kept their promise and were not taking care of their good paying customers. They owe me $2800 and she said it would take 120 days to refund this money. This was not a good sign that it would be 120 days to get half my money back I paid the day I joined why can't they pay sooner? Well I hope they keep this promise so far they have been very poor business managers and may be ripping people off as I write this complaint.

Thank you to all who posted honest comments about this company & their business practices. My husband & I were going to attend a meeting, but after reading the comments decided we did not want to get involved with Vacation Network or Getaway Vacation Network. I received a confirmation call the day before our meeting, and told the sales person we would not be attending due to all the negative comments on their company. She wanted to argue with me, so I hung up. She then called back immediately, laughed into the phone, and hung up! So glad we read this board, as any company employing morans like that for sales staff needs to go out of business fast! To anyone else reading these comments, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

I have requested a vacation 7 times. Once it was nice the only other 1 I could get was substandard. The other times they failed miserably. I have tried to get a refund and there is none. I spent thousands of dollars. They are a rip off and should not be in business. There is no integrity to this company. Some of the representatives were nice but nothing comes of it. My son tried to use our plan. They did not return calls, he had to constantly call them. They don't deliver. Go somewhere else.

I have been to the show and yes it was a high pitched pressure sales. We met a nice couple that had bought similar package 10 years ago and were at the presentation to re-buy package. Yes I was given a free fly and stay. What really shocks me is Why do you think the company should pay for your taxes on the certificate? If you won on the price is right u would have to pay uncle sam his taxes or r u foolish enough to think the price is right pays the winners taxes?

We bought into this VNI thing in 2009 and paid in excess of $4, 000.00, we DID NOT get FREE airline tickets as promised. We did get a small discount. We used VNI one time and according to the contract which we followed to the letter attempted to get a reservation in the 60 day time frame. Well, they just kept dragging their feet and eventually ended up putting us in a hotel for a week. This was in direct breach of the contract which says, villas, condos, etc., no mention of HOTELS. Like most folks, I tried to get money back and no luck. I filed complaints with the Georgia BBB, what a joke. Then I filed a complaint with the Georgia Attorney General's office. They sent my complaint to the Texas Atty. Gen. I did receive a letter from them, but, don't expect them to do anything. My next step is to SUE!

My wife and I bought into this program, while on a cruise to St Thomas, USVI, in April 2011. After reading the "fine print", once back on the ship, we wanted to cancel the whole thing. Only problem is that they have the contract written with the "Non-Cancellable" clause in it. After calling the "Reseller" and VNI, I contacted the Attorney General offices of our state (Florida) and (Georgia). The State of Florida AG told us that there was nothing they could do to help us get our money back. I have had several conversations with the State of Georgia AG office and our case is still open, but no resolutions have been obtained. We just don't know if they are going to do anything for us. As a last resort, we contacted an attorney, but he told us it would be very hard to recover our money, PLUS at $375 an hour (lawyer fees), the amount we would hope to recover would be quickly eaten up by the fees. It seems like it is a Lose-Lose situation. All the reviews, that I read, lean toward this company (and associates) being a BIG SCAM.

DO NOT BE FOOLED! These guys promise a free trip, but there's nothing free about it. First, you have to send in $4.95 to get your 'vacation packet.' Then, you only have a month to decide where you want to go and pay $50 per flight up front. When you actually DO go within the year to your chosen destination, then you have to pay ANOTHER $59 per flight. And don't be surprised if the blackout dates and restrictions further cramp your style. Oh, and if you want to use that 'extra' offer of the hotel? Well, they're not set up to be used on the same trip as your flights. The towns they are available rarely match your flight destinations. And you have to pay ANOTHER $50 up front for this as well. Before you know it, you're out a few hundred bucks for two people to take that 'free' getaway. It's a scam and it's a despicable way to do business. The big print giveth and the little print taketh away.

I was behind a closed door with someone badgering me to buy their program for over an hour. I finally caved because I felt I was not going to get out of there without signing something. I am in the process of trying to get my money refunded. I believe this is a violation of Federal Trade Commission regulations. I also spoke to the woman named Pam. I believe I was lied to about hours and when someone was available.

Vacation Network Inc. Fraud and cheating!

Well I can answer this question. I joined them and wish I had not. Today I called them to ask why are you trying to book me a room that looks like a hotel room. I joined because they stated that I would get time resort apartments with full amenities. They told me today that because I have been complaining on line to a numerous RIP OFF SITES That they no longer wish to keep me as a member and they decided to drop my membership. I paid every year over $200.00 only because I had no choice. Stay a member or loose my 23 paid vacation weeks. I spoke with Pam, she is the person who answered the phone, I told her so does that mean that I will get the monies back for weeks that I have not used? She said I have to take it up with the company. So I said let me speak with the owner. She blocks calls that come in to the owner. So she just hung up on me today. I will send statements to all the media folks in Georgia hoping that they will expose these people. I will pray to GOD every day that they get shut down. But just because they get shut down does not mean that legally they can re-establish as a new organization and start the scam all over again. Stay away from all. This is my advise. Juan Carlos Rodriguez. [protected]@verizon.net. GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY. He will fight for me. This is what is written in the Bible.Now Pam said they dropped me as a member but are going to keep all my money. Thats six thousand dollars that they wont give back. I get dropped because I complained. They would not let me speak to the owner. Based on what I have been told the owner is Asian.

Advise smb what should i do!

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you, but it sounds as though we paid the most of anyone for our "membership." Over $6000 and never used. Can't get the requested weeks as many of you pointed out. I'd happily be a part of a class action suit, and would really like to know how some of you got your money back. I'd almost just be happy not having to pay the $395.25 annual fee ever again. I will contact the two of you who left email addresses in hopes of getting some input on what you did to get out of this group.

My husband and I joined VNI through Platinum Travel in Plano, Texas as well. Our contract was sold to Monterey Financial 2014. We have only taken one vacation and the one stay was horrible. Do not stay at The Cliffs Resort in Hawaii because the units do not have AC. During the time that we stayed the weather were near 90 and it was warm. Do not rely on VNI's customer service to inform you about these things because they want. We were told that their resorts, condos, suites, villas were equivalent to a 4 or 5 star hotel and the presentation presented to us featured that as well. Not true, the lodging is equivalent to a 2 star hotel. Our second request was submitted over a year in advance in which they could not deliver. The sad part is that we purchased their so call premium package.

My wife and I joined vni through Platinum Travel in Plano Texas. Not long after we joined, they sold our contract to Monterey Financial in California. I thought that strange, but contracts are sold, so I let it pass. We didn’t realize that we had been scammed until we tried to use it over a year later. I called the sales person and he didn’t call back, so I called again. He promised that he would fax Monterey and cancel the contract, but that didn’t happen. My wife called and again he promised her the same, except he decided to give her a lecture on contracts in Texas, which I did not appreciate. Again nothing happened. So I Googled both Platinum Travel, (rated F with the BBB) and vni and found all of these complaints. I just wish I had Googled a year ago. I’m complaining to both the Federal Trade Commission and the Texas Attorney General’s office, and joining the Class action referred to above. My e-mail is wtoakley@hotmail.com.

I agree this is a huge rip-off. I became a VNI owner in summer 2010 and just used now. There are two big 'gotchas': 1- there is a MINIMUM 8% uplift on the maintenance fee annually (fine print) and 2: the exchange wording regarding HIGH and LOW demand seasons have some more gotchas. For Low (request outside 60 days) and High (outside 90 days) you MUST request outside these timeframes. (By the way, the navigation on their website is terrible, it does not timestamp requests, nor do you get email confirmations of requests when submitted, only after fact by Atlanta staff). Additionally, there are the holidays and "Special Events" which require requests to be made greater than 180 days from the time of your vacation. The special events include 14 different events (all without specified dates) including such events as spring break and octoberfest. Additionally, VNI WILL NOT even look for properties, even if they might be available, during these times. So if one of their vendores such as RCI happens to have a property during one of the above times, and you wanted it, you could not get it through VNI because they will not do the search. Additionally, they require paymets in FULL for the properties prior to a search, and only if they can not fill the search will they then pay you back. I have not gone through that process but can only imagine what a pain that will be. This is worse than my previous experience with Timeshare, which by comparison, was much much better.
