my refund process successful.
i managed to get full refund, but they charged me rm45 for admin@processing fee.

but believe me it was a roller coaster ride.

does anyone received calls from Sepang Gold Coast that they are giving out free 3D2N stays? But have to sit through a 45minutes presentation.

no, but i will be interested if it is free

Normal Vacation club (Time sharing) and those Hotel vouchers style of marketing. Nothing new.

nothing is free. u'll most probably be made to sit for hours to listen to their sales talk and do some serious hard selling before giving you the free stay that will most probably come with terms and conditions that you most likely find it difficult to redeem.

my 2 cents n I maybe wrong about it

Haha.. normally the Term & Condition include:

- Must used within short period of time..~ 2-3 mths from the date
- No weekend and all Weekdays
- No School Holidays and must be booked atleast months before..

So imagine.. they give you the voucher valid for 3 mths and you listen to the talk in Nov- School holiday..and you need atleast 1-2 mth notice..

So basically the 1st 2 mths you can't exercise the option and since you need advance booking and let say January got lotsa Holiday inc Chinese New year... The voucher as good as "burnt"

I used to go to such talks decade ago and exercise only 3 out of the 5 - 6 of the free stays..

2 vouchers gone bcos of te stupid T&C ..darmit

1 free stays- Bali hotels for 5 nights- yes- I did when but the due to the date not coincide with Air Asia promo, I have to buy expensive air tickets to goto Bali... Ended up, this free stays in Bali more expensive than my earlier year holiday to Bali..darm

ahhh sounds like i should avoid this, since im easily give in

go!

but dont bring credit card and cash
bring a clear headed friend along.

listen to their sales pitch and dont give in.
then just get the voucher。

update:

got my refund last week.

Beside the 7 days, what else you get from club membership? how about their facilities such as gym, spa, sauna, and others. does it include in your club membership?

If you r interested, I am selling mine ( bvc) , ring me 012-2511310

Hello guys. I have been a member of Leisure Holidays for one year.
Most of the time I feel regret with my decision to join this vacation club because I think its too expensive for one week yearly in a limited choice of below par resorts.
Plan to cancel it but cannot find any cancellation clause in the agreement + i already paid almost half of the amount so i might as well continue the monthly payment.
I advise anyone who interested or being approached by these timeshare clubs to resist their tempting offer.
But if you still insist on joining any vacation clubs, you can buy it from me

So far I have no prob with Leisure Holidays, i just think its not worth the massive amount u have to pay. Last week i called them to book the apartment in Langkawi because i bought the cheap airasia promo ticket and they told me they can only receive booking 6 months before my travel date, cannot earlier than that.

So any of u guys joined this Leisure Holidays?

Hello everybody...

i just sign in last 2 day for Swiss Garden international Vacation Club (SGIVC)..

Is its service is good or bad? Feedback please? Because, i'm every year travel on vacation...

Hi can you advice me on how to write the cancel letter for joining vacation club? Thanks

Hi, for those joining the time sharing/Vacation Cub,

Do you do your evaluation before joining the club/ membership?, alot of hassle and time will be wasted for chasing/confirm this and that.

This idea have been in the market for more than 10 year. I had been joined their sweet talk season, but fortunately i am not impress that need pay in advance for the holiday i would utilise in the future, it like swipe yours cc before you buy something. For me , if i got money i like the freedom to travel on schedule within 3 month, and not waited for the 6-8 month.

With the available of AA, i am sure that the most expensive ticket for yours travel expenses have available if you brain enough to waite and search on promotion time. For hotel, i use to search hotel booking on-line search web brower, it tend to be more convinience , cheaper and can get traveller advisers on that hotel and infors as well. If for low season, i would prefer to book first night, then when arrival, will be search for best bargain hotel.

For me, the time sharing is totally conned technique by hotel operator to get advance payment without any legal responsibilities. anyway, this IMHO.

I received a call few days ago, there is someone interested to buy my holiday timeshare which I was not utilized and they offer to pay in cash. The terms was, I need to pay them some fee for the legal and stamping cost, which is only 10% of my timeshare value.

I'm not very sure about the timeshare re-sale or timeshare trading. Can somebody help to explain what it is all about and make me understand (use layman term) how much the timeshare worth in market value.

Thank you in advance.

Thread merged. From your describtion, the modus operandi is similar to Nigerian scam i.e someone manage to get your detail & start sending spam email similar to the one happening in mudah.com.my

They normally responded to the advert and asking you to deposit certain amt...Those believing this scam will pay 1st & no more receiving any email or even can't contact the person anymore.. I will rather you not entertaining such call asking you to deposit or send goods 1st b4 pyt.

Read some of almost similar modus operandi i.e the Nigerian scam in mudah.com.my:

Thank you. Really appreciate that.

Anyone here familiar with BVC hotel room bookings?

My husband and I are fairly new with BVC but we are getting VERY FRUSTRATED doing the rooms bookings.

There are so many TnC which are not listed in their contract.

We just found out (the hard way) that we can only:
1) Book max of 2 room nites stay.
2) We cannot book our 2nd holiday until we have utilized the 1st bookings.
Like this, how do we finish the 7 days FREE ROOM STAY Entitlement?

All these Vacation Club membership is a darn RIP OFF.

Can anyone please help LET ME KNOW how I can go about the MULTIPLE ROOM bookings and MULTIPLE VACATION books. Planning our DECEMBER holiday and trying to utilize all 7days in that month.
