I just cancel my membership. Luckily still in cooling off period, so I can get all refund. After call and send email with cancellation letter. I follow up untill 4 times, they said person in charge not around, mc, take leave and so on . So my 4th call, I just tell them, If no person in charge call me before 12pm tomorrow I will ask Tribunal Pengguna follow up this case for me. Then immediately i got call 11am next day :-) . She send me details & letter to terminate membership. Hopefully I can get my refund without any delay.
Glad that you able to withdraw yourself out from this scam. Let us know whether you got your refund back.
I also went to a presentation recently. Actually I was already aware of the marketing scheme a lot of vacation club are using but I attended it since Midvalley was near to my appointment on that day and I was thinking to see what's in their sleeve.

The sales representative sweet talked me about my dream, i am really lucky to be the chosen one bla bla bla...
For 90 mins, she tried really hard to make me sign the membership. When i said i need to discuss with my partner and maybe get a free stay to see if the experience will worth it, she kept telling me "no obligation, but don't u think..." to make me surrender my credit card (hey, no obligation then why still keep talking)
Before she handed me the free vouchers, she tried one last time: "are you and your partner serious? If yes, why not leave a RM260 cash deposit here, refundable, so that I can reserve the discount membership price for you. You need to show your sincerity right if you are serious"
This made me very irritated as I know I would have trouble getting the cash back later so I rejected right away. Then she said "okie, I hope you really will come back then. Based on my experience those who said they will come back will never come back. Once I passed you this voucher, I cannot do anything anymore la..."
I only smiled and replied her "yea I know~i am also sales so... (I won't come back)"
Then just like all other people who tried to redeem the voucher, I got the reply as below:

Member Service DepartmentI replied them with my complaint and no more response since after. They are just scammers who utilize people's greed, playing the terms and conditions, and psycho people to sign up their so called membership. Spread the news to your friends so they won't waste their time over there. But should they still interest to give it a try, just make sure they keep the wallet tight.
