I have done my survey at Iconic Vacation Club (located at Midvalley) on 7-Mar-2014. As their promised, they will give 2D1N stay for 2 pax at Golden Palm Tree Iconic Resort & Spa - Travelers Palm Villa (Room only).

I try to book my room on the date (as what voucher stated only applicable on weekdays) i wishes, but after a few mail, all the weekday date I selected is not available and as well I asked the management give me the date is available. Below are the respond from IVC team and I felt they are cheating the customer for free survey.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear,

Greetings!

The email is well received,this Complimentary Stay Voucher issuing by Iconic Vacation Club and our inventory already fully booked up to Month of Sept 2014.

As we work on a basis of a certain number of rooms for our Complimentary Stay Voucher holder per day.This complimentary stay voucher is applied to weekdays (Monday - Thursdays) only not applicable during Eve-Public Holidays , Public Holidays or School Holidays.

The condition is clearly stated in the voucher that our rooms are limited and it is on a first come, first served basis as a room are limited i.e Traveler Palm Villa and this voucher does not guarantee a room booking or reservation as your already agree our Term & Condition (with signature).

Therefore, we are unable to advise the availability of Room (Traveler Palm Villa) also we are unable to extend the validity of the Voucher.

We thank you for your understanding and Sorry for any inconvenience may caused you.

After the entire email, they claim that no room which already fully booked up to Month of Sept 2014 and the voucher only valid for 6 months from the date of issue. Then what is the point keep telling customer you can get free room??

Please DO NOT believe on this survey anymore. Please share with your friend on this.

I don't think you are sharing information, you are soliciting this timeshare package!

I plan to report this to the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism as this is purely cheating. I've given them almost 10 dates and they just simply reply me and said not able to check and ask me to book other places. Obviously they do not plan to honor the FREE room at the first place.

Beware of Exchange Vacation club. Give you free stay voucher to stay at soon to be open Best Western Melaka but keep on postponing the launch to more than a year. Just a trick to ask you to attend their presentation to sell their vacation packages.

they jz called me up today and ask to get the free stay voucher, they mentioned no timesharing/membership to be sold, jz go to give feedback and then take voucher back, is that true? i been to many hotel/office about the vacation club and initially said only take less than an hour, but ended up few hours there - their so called managers/seniors came to persuade u and psycho u to sign-up..

Hi all,

Thanks for all your experiences that you all shared. May I know whether anyone here is a member of palace vacation club, and whether s/he are planning to sell their membership? I appreciate your replies.

Sincerely,

A timeshare purchase is never a good idea. Some people buy them with the idea of a financial investment, but a timeshare is not a good investment at all. Besides, there are lots of fees involved. This is a good article that has good information about timeshares and how to use it properly: [url= http://www.timesharescam.com/blog/119-timeshare-sales/] http://www.timesharescam.com/blog/119-timeshare-sales/ [/url]

just bewarn NOT to get to sweet talk into buying this crap. they will simply charge your credit card for payment forcing me to block the card and get replacement. luckily just paid RM4.2k before changing my mind. Its better to just get MATTA fair offer if you want to go holiday.

Where to complain to get back money? Since the contract I sign never got back to me and I am liable to get back money since it's not legal anyway. Can consumer tribunal help?

Now they shifted to PJ Best Western. http://www.exchangevc.com/

Cheat cheat cheat.. It's scam call.. Don't attend to this calls.

I got conned from exchange vacation club... Just signed up 2 days back.. No contract and agreement given by them.. They are keen to swipe your credit card.. Even not enough limit. They achieved swiped with 50% which is 5k +.. Their line is always engaged. So I walk into their office on Monday.. There was only one person available and saying others are on leave... Since its only 2 days, I am going to tribunal pengguna tomorrow to make complain..

You don't need IVC member to book the room.

Nevertheless, some of the IVC member might willing to sell off some of their allocated rooms with cheaper price than those hotel booking sites.

Pros:
1. Free 1 week of international RCI resort, FOC RCI membership for 20 years, FOC 4 days 3 nights villa upon signed up
2. I took the free RCI vacation exchange in Malaga, Spain, which was truly awesome
3. The trading power is quite high for RCI exchanges
4. Looking forward for my next vacation to Santorini, Greece. rclxm9.gif

Cons:
1. The AVANI Sepang Goldcoast Resort valet parking is too expensive even for staying customer
2. My car was scratched by their valet parking, in which they took no responsible on that incident! vmad.gif
3. It took some learning curve to pick up the RCI booking tricks (Search / Exchange / Deposit)
4. EXPENSIVE

All Time sharing vacation clubs are almost the same...lure u & sweet talk you...Once u joined them, all the promises not fulfill suc as:

1) Promised 7 days stay but din mentioned only 2 days weekend!!
2) The ever increase yearly maintenance fee...Ranging from RM270 & higher but no renovation as promised
3) U need to book early (Atleast 6-9mth in advance or else no unit available
4) After taking a/c the oppotunity cost on the advances paid, the cost per room which they said about RM70-RM90 per day actually can comes to RM100/day instead...(OK-lah but not as cheap as u expected)
5) No breakfast..u hv to buy your own so if added in the room cost probably RM150!! sad.gif

True!
Advisable to all not just listen only but, read carefully the agreement. Leisure Holidays membership paid up 22k by installment (forgot how many years). Service not so good compare to common hotel, just like what this user (stimix) mentioned. During signup they told you the membership price will keep increasing and you surely can earn what you paid now after few years… bla bla bla. In the end, I can see the maintenance fees keep increasing each year to ask to pay. After struggling few years I decided to sell it. Guess what! Just able sold out with 3k; they give me back 1k only after deduct this and that! Conclusion is... Leisure Holidays membership worth 3k only! Very disappointed! sad.gif

Hi guys, I just signed up for Swiss garden VC. I just paid the installment and felt so regretted about it. Could anyone can tell me, if I give up the membership and don't want to pay rest of the money what will happen? Is it compulsory to pay all the money?

Read your agreement and find out the cooling off period. If you regret within the cooling off period, you could get full refund!
