Hi all, I read your feedback and new to this forum. However, i just want to share my experience to you guys so that in future, it wont happen to you. we purchased the time sharing vacation club with sivc last year 2010. and went ahead to book for our overseas trip in advance by 8 months for planning. Yet, after all those planning and money spent, to my family's horror on the day we reach the affiliated hotel where bookings are confirmed, the affliated hotel has closed down.

We were left by the roadside with luggages tramatise without accommodation !! A very bad experience, eventhough hotel was already closed for two weeks before our departure, sivc failed to inform us on this matter!!

I was wondering how many people are caught in this situation and not reported in news/forum?

So the next round you intend to purchase a membership, pls be very careful when you are going to pay so much money for it.

wow...that sounds like sivc! They are getting worst these days...
hi tk1888, can you share with us which hotel is this? So that we can becareful when the members make reservation next time!

whichever of you who have Sunway international vacation club, ever complained before to them? Was anything done?

Complain after complain but they just sit on it and do nothing. This is what i get if i complain about sudden shut down of certain resort:

For those who are tempted to sign up with any vacation club and not only SIVC, but only Swiss Garden, Golden Horse, Berjaya,etc. I think you better think twice, i'm pretty sure you have better way to save/invest your money then dump it into vacation club. There is no way back!

hi everyone...would like to ask if anyone have ever tried to cancel or terminate their vacation club membership?...is it possible to cancel or terminate our vacation club membership after the cooling-off period?...if yes, what are the steps or procedures?...pls advice...

thx

I don't think you can cancel or terminate after the 10 days cooling off period. The only thing that you can do is sell off your membership or do not pay your yearly maintenance then your membership will automatically freezing your membership and eventually cancel your membership. But what do you get out of this? You don't spend RM10K or RM20K or even more then you skip the maintenance fee and eventually caused your the membership right? Once you sign up the vacation club, don't expect to utilise the entitlement immediately. From what i know, you have to pay minimum 30% of the membership cost then only you can start to utilise your entitlement. So, please think before you sign up any vacation club. It is a one way traffic and irreversible. The sweet talk is also over upon cooling off period expiry.


Added on July 3, 2011, 9:10 pmLatest update, i notice that sunway vacation club has cancel all the made available resort in europe,kenya and australia. So the only made available resort left is in Asia. Like usual, they do not even bother to inform its member at all...so beware. With Matta fair is on its way next month, don't fall for their sweet talk and sign up blindly.

Hi all,

i m sivc club member.

So far i went to Port Dickson , Malacca . all the trip are pleasant.
This coming Oct i will go to Australia Gold Coast. i have make reservation in beginning of year.

But want to share... just found all those oversea like Australia, Uk, Spain , Portugal been remove from the website. not sure what happen.
*
Haha, what a lucky girl.
As what you mentioned is quite true, all the australia/europe hotel has been removed permanently. I have double confirm with the SIVC with that, they told me that "Sunway International Vacation Club reservers the absolute right to change, revise or replace the whole or any part of the Made Available Points Resorts without notice."
So, please do yourself a favour, check with them before departure. You don't want to end up like tk1888...

Not only SIVC have this problem, all others also the same

thats why i everytime fark up those ppl who sell timeshare.

If you don't know your company products please dont sell
*
Haha,i don't think they don't know their products. In fact i think their know their product far too well but then they are only providing selective information. We, as inexperience customer most probably do not know how to probe for the negative part and eventually all fall for the timeshare trap. So please, think really carefully before sign up any timeshare...

Me and my friend had signed up for the Sunway Vacation during 2008. But after a few months we decided to cancelled the membership with the non refundable membership fees probably 5-6K at that time. Now recently I received a statement letter from them. Already cancelled 4 years ago, now asking for RM12K.
Now, this is robbery!

This is really robbery and no one is taking any action agaist them. Do you have any black and white letter from them saying that they acknowlege your cancellation?

hi,

i just fall victim to this time share business at Penang Matta Fair today.

i read the agreement and it state there 10 days cooling period.

is there any guide how to write the cancellation letter?

what if they purposely ignore and pretend didn't received the
cancellation letter within 10 days?

by the way its sara worldwide/easturia vacation club. i changed my
mind immidiately at home when reading their user guide and
prospectus...so many things they didn't mention in their
sweet talk!
*
The cooling off period is 10 days so it is still not too late to cancel it...
I think you have to go to their office, return whatever free stay vouchers that they are giving you and have face to face discussion with them, they will have no.choice but to acknowledge your cancellation...
Share with us the final outcome ok?

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!

I was member since 2007.

Yes last time was nice but not now. The trend has changed. So I'm voting out. otherwise its going to be 3x of the annual fee. Not worth it!

So what's the outcome of the EGM?
