anyone here using leisure holidays~ Im now dying~ I book for KL resort and they say my point is not enuff so I ask to transfer advance point and they say cannot~ shitlah~ before sign up they say can not say cannot!

Huh? Can you share more details with us? Did you just join and then they said you don't have enough points or what?

I never trust all this Time sharing vacation thing, my experiences is that you will never fully enjoy the benefit promised.

For example, some hotel will allocated certain number of rooms for Time sharing only, and a lot of limitation, like only weekday only etc etc, so like you guy experienced, most of the time, you will not able to get the room you wanted.

please take note that some of the time sharing vacation plan is actually managed by third party rather than the hotel itself.

i join last july in penang Matta Fair...
they say i have to pay at least half year instalment only can take advance point.. so end up we didnt lo...
the feedback was fast.. i think they get many complain dy

Well, in my opinion i think pay half year installment then only can take advance point is quite fair...As for SIVC, you have to pay atleast 50% of the total price then only you can utilise the points. The worst part is, in order for you to utilise the advance points, you have to pay the maintenance fee in advance too....:'(
Stupid Sunway,shame on YOU!

If anyone have complaint on time share please visit www.nccc.org.my.It is a National consumer complaint center.Im a way timeshare member.Im also not satisfy the service and the package i join.Because the sales person hide many T&C and at the end asked you to sign and not giving you time for think.Just a simple question you can ask the salesman,how mny hotel room did way reserve from local or others country?As i know Legend water challet only less than 5 rooms.Let said sivc had >1000 members how can it fulfill all member.I also sucspect same as other's country resort/hotel.You must think on your side as member what benefit i can get.Why i need to reserve a room before certain month for my vacation.Is it worth i pay so much but need to Q for booking?V r member and oso consumer.I hope all of members who not satisfy complaint to timeshare company else report to government www.nccc.org.my.I hope Malaysia government need to concern on it.Better anti all time share activities else more victims.Whether the company is a big corporate or not,legal or illegal.Just BANN it!

Wow, relek bro. You opened a new account to anti_timeShare? Mind sharing with us some of your painful experience so that someone who haven't join timeshare wouldn't fall into their trap? As i know, I think for Legend Water Chalet, they have only 2 units. FYI, SIVC has >3000 members last year. So, you do the math. Shame on Sunway Group!!!!

Slightly off topic but any one have any ideas where I can sell my Leisure Holidays membership.
Already had it for a long, long time.
Don't think it is the points based membership.

sunway has priv like these. can ask at the sunway hotel business desk

Sunway, Swiss, Heritage. Why you would like to join?

Hi...just joined the forum. I am a SIVC timeshare member for 2 years now. Bought the Platinum package for RM10K ++. Gotta pay that amount in four years.

What are the chances that I stop my monthly payment? Will they take action against me? M not that diligent in paying the installment either. I had tried to cancel my membership, but no success. They said, they've given 10 days cooling off period of which i can decide not to join this membership. Honestly, I can't recall, when did they say that during the sweet talk session. And I haven't even used the points ever since i became a member.

I know, I fell for the sweet talk.

Now, all I want to do is not pay them anymore. Any ideas/advice?

I'm svc member too. Anyway to cancel this contract ?

I dont' think it is wise that you stop the payment..it is simply not worth it for u as you have paid for 2 years. Btw, how much u pay per month? If u cancel now, u'll lose everything. Unfortunately, that cooling off period is really stated in the agreement, just that during the sweet talk they never explain to us. The question is: do you really go and enjoy the resort? If u really enjoy it, then i think it is still ok.

I have another painful experience with SIVC recently. As i tried to reserve made available resort oversea, took them 2 weeks to come back with my 3rd choice selection. 2 weeks? Fine, never mind. Ask them few questions through email, they totally turn a deaf ear to me. What the hell? Ask for resort information, they send me a low resolution JPG, printed it out and enlarge it with magnifier also can't read properly. I requested again, this time they totally ignore me. Is it really that hard to send me resort information?

Any place that i can complain to this? Everytime when i wrote in email to general line to complain, a lady name Shireen Wong will reply with a very sarcastic note. Their motto is: You can complain any time u like but you can never leave!! Stupid Sunway, shame on you!!!

To all brothers and sisters here, do not fall for their trap and join timeshare.

Added on May 21, 2010, 10:28 pmHi there,

When did you sign up for it? If it is below 10days, it is still under cooling off period and you can walk into their office and cancel right away, but beware their boss, an old lady, I think if not mistaken Natasha or something, she is really quite convincing. Don't fall for their trap. We got up to the second step and fall for that old lady sweet talk.

I'm around one year. As I'm not really using it so just want to cancel it. Any one experiEnce with it? pls share if there is anyway to cancel it cause it really not really useful for me

Around one year, you utilise their inhouse installment or they bill every month and you just go and pay it? Around one year, meaning that you have paid around RM6K already. There is no way to cancel, unless you don't pay and they forfeited your membership. I think it is not worth it, i think you can sell the membership to someone or sell the rooms out, mind telling what is your membership? Platinum even or odd?

Hmm... SIVC again.... my dad now currently in some issue with SIVC ... they have salesperson who just ask you to sign on empty forms and say it for "standby" purpose and then send it up to bank to start recharge your credit card when you say to them you are no longer interested.

Even with police reports made, they are still taking it up that the legal documents are legally signed .... guess what... the salesperson also left SIVC already.

SIVC relationship managers? well... they will only help you if you want to give money to them ... not when you ask for refund.

I think if we setup a group of people who wants to complaint SIVC or take legal action against them ... the numbers of people would be interesting to see.

Totally true, when you request something from them, they just totally ignore you. They are only efficient when come to collection.

not only vacation club is bull-shit.. ANYTHING that u have PAID in advance for, will b a total shit thereafter. simple!! monies paid, lost all bargaining power. they will just full around your nose lo.. i had a verrry bad experience with my current vacation club too> regent (RVC)

anyone selling their SIVC diamond ver? what is the cost of transfer? any caveats? RCI transferrable also?

I am selling mine, anyone interested?
