Lately, there has been a surge of companies offering ‘vacation club’ discounts in the hopes of convincing the timeshare market to purchase pricey club membership access with various perks.
As these ‘clubs’ are not technically timeshares, they sometimes skirt or avoid laws put in place to protect consumers from being scammed.
For example, CNN is reporting that one vacation club would offer new members a discount coupon to Red Lobster and encourage them to use it. Once used, they’d void their right to a refund on their $7500 membership purchase.
This illustrates yet again why buyers should fully research things prior to spending thousands on anything.
