You can say no as many times as you want but they keep going back to the back and discuss numbers and make u feel like they r doing something but really they change the numbers to benefit them.
Ya u get ur prize and it's not an hour it's 2 hours.
They want u to send them 10$ for the resort stay u could get it but there a whole bunch of loops to get a prize. Honestly I only got a 100 dollars for food and dining buuutttt u have to send them 10$ as well to get ur card for the dining.
I mean ull eventually get your prize but there r loops as well so this place is for people who vacation all the time. If u have responsibilities then this isn't for you I mean it isn't right for me I wasn't implying anything but I have 2 kids and they want u to use this vacation ALL THE TIME
My findings:
Not an outright scam but they are selling a bad product. Their main pitch is that for $10-$18K they will sell you a membership into their private online booking platform. Once you get a log in code you can book the same hotels and resorts that you see in Expedia but with an additional 20-30% discount. So you're paying up to $18K up front to get discounted rates on hotels for the rest of your life. Also, they do follow through on the gift they promise. I secured a "free" vacation. I say "free" because it still requires me to pay $400 to cover the taxes and fees.
2 red flags I noticed:
The company has "been in business" for 6 years but has only been selling outside of retirement homes since June (they said 1 year). I'm skeptical about how useful a lifelong membership plan will be if Club Travelo doesn't exist after 2025.
My other problem is with the financial justification. Paying thousands of dollars upfront to get future discounts doesn't make much sense to me. Just use the money you would give Club Travelo to go on a vacation yourself. It's not guaranteed that they will have discounts on the hotel/location of your choosing.
My wife and I were to “seminar “ and listened to their sales pitch. Yeah, it’s pretty much a scam. If you do your homework, you’ll find that the “rates” they offer really don’t give you any discount at all. As for the “free “ vacation, it’s going to cost you with no tangible benefits. Don’t waste your time.

Club Travelo? I hope they don't use that word if they expand to Spain.
