  On March 6, 2021, we were greeted by a man at ***** **** ***** had us spin a wheel and I did I won a trip for 2 to Hawaii, I was told I had to go to ****** ***** to pick up the prize vouchers, We then was told we had to watch a presentation to receive the prize voucher. At the presentation they gave us other free trips to get us sign up for the timeshare they pressured us we would say no and then someone else would come talk to us and offer us more free trips and free items , we just felt so pressured that we finally gave in. The company lied to us when we purchased this timeshare, said we could travel anywhere, When we received all our free stuff they had us go in a office sign everything it was very quick , u signed they didn't go over anything except saying we would receive 10,000 RCI points and that we could travel anywhere in the world that we wanted to go and handed us a book witha thumb drive, which is not the truth you cannot go anywhere at all with just 10,000 points so we have not been able to use this they totally lied to us and suckered us in with all the free stuff little did we know , they were not free you still had to pay some on those supposedly free trips. I have paid around $9500 on this already for nothing I cant use it at all , and I am a disabled veteran and on Social security disability I shouldn't have to pay for something that I cannot use its not right or fair at all. I also want out of my contract and membership this is a total rip off , They mislead you into thinking you can actually use this to go on vacations with your family and its not true its a total scam.. Its a trap ! I am requesting a full cancellation of my timeshare contract without further financial obligation and burden. I ask the Better Business Bureau to please investigate this and hold this company accountable, I am also requesting a full refund for the full amount that I have given them including yearly fees they have charged me. Thank You!

  We were concerned to learn that this member has encountered issues with their membership. Over the past four years, they have not reported any problems or concerns. However, they did reach out last week to inquire about financial hardship programs. We sympathize with their current financial challenges and will be responding to them directly in writing to address these matters.

  That's not the truth , I had reached out a few times before by calling there customer service,  number and was told that the only way I was able to get out of my contract is to pay it off , I told them with 10,000 poi ts you cannot travel anywhere at all everything takes way more then 10,000 points. Now recently yes I did ask once again about getting out of my contract and once again told them I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income the representative told me that they didn't have any hardship programs so I would have to pay my contract off or sell it before they would let me out of my contract , no one will buy something you cannot use. 10,000 points gets you know where and yall knew this when yall sold this to me . This isn't fair to take advantage of a disabled veteran,  I believe yall owe me a full refund since yall lied to me and said we would be able to travel all over with this and its not true at all!

  Iwont be satisfied until they give me a full refund for lying to us when we purchased this timeshare, I want out of the contract and no obligation to them anymore,  they will not let me out of my contract and won't give me a full refund I shouldn't have to pay for something I cannot use , if I stop paying them then they will ruin my credit and its not fair they should be held responsible for trapping people , it would be different if you could go on trips each year but you can't and also the high maintenance fees they charge the person who sold this to us that works for them said the fees would never increase and that's also a lie , I have not received any letters or correspondence from this at all , the only time you receive anything from them is when they want money!

  I am writing to formally request the cancellation of my timeshare contract. I believe the contract was obtained through high-pressure sales tactics and misleading information.Initially, I attended a presentation under the guise of receiving a vacation package. This quickly turned into a relentless timeshare sales pitch. Sales representatives were overly persuasive, ignoring my refusals. The promised 30-minute presentation lasted two and a half hours. I was pressured to make an immediate decision, told that discounts and previously paid incentives were only available that day.Personal financial information was exploited to argue for my affordability. The sales team's demeanor shifted from hospitable to coercive, using extended isolation and repeated pressure. I was told annual upgrades were mandatory and that the offered price was a limited-time "anniversary" deal, unique to their company.The contract's details were poorly explained, and I was instructed to provide inaccurate income data. I was moved between locations to complete multiple financial documents and was denied copies. I was told to review the documents at home due to time constraints.Upon review, the contract differed significantly from the verbal promises. I learned of escalating maintenance fees, a lifetime mortgage obligation, and the inability to cancel without full payment, even then maintenance fees would still apply. This has become a financial burden for an unused service. I feel I was deceived and request immediate contract cancellation.

  The consumer was invited to a 90-minute timeshare sales presentation. They were provided with a map, directions, and detailed information regarding participation in the tour and the associated gift. The consumer received the same presentation, documents, and owners book as all new mambers, and signed for them accordingly.
  Unfortunately,their account is currently past due, and they are in collections. If the balance is not paid or settled, the membership is subject to foreclosure.

  I paid $50 dollars to go to a timeshare meeting. Where I was told I would be refunded the $50 once attended. The refund came in a **** gift card that apparently is a complete and utter scam. They hang up when you call advise they will call. Every excuse other than a clear explanation of why the **** gift card doesn't work.

  The $50.00 **** card is not a scam. Each year, we successfully process refunds for over ****** clients. While occasional issues do arise, whether due to the card itself, our processing, or user error, every eligible client has ultimately received their refund.
  In this particular case, the absence of a complete name in the consumers complaint significantly delayed our ability to locate their record. However, we have now processed a refund to the original card used. We sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused.

  On March 2, 2025, we attended a sales presentation with GEVC after being told we had won good seats to a **************** game. Upon arrival, we were not informed that they would pull our credit. We declined their vacation timeshare offer, but when we asked for the original documents where we had written our Social Security Numbers (SSNs), they refused to return them. This felt incredibly shady and unprofessional. They only gave us a copy. That is super shady.Additionally, we were told that *** ********* tickets would be mailed to us the following week. It has now been three weeks, and we have not received anything. GEVCs actions feel dishonest and misleading. Not only did they fail to deliver on their promised incentive, but they also mishandled our sensitive personal information.

  I will not accept this response. I did not receive the tickets promised and they have not contacted me. Also, when I went to the presentation, they refused to give me my paperwork back. When someone doesn't move forward with the process, you need to give original requested docs back. They avoided responding to exactly why they refused to give my docs back. I will not agree until I receive my tickets as promised. Don't forget that you promised "GOOD SEATS".

Regarding his original paperwork, as stated previously, we are neither required to provide it nor do we do so. He authorized us to pull his credit file.

  We attended the Home and Garden Expo show in ******* on February 11, 2025. We won a trip. To receive the trip we had to participate in a 90-minute presentation at their new location ******************************************** and also pay $50 as a deposit that we would attend the presentation, and if we did attend the presentation we would be refunded our $50. We attended the 90-minute presentation. We did not purchase their vacation packet. At checkout, they informed us that the $50 deposit made with our card would not be credited and that the refund would be placed on a gift card. So we left the location with a free complimentary trip, a $50 refund gift card, $50 gift card, and a $100 meal voucher. The 2 gift cards do not work. They are purchased by **** through a 3rd party company and that company is a scam. Nothing but bad reviews. I've called them for the past 2 weeks and have had no luck in getting this issue fixed. the only way that is issue can be resolved is by receiving 2- gift cards from a legitimate company, where the gift cards work, or $100.00 in cash. By **** doing this kind of business makes me not want to do with this company when I am ready to purchase a package.

  I attended a Global Exchange Vacation Club (GEVC) presentation, lured by a free ********* trip that came with upfront costs and limited availability. During the presentation, representatives used high-pressure tactics and made misleading promises. They offered "military" and "one-day" discounts and assured us we could easily book resorts and use *** points for discounts on travel. However, after purchasing, I found better deals elsewhere, and availability was extremely ********** persuade us, they added unlimited weeks and trips to ****** and ****** but failed to clarify the extra costs. The rushed signing process left us unaware of key details, such as the high maintenance fees and the fact that my children could inherit this financial burden. They falsely presented this as a flexible vacation club, omitting other affordable options exclusive to military families.The financial strain has been overwhelming, especially after my income decreased. Despite my attempts to cancel, GEVC refused, citing the expired rescission period and claiming I had full disclosure. They ignored the misleading verbal promises made during the presentation, such as being able to own property in ************* and bring my dog as an emotional support animal without proper certification.GEVC recently referred my account to ******************* which is now demanding over $2,000 to cancel. This is unaffordable and feels like extortion. They had previously offered a settlement payment I couldnt afford, which underscores why *** been trying to cancel this contract.GEVC and Monterey Financials practices are predatory and unfair, trapping families in financial hardship. I am requesting a full cancellation of my timeshare contract without further financial burden. I ask the Better Business Bureau to investigate and hold these companies accountable.

  We sincerely empathize with the customers financial difficulties. However, the Developer is not in a position to waive the outstanding debt. We have communicated the situation in writing on multiple occasions. As a goodwill gesture, the Developer offered to cover the cost of their first vacation. Unfortunately, the customer ceased payments on their obligation in May of last year. They were informed that, as a result, the note would be sent to collections and could ultimately lead to foreclosure.
  GEVC is a California Not-for-Profit **********************. The purchase was made directly from the Developer, and the Club does not have the authority to alter their policies.

  Customer Answer

  To Whom It May Concern,
  
  I strongly disagree with GEVCs response to my BBB complaint and request the immediate cancellation of my timeshare contract without further payments or penalties.
  
  GEVC claims to understand my financial difficulties but refuses to address the core issue: I was misled during the sales process. The promises made at the presentation were false. I was assured that booking resorts would be easy, but availability is almost nonexistent, often requiring extra fees. I was also told *** points would provide great discounts, yet I consistently find better deals elsewhere. They promised free trips to ****** and ****** but failed to disclose the extra costs.
  
  I was also misled about the burden this timeshare would place on my family. I was assured my children wouldnt inherit any financial obligations, yet I later discovered they would be responsible for ongoing maintenance fees unless they sold the timeshare. This contradicts everything I was told.
  
  GEVC highlights that I stopped payments last year. This is true, but I could no longer justify paying for something that has failed to deliver on its promises. The stress and financial burden caused by this timeshare have been overwhelming.
  
  GEVCs goodwill offer to cover one vacation does not resolve the issue. The sales process was based on false promises, and this offer does nothing to address the misleading practices that led me to sign this contract.
  
  Lastly, GEVC claims they lack the authority to cancel my contract, which raises questions about their role in managing memberships. If they cannot assist customers with valid complaints, their involvement is questionable.
  
  I urge GEVC to cancel my contract immediately. This was a decision made under false pretenses, and it has caused financial and emotional hardship. Canceling the contract is the only fair resolution.
  
  Sincerely,
  ***** *******

  We have addressed these concerns, in writing, directly to the consumer.Unfortunately, they do not agree with the facts of the situation. GEVC has nearly ****** members who all received the same presentation. The Developer stands by its representation of the timeshare. The claim that children inherit a financial obligation is inaccurate.

  I was convinced in to joining this money pit in September of 2024 when I attended a free trip presentation my son won at a baseball game. Since then I have paid over $2000 on loan and membership fees including two $400 maintenance fees one for 2024 and one for 2025 and will have to pay another $400 before the end of the year, in addition to the monthly loan payments, its impossible to keep up with or get caught up with this money drain, So far I taken 4 trips since I signed up for this membership and not one trip was booked through any of GEVCS 4 or 5 websites, which are extremely confusing and time consuming and then to find out is less expensive to book the trip on your own. The Hotels are 3rd world class and not available. I paid for two years of membership maintenance fees but only have ***** points available which it should be *****, ***** for each year! If you try to book a timeshare location where you can use your points you can only stay 7 days and my vacation was for 10 days so nope, couldnt use it! At the presentation they never said anything about having to use the points on a specific company owned timeshare unit, they promised world wide 5 stars hotels and resorts but the only place you can use the points is at a timeshare resort. However you need lots of points.I dont understand why this company still operating as a business after the many coustomer complaints filed, all of which report the same wrong business practices. If nothing can be done about my situation, I would urge you to please review this business practices to stop this company from continuing to operate, on behalf of new and future consumers.

  We sincerely apologize for any frustration this member has experienced. At the time of sale, we provide an owner's book and send out a quick start guide upon closing of escrow to ensure a smooth transition. We want to highlight that our *************** phone number is listed on every page, and we encourage members to reach out if they have any questions or concerns; however, we have not received any inquiries from this member regarding issues.
  Regarding Maintenance Fees, these are billed 45 days after the close of escrow, and ****** points are deposited into the member's account. Points are issued annually on the anniversary of the purchase, with Maintenance Fees billed in advance. In this case, the member was billed in September 2024 for points received in August 2024, and in December,all GEVC members were billed for their 2025 points, which theirs will be deposited in August 2025. Similarly, they will receive a bill in December 2025 for their 2026 points.
  We value feedback and will reach out to this member in writing to address their concerns directly.

  I completely disagree with GEVC response to my complaint, is slightly different from every complaint response I read, same verbiage different customer. 
  At no time in the presentation was I advised that once I signed the  agreement I would not be able to cancel it, to the contrary In a very smooth and sneaky way I was advised and encourage to include any family members that I wanted to use this vacation plan. However nothing was said about family member inheriting the costs if I stop making payments. For what I understand my two sons who have no idea that I purchase this scam from GEVC will be liable for this scam costs. 
  This Vacation Club is a complete missed representation the world wide 5 star Hotels and Resorts they promise are not even rated 3 stars places. The 60% discount they promise in any world wide luxury hotel still comes out higher than if you booked thought another vacation website which has better accommodations and far more availability. In the past 6 months since I purchase this plan, I have travel in state and out of the country twice, and those ********************* less than the $3,000 I paid so far to GEVC for ****** points that are not enough to book one of my vacations not at list for another 2 years and at a resort that is not one I would normally choose. 
  I am not asking to be reimbursed for any amount I have paid up to now. Based on the false promises and missed leading information  provided at that presentation, I would like to have this membership canceled and free me for this financial responsibility.

  I became a member of GEVC 11/24/23 and it has been a nightmare ever since I have signed up. I was offered several free trips that end up costing me money $75 to $199 to active the free trip offered. I was provided 2023 points and was never told I have to pay the 2023 maintenance fees for a membership I had less than 30 days. It took me a few months but I ended up paying over $600 for 2023 and 2024 fees in order to use the timeshare I am being charged for monthly. Today I log into to *** to book a trip for my daughter and I birthday coming in a few months and I was locked out. I called and was told the account closed 12/13/24 to call GEVC. I call GEVC and was told my ****** that the account is on hold until the maintenance fees are paid. I currently have a payment arrangement in place due to an unexpected surgery last year that has me behind on that bill but current on my timeshare. However, I can't use my ****** points until it is paid in full which ruins birthday plans for March and I was met with an oh well pay your bills. This timeshare is starting to be a waste of money and not the dream I was sold.

  I was told we could cancel anytime if we contacted the account administrator. We contacted them and they said we cannot cancel. They said they're not a timeshare, but they lied.

  This member is mistaken, he was not told he could cancel at any time. He was not told this is not a timeshare, there are six (6) slides in the podium presentation that everyone sees that says we are a timeshare. The contract he signed explicitly says it is a timeshare. The buyers acknowledgment that he signed and initialed and was recorded says it is a timeshare. Unfortunately,failure to keep his financial obligation will result in foreclosure of his timeshare.
