Beware L.C.I Travel - Free Holiday

Posts: 234 Forumite
Had a phone call out of the blue about a Holiday I had Won! All I had to do was pay an administration fee of £34 and collect the tickets.
Yeah Right.
I asked if it was "Timeshare", no the reply came.
I declined to make an appointment and waited for the written confirmation to arrive.
These people sell "Holiday Ownership" points, just like Timeshare with a different name. To get your free Holiday you need to attend a high pressure sales presentation about Club Sunterrra aka GVC.
According to people posting on Holiday Review site DooYoo avoid like the plague.

Every one should apply a "reality" check to these kind of offers.
Ask yourself "Is it very likely that a company will want to give me a free holiday with NO strings attached".
Answer - "Almost certainly not".
It really is pretty obvious if you start asking the right questions.
Unfortunately the old adages are true.
There's no such thing as a free lunch and if it sounds too good to be true - it probably is.0 -
CLUB ACCESS On holiday this week was accosted by this young guy saying I had won a holiday - there followed a presentation of a similar sort declaring holidays would be a small amount of money plus one free week a year for 30 years, except I would have to invest £2,400 inititally. I would have to make up my mind there and then otherwise no offer. I declined and was allowed to take my free holiday. This is based similarly to the offer. There is a charge of £35 initially with a choice of 5 counties. Does anyone know of SUNSHINE HORIZONS or used them? :-/0
