Omi Group And Holiday Schemes In General

We've had a note from the company OMI about what it argues are potentially libellous comments about it on here. Those posts have therefore been deleted.

I would also ask that no further discussions on this company take place. Please report any to the abuse controller.

I have not checked this company out and have no knowledge of its practices - and therefore am not in a position either to vouch for it, or to back up the criticisms.

Some General Tips On Holiday Home Organisations and Sales Meetings

However, do let me take the opportunity to make some general points on all holiday type schemes where you are invited to meetings.




Holiday clubs are almost invariably not MoneySaving. Their aim is to get long term cash from people. Often these companies work by pressure sales, inviting people to meetings and attempting to sign them up.

Worse still, they often use these meetings to recruit people to sell the product in a network marketing type scheme. In other words they get people to try and flog the idea to others working on commission. This means the 'testimonials' for these things are often flawed and biased and should be taken with a rock of salt.

Rarely have any of these companies actually provided a good deal for any consumer. As a general point I would completely avoid attending such meetings. Never part with your money. In my view you're almost invariably better off going for a normal holiday.
