    I had a look at their website ... if you haven't 'won' a free membership, you are paying £3300 for a one week of accomodation? Seems like the biggest rip-off I've ever seen!

    It came as a signed for letter, so I thought it must be pretty genuine.
    If so many people have won these, I'm a little worried that only one person has come back with any positive comment.
    It's horrible being so scepticle but I just can't help it.
    I've learnt so often that you don't get something for nothing, unless of course you've genuinely won a prize. If I have genuinely won a prize, how come I don't get any enjoyment out of it without paying money.
    I haven't phoned them yet, but it is freephone so I probably will, but these posts have made me dubious now.

  • JUST WON MY HOLIDAY doh! well thought i had through myoffers prize draw turns out to be free timeshare membership. ITS SUCH A CON PAY FOR THIS AND PAY FOR THAT. whats the point of the membership if it costs the same as booking a holiday through a travel agents and without the management fees.
    google crimeshare and read all about WASTE OF MONEY TIMESHARES
    :beer:
  • I have just rec the same, a letter to be signed for and an 0800 number, very rare for a scam, i have to say that £322 for 1 week in a year for 4 people is not a bad price BUT you are limited in the first year to the UK & Europe so this makes your 2nd week in the 2nd year to 70+ other locations rather costly, who would pay for 2 weeks away for £644 1 week in UK and 1 week elsewhere ???
    and flights, which are the most expensive part of any holiday.


    If you could sell it off to 4 people or 3 including yourself it may be worthwhile but who would do that to there nearest and dearest?
  • I have rung the freephone number and am very happy with what I will be getting. All i will say is go for it :j
  • I too have received a letter by recorded delivery telling me that I have won a prize worth 2950.00. I rang the freephone no and was told I'd won a week anywhere in the uk or Europe BUT had to pay a 'maintenance' charge of 161.00 (322.00 after year 1) per year. I am actually quite disappointed and I think that its a pretty similar sales technique that timeshare companies use when they say you've won a holiday in spain or wherever. I have declined the 'prize' and certainly won't enter any of their comps again. You should not end up paying anything if you are a 'winner' surely?

    But how can you (not you personally, but people in general) say you have won a prize, yet have to stump up a hefty maintenance/service charge for it.

    Bad lot ClubSeasons :mad:

    I assume this is for off peak... resorts are often quiet, so they would be happy to use space at £300
