I just went to a presentation in Branson, MO on this vacation club. Does anybody know anything about it?
It has nothing to do with a week anywhere.
What I bought is access to travel discounts on cruises, airlines, rental cars, red weeks anywhere w/o going thru rci or ii. I do have to pay for the week, but there is no annual maintenance fee. They profess to have GREAT rates, as much as 70% off retail prices.
I do plan on rescinding unless I find out it is a good thing to own. I wanted to find out what others have experienced with this "club". I did receive some nice show tickets for attending the seminar (13 of us staying at the Wilderness club at Big Cedar)
I attended the Roark Vacation Club presentation over the weekend and decided to purchase with them. After returning to my resort I noticed a gift basket sitting on the kitchen counter...it was from Roark Vacation Club welcoming me as a new member. At the same moment something told me to get on the web and do some research and I'm so glad I did! I have read so many negative reviews and reviews about missing paper work. I looked over my paper work and noticed that the papers I had made notes on that they promised and I had them initial to cover all bases was missing! I decided to rescind my contract with them. Needless to say I went this morning and boy was I treated very rude, unprofessional, and cold! Lindell is the same person I dealt with and he smuggly told me I was lying and that all the paperwork was included in my documents and that he knew nothing of the paper I was speaking of. So he pretty much sat there and lied straight to my face. He was so rude and then another man came in since we were rather loud and immediately sided with Lindell...go figure. They did not want to sign my letter to rescind the contract or give me any type of statement saying I was rescinding my contract. I left very upset and boiling hot and on my way out Lindell gave me the finger. I politely told everyone in the lobby that Roark Vacations was a scam and very unprofessional! Oh and I'm a timeshare owner, they also tried to get me to give them the deed to my timeshare to bring the cost down even more it started at 15, 900 and they were going to give me 13, 000 for my timeshare and since I was a single parent they knocked off another 400 which would have brought my total to $2, 500. I'm just so thankful I realized the stupid mistake I was about to make before it was too late. Hope this helps someone not make a terrible mistake and get scammed by Roark Vacation Club in Branson Missouri.
