WHEN YOU SIGN UP YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU CAN REALLY GET A LOT OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP SINCE THEY WILL GIVE A LOT OF FALSE PROMISES!!!! LIKE A COMPLIMENTARY CRUISE WHICH WOULD ONLY GIVE THOSE CHEAP OPTION CRUISE AND NOT EVEN WORTH THE MONEY YOU PAY FOR IT.

THE 7 DAY STAY IN RESORT, STILL NOT EVEN WORTH IT FOR THE 2500.00 YOU PAID FOR BEING THE DIRECT BUY TRAVEL....THE RESORTS THEY HAVE ARE ALL CHEAP RESORTS TO STAY......YOU EVEN PAYING MORE THAN BOOKING DIRECTLY TO THE RESORT. I AM VERY PISSED! DISAPPOINTED! AND FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!

NOT BE A MEMBER! THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely agree this “service” is a scam. I was taken for over $2,000 and have nothing to show for it.

Apparently, the pandemic didn’t make a difference with this greedy company as the points expired and customer service says they can’t do anything to reinstate them! By the way, today is Monday and the points expired on Friday…three days ago!

Not only do they take your money, they waste your time on hold. We booked a three family vacation and it was nothing like we booked.

They scammed us out of our money and our time. They allude to being an exclusive membership it is just a scam.

We have travelled extensively and this was recommended to us. It was the worst decision we even made.

Guest

I couldn't agree more. They have a high pressure sales techniques.

They called me at least 20 times to buy the membership. I canceled my membership in the 10 day rescission period. It took 5 phone calls, over 35 minutes on hold, and talking directly with "Customer Service" to get my refund. This is the most frustrating process.

Prior to canceling I checked out their website and the deals were not there. They didn't have the type of hotels/resorts we are looking for. Dates for using the free Mexico trip were limited and time sensitive. Totally unacceptable.

I've been a Direct Buy member for more than 17 years. I can't believe Direct Buy is affiliated with this Travel Company.

Guest

DirectBuy was a scam and this offshoot is a scam as well

Guest

You sure open my eyes about the travel .

Guest

We are living a similar experience. I cannot believe that DirectBuy would scam their own members but they do. Stay away and tell anyone who is considering this insane club to stay away!

Guest

all of the folks that bought into this scam need to come together and file a lawsuit against this company. They were selective of their members.

They told me that to join was several hundred a month for dues. Nope. To save $$$ I am not going to pay outrageous dues.Lots of people have lost a ton of money. Some of the company still seems to be open.

Time to nail them while they are still around.

I would recommend a local attorney in Houston- Anthony Buzbee. He will get some money out of them for you.

I would certainly join a Class Action Lawsuit. Directbuy prices are more than others online and they cater to locations which are horrible.

I would also joint!!!!

Guest

I agree- nothing really free! On top of that, they’ve booked 2 cruises for us and after you book with direct buy travel you don’t hear from them again.

Friends of ours heard from their travel agents a few times before the cruise- to arrange tables and then ensure set sail passes were printed. Once they had my money I didn’t hear from them again

Direct buy is a great deal- direct buy travel not do much

Guest

There isn't anything free about the "complimentary free cruise". The fees that are not included cost nearly as much as a cruise booked through an on line service.

The choice of free resorts are limited, and involve additional fees as well. I stayed in Cabo.

Nice resort but it was a time share resort where you were constantly aproched to buy in. If your retired with deep pockets and can go on a wim this could work you but for the average joe...not impressed.

Guest

I have also really enjoyed my membership - i got the whole value of my membership back in the first booking!!! great product

Guest

I signed up and I got my 2 free weeks at a resort (traded my cruise week in). Totally worth it.

My husband and I took 4 of my kids and a friend to Orlando. I got to pick from a list of where to stay. The 2 weeks for 7 people. The resorts were nice.

The amenities were great. Parking was free. Plus, I signed up for the travel club so I could bank points for a viking cruise in 2018.

I am super happy with the whole thing.

Hi. I am looking into joining but havent made the move yet.

These 2 weeks that you used, was there a limit of people you could take? There is going to be 10 in our group and we are looking at going to disneyland in california and San Diego.
