After receiving the notice for a free round trip plane ticket for two to anywhere in the U.S and a free set of luggage to attend their presentation, my wife and I attended their presentation in Citrus Heights. The presentation was mainly the presenter flashing different vacation packages on a screen and showing how much you could save but with few details. We were told we could receive these discounts if we joined their company as ""travel agents"" for a small fee of around $6000.00. I was a bit shocked by this price but even more shocked by their high pressure tactics of ""this offer is for today only"" and ""what if we remove some of the benefits and then you only pay $4000.00"". I'm sorry but I don't drop $6000.00 or $4000.00 without a little research so I passed on the deal. \r

The luggage set turned out to be a very, very cheap set of thin fabric bags with no support structure. They would offer almost no protection to whatever was put in them and I certainly would not trust them to survive airline baggage handlers.\r

The two free airline tickets turned out to be anything but free. First there was more than a page of fine print of the terms and conditions to read through. Then you have to send in a $100.00 money order via certified mail just to start the process and are told you have to pick 3 dates at least 30 days apart. Once you send in the money order then they tell you that you must also pick three destinations and now it's going to cost AT LEAST $90 to $189 per person which in my mind I translate to at least $189 per person. This does not include taxes and ticketing fees which can quickly add up. I'm thinking ""so much for the free tickets"" so I decided to cut my losses before it's too late and have applied for a full refund within the 30 days as stated in the terms and conditions. We'll see how that goes. \r

Anyway, judging by my experience with the luggage and the ""free"" airline tickets, I'm very happy I did not join their company.
