My impression is that this business is just full of scam-artists. The decend thing for QVC to do, would be to offer to take back one’s points, even if it is at a reduced price. However, they are a bunch of scum-bags who balance on the sharp edge of decency vs rip-off.

If you really want affordable holidays at reasonable prices without being tied into unreasonable and escalating contracts, you might as well become a member of organisations like WTI or DAE; the membership is either very small or free and choices of resorts and times extremely wide.

We will never be sorry that we bought units.

At the time I was still very young and was very interested in the idea, so I made the decision to sign up for what I believed at the time to be very lucrative only to learn later on how binding the contract would be, never the less you aren’t given the opportunity to think it out as it’s a “once in a lifetime” opportunity. So you then proceed signing a contract, which is done in an environment that no sane person would be able think it out since you are continually bombarded to hurry up. That said and done the contract was signed and sealed and they managed to talk me into management fees and levies because I was unable to pay a deposit and at the time you do not realize the implications due to the rushed environment.

The time came for my first payment to be made and I realized about the levies and management fees that were to be included into the payments, there is not much emphasis paid to these while signing the contract, and the biggest problem is that it can escalate at QVC’s discretion. More emphasis is paid to the amount payable for the points. I have now been a member of QVC for 6 years and the annual increase are not pretty.

So what is QVC’s solution to getting “out”? You need to go to one of the resale agents that will market your points after paying a marketing fee. The fee is reasonable; although the only guarantee is that the resale agent is one of the best in the market at reselling the points, although I would imagine that many people like me are in the situation that they are willing to give their points away at a loss. There are many laying around on systems globally that no one is will to take over, so the final outcome is that you will still be stuck with your points.

I have done the whole Google thing to discover more people like myself who are sitting with Vacation points regardless of whether it be QVC or one of the others, although I have not discovered many as yet that can offer a solution to getting “out” of their contracts, so I appeal to any person/s that have fallen into the same “trap” that I have and even lawyers/advocates that are willing to make their comments.

I am sure there are many people out there that would wish to get out of their “soul damning” contract as I do. So let your voices be heard and let us together find the solution, life is never without hope.
