Ok, so it's legit but it is one of those "direct buy" situations that ask you to join at an exorbitant rate to cash in on their discounts. If you take a lot of vacations or have a major reno to do, it will be worth it but if you don't.... They also can give you a great rate on mortgages but you can't take advantage of it unless you sign up on the spot. The prize is yours either way and if you choose to sit through the presentation only, without getting quotes, you still get the prize.

I got a call to day by this company.

They encouraged me to come with a partner/boyfriend/common-law in order to qualify for any possible prizes and that he would have to claim to live with me.  Hmmm ....?

They would not give me the gift confirmation number until I call back to confirm that I had some one and what time i could visit.


Althought some posters have said that this is legitimate it seems like a scam to me.

I will be watching this forum for more information.

I just got off the phone with them and I am going ther tomorrow with my wife and see what it is.  i first spoke with Jeff who passed me to his manager Alex. One thing is that they could not tell me where I filled the ballot (one thing for sure not me) may my wife. I will psot tomorrow to give you an update. I googled their name but it came back empty, I asked Alex about their website he gave some bogus answer.

so, we get several calls a day from this number... funny thing is our number is a brand new land line(new for us)  So, my spouse who has worked in tele-sales is not only annoyed but decieds to play back to them.   This company is a scam targeting people who dont know any better.  After being transfered to several "managers" we were assured we wont be called any longer... but they had no reference to which number (we called them back from a cell)
I would recommend anyone who recieves calls from this number to ask to be removed from their call list.

Heh...Mark Simmons.You just called our house a few minutes ago from this Premium Buyers club and gave us the spiel.  When we asked your name, you said it was "Mark Simmons".  Such an obviously phony name from someone obviously South Asian.  Get real.

Why this is a scam:

1) although they say you get one of 5 prizes, the only prize they actually have is the 2 days getaway in a few places in the states and Canada. Interesting enough, we knew someone who had won this "prize" with the same prize company and they ended up never going because apparently, they never had any spaces. Moreover, you have to pay 50 USD in advance and oh, right, that money was never given back

2) they get you there with a prize for a ballot you didn't enter. The guy on the phone actually said that we entered it from dec 17 - 31 last year in one of 75 malls. What he didn't know was that in that period, we were not even in north america.

3) when you go, you learn quickly it has nothing to do with winning a prize, it is about you paying a lot of money for some club that provide you apparent financial benefits, but the paper they want you to sign only states you membership of the club, not the actual services provided

4) they want you to pay *the night you are there*. (lots of money btw, initially about 10000, when you kept saying no, it went down to 3000) When I told them, I'll think about it, go home and do some research, they were not interested anymore. In other words, they probably don't really offer anything as long as they get your money.

5) aggressive sales people, wow. No kidding. Slick like hell, like trying to be your friend and all that

I recommend anyone who actually went to the place to keep an eye on credit ratings. This is a primary scheme for identity theft
