I have been a member for a couple of years, and although I have had no problems dealing with them in the past, the time has arrived. If you are a member, you received an email the other day regarding "special assessment fees". Well, this money hungry company makes bad business decisions and expects us to pay for it?? A supplier that they dealt with, Dream Travels, has gone bankrupt and because of this, Suitelife is asking all its members to pay $399USD by March 30. Supposedly to help with recuperating costs they had to dish out to help out those who booked accommodations with this supplier. I have been sending demanding emails why they expect us to pay this in less then 30 days, when its their fault they don't carry insurance. "Too costly" was the answer on that question. They REFUSE to show their books to their members as to HOW they came up with this amount. I have been fighting with them for the last couple of days, and they refuse. I'd like to get members together and fight this, and after giving them a couple more days, I will be filing a complaint with the BBB (even tho they are not accredited). I will also be going to the media if they don't show the books. We have a right to know where this $399 amount came from. Oh and get this, if you are travelling BEFORE March 30, you have to pay the amount BEFORE you travel....why???
Something is fishy here, and i even accused them of being involved with the bankruptcy of Tonya (Dream Travels). I will see if something evolves with that. Does anyone know of any shows like "Silverman Helps"? Too bad he is gone! But they will be sorry when this goes public.

Thank you, everyone, for the info.  I got a call tonight.  I never filled out any ballot.  Wasn't even here when "Roger" said the ballot was filled out.  We were about to attend the "orientation" tomorrow.  Will not be doing so, thanks to all the comments here.  I phoned to cancel.  Daniel (the manager,with whom I also spoke at length) was not happy and tried to convince me to attend.  I had to hang up on him.  What an enormous waste of time!  But better than the further waste of time had we attended tomorrow.  I now also recall that I got a call during the last couple of years from another "company" , probably the same one under a former name.  We did not accept their prize either.  It's unfortunate that they get our contact info somehow, but there is not an easy way to block them.

There are at least another 10 other pages on the web commenting on this particular scam, apparently they have other names and different phone numbers, button line is if you win something, if you win a prize it should never be attached to anything like a presentation, that's your red flag right there, anther red flag is that they claim you filled out a ballot years ago, seriously, these people are shady and buy and sell peoples information, i get at least one call every week, funny thing is the people that call have very heavy accents, they are probably calling from India or some other place who knows,

I have worked for this company for a short time it is in fact a timeshare selling dinner that you attend when you agree to come pick up the prize you win, what people don't know is that every single ballot is called, is a winner providing you meet the qualifications they stipulate, the people calling you are not from Canada they contract a telemarketing office somewhere overseas to make the calls for them  we are told that they really do give the vacation but I never heard of anyone going for it because you have to pay fees and taxes that ends up not work the actual stay in Niagara fall  and they only have Niagara falls giveaways, no other places they say they have Vegas and such but that's not true.  The people selling put allot of pressure because they get paid on commission, and very high commission, so I think that the methods used are not honest but the product is real the time share exists, remember if you are interested in the timeshare, keep saying NO until the end, they will lower the price to the minimum at the end.    

It's totally Rong

Received call from same outfit two weeks ago. Went last Saturday to attend 90 minute spiel on vacation deal.  Declined the package and asked about my free gift, a trip for 3 days to Niagara Falls.  Just returned from there.  It cost me $29.99 for the stay plus 20.00 parking for two nights.  Great hotel (Fallview) and even received atwo $50.00 dinner vouchers fro TGIF.  We had a great time and would probably attend again if invited.  We also have a FREE trip to Florida for a week or 3 days in Vegas, good for 24 months.  We;ll see if that works out too.  I;m surprised there are so many complaints about this company, yet none of the complainers actually seem to have attended.  We thought "what do we have to lose?" 90 minutes? big deal
