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.

Hey Mr. Cap, funny thing is from all the hundreds of postings from all over the internet you are the only one who actually got the a prize, tell me please have you used it yet? What did it cost you? If you say nothing you are lying because I also have been to the meeting and know all about the "prizes" Just don't forget to update us with a post when you get to use your membership, funny  thing is "mickey mouse is not one of the destinations for this particular vacation club,I have just been to the meeting this last November and asked because I was taking my kids to Florida this year, maybe you are very special and got an exclusive membership eh, how lucky for you, by the way how much did your membership cost and for how many years did you sign for? I hope you got a good deal considering all the people trying to get rid of their membership, you could have gotten a bargain buying from some of the desperate and regretful buyers out there.

Pam - thanks for this! We just got the same call today with the same address at 690 Rowntree in Woodbridge, & I got all excited about it because we were going to use this trip for our honeymoon. Instead, after we got the call, my fiance looked up Suitelife and saw all of the complaints here (especially from you, who actually went to the "dinner", etc.) and we were immediately turned off by it being a sales-pitch grab at the end of the day. Also, they sent me an email with the "list of destinations" that we could choose from  and the "confirmation letter' to show us they were legit - the attachments don't open. When you double-click on the attachment, it takes you back to your inbox - tried it a couple of times and I'm not !Why should it take 90 min. to claim a prize? Why do they want to keep you for dinner? Why do they ask you if you make over 70K? So that you can afford the "membership" that they're offering you, that's why.  Glad I didn't go to this thing.  I might call Mariott & complain - or at least tell them that this company is making people very angry out in the world and using Mariott's name to do it...!

Don't worry they all getting what they deserve soon, jail time

Exactly! Their contracts are air tight and we are at their fee in mcrease mercy. Not happy.

I just got a call similar to the above from 011 7 (164) 162-89-6.  That I filled a ballot out around Easter at the mall to win a vacation.  I had won either anywhere in the states including Mexico (which isn't part of the states) and Hawaii or a trip to Vegas at a Hilton hotel.  I could hardly understand him and made him spell the name of where he was calling.  I barely got Suite and then googled it.  My phone disconnected on my end for the best.  He was trying to convince me I had filled out a ballot which I couldn't remember.  His accent was very thick.  Anyway.  Be carefull

Go f*** yourself you f****ng corporate reach around sucking f*** head
