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.

This suitelife vacation is a scammer! Don't ever ever believe to those people! My boyfriend and I went to that seminar and they said I won this blah! Blah! And it turn out that they will gonna sale you the same as time share, we bought the package and it's not even worth it! They just only want your money.. We thought if we buy the package that should be it but no, we didn't even finish paying that f****n package for 8000 and now they sent us again an email an they want us to pay for the annual  fee for almost 200 that is f*cklin b***s***! We are so ignorant that we didn't know about this f****n scammers because no body told us. They was very very pursuant when we was their and they are good in sweet talking... So guys be careful with those people who are calling you and telling you that you won this price.... Just a piece of advice and that is base from our experience... My those people who do this kind of trick to other people will get karma in their life...

How amazing is it that I got a call a couple of months ago from this company saying that I had won a trip from a ballot I had filled out somewhere.  I was sure I had not filled out any ballot so I refused the call.  BUT about 6 weeks later I got the call that I had won again!!  Can you believe it? I have never been so lucky!!!!   I was curious though and decided this time to go to the "presentation" just to see what kind of a scam this might be.  Also just for going to the "presentation"  we were promised a "FREE" trip that we could choose from their options - with the understanding that we would provide our own transportation and have to pay the taxes - up to a maximum of $75 dollars we were told.   After sitting through the "talk"  and all the pressure from the agent assigned to us we declined the offer to buy a membership even though during the pressure talk  the price had dropped from $11 500 for a 30 year membership down to $6500 for a 30 yr membership!!  When we came home with the voucher for our "free" trip we read the fine print.  That's where we discovered there was a small charge to register for the voucher PLUS a charge of $199 per person for the week.  I certainly don't call that winning a "Free Trip" as we had been told by "Bob" on the phone!  And it left me with the feeling of "what else don't I know?"

Oh and I tried the BBB. Due to their airtight legal contracts they won't go after them!!!

Looks like they changed numbers again, I got a call from 716-406-8687 to advise me I got a free trip and then the manager called me from 716-332-6622.  They asked me to come to the Woodbridge office to claim my prize and the manager was excited to meet me.  Well why would the manager be calling me from a New York area code and be excited to meet me in Woodbridge.  I was researching the scam on the internet as he was talking to me and kept telling him to just send me the voucher or shove the voucher, one or the other. Needless to say he did not send me the voucher hope he enjoyed the other option.

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.

When I was engaged (18 years ago) my fiance and I went to a presentation by GEO Holidays. Same concept. And we intended to travel a lot and did over the course of our marriage. They are still in business. Called the ex just now and he still uses it ( he pays the concierge fees and booking fees). We were always pleased with GEO. And they came through for us in an emergency medical situation while vacationing in Aruba which necessitated us buying an additional week in Aruba. It cost us $250 US for a 2 bedroom deluxe condo on the ocean. We skied numerous times in Colorado and Utah and traveled to Disneyland, Mexico, California, France, Austria, Las Vegas and always arranged accommodation through them. I don't know why they present it the way they do in Canada. It does have "SCAM" written all over it and btw we never did take that stupid free holiday. But we did buy the membership. We had the money and inclination to travel multiple times over the course of each year. If you want to travel more than once a year and you think you'll get your moneys worth check out GEO Holidays on the internet. They have a legit product. No, I do not work for them. No, I do not have an Indian accent. No, I would not sign up at this point in my life because I don't have the money to travel. Yes, if you want to contact me to verify my statements, state it in your addition to this blog.   Yes, I have a local number.
