We bought a "promotional package deal" that would have "introduce" to "try" their service and resorts in 2008 and is good to be used for "six years." It included going to Florida, cruise to Mexico and one Caribbean island. We booked and used the Florida vacation but for the past year, I am trying to get in contact with this company to book the other vacations but there is no way to get in contact with them.
Consumer Complaints & Reviews
After attending the January 2010 Rocky Mountain Bridal Show, I was contacted by American Prestige and was told that I had "won" a free trip to the Caribbean, and all we had to do was go to a 90 minute presentation on waterless cookware. Obviously it's, at best, a high-pressured sales pitch with strings attached, and at worse, a scam for low-income folks with little financial literacy. We do not plan to go.
For those of you out there contemplating purchasing such goods for purported health benefits, there is no credible research out there that your pans are going to harm you. If you are concerned, stainless steel, enameled iron, and copper options exist that are cheaper than this. Further, nobody should be in debt over pots and pans, regardless of how good the sales pitch is or the interest rate they tell you. I have little sympathy for people who signed up for a repayment plan they couldn't afford for pots unless they were truly lied to, or were given information in a language they didn't speak.
In that case, contact a lawyer. Many will do pro bono work. If you can't pay for it with cash, don't buy it. Further, if you can't say no to an intense sales pitch, do not attend a sales seminar! Stress from collection calls are more likely to kill you than some decent stainless steel pans from your nearest kitchen store. Nothing in life is free except for this advice: a fool and his money are easily parted.
My father bought five vacatio packages in May 08. He used two and now that I have contacted them to use the other three the company does not answer the phone messages nor the emails I have sent. I even sent a letter to the above mentioned address which was returned to me. They are nowhere to be found and they owe us three vacation packages. Please help! Do you know if they still exist? About three hundred dollars (total was $500+ but two vacation packages were used).
