Global Exchange Vacation Club Reviews

My experience was horrible. It's one of the worst financial decisions I have ever made. I signed up many years ago, tried booking vacations, but in addition to using my "points" that I paid for annually, they wanted additional money to the vacation. Didn't make sense to me! After many years of monthly payments, I have "paid off the loan" but the annual maintenance fees continue. When asked about not wanting to pay any longer, I was told I had option of Surrender of Membership. Which requires 2 years of fees paid up front, before I could even receive the Surrender of Membership paperwork, so I don't even really know what I am signing or paying for. And on top of that there would be a Closing Escrow fee of $299.00

This was the worse decision me and my partner could have made. This company is deceptive and unresponsive. I am filing complaints with every platform I can find so people can know the truth. Please save your money and just book the trips yourself!! We were tricked into buying this foolishness that is nothing like the presentations or what was told to us. They have misrepresented the product in a gross manner and should refund anyone requesting cancellation!

Total scam. You pay your fees and buy in, are given a member number to log into the member's only site, but clicking on Sign In takes you to a screen to call for Help. When you call that number, you are taken to an automated system to book cruises, flights, or hotels. There's no other option and there are no other numbers to call for help to access your member account.

Global Exchange Vacation Club (GEVC) is one of the biggest scams I have ever encountered. Their entire operation is built on deceptive sales practices, high-pressure tactics, and false promises. The presentation I attended in September 2022 lasted far longer than advertised, and the only reason I even went was because they baited me with a “free vacation.” That trip turned out to be impossible to use—full of restrictions, blackout dates, hidden fees, and hoops to jump through. The same goes for the so-called “free all-inclusive bonus vacations” you receive after signing up. None of them were legitimate or usable.

Avoid this scam like the plague. They purposely make it nearly impossible to reach anyone to cancel. We tried to contact them multiple times over several months, by both phone and email, to cancel the contract and never got a single response. Now they have sent us to collections. We will not pay this fraudulent company a single penny.

My experience with this timeshare has been far from ideal. Despite owning it, I’ve never been able to make use of it and now want to cancel my membership. Unfortunately, my attempts to do so have been met with resistance at every turn. I’ve even reached out to other entities, but the timeshare remains unresponsive. It’s clear their priority lies in profit rather than ensuring their members are valued and supported. I believe it’s entirely reasonable for members to part ways when the service fails to meet expectations—especially in cases like mine, where I haven’t even managed to book a trip. For anyone considering purchasing a timeshare, I strongly urge you to do thorough research and be cautious. Don’t be swayed by the lofty promises they make.

I was approached at a wedding show in 2023 - went to the presentation for the "free" Disney/Universal trip. They preyed on our honeymoon plans - persuading us that we could get a free week AND cruise for the price of what we "would" spend on a honeymoon, plus years more of travel. 2 years in and we haven't been able to use it - and have to pay $75 to activate or extend the "free" week vacation. NO HONEYMOON and no vacation 2 years later- just major financial regret. The websites (RCI and GEVC) are extremely hard to navigate. The alleged resorts look gross too - with the 299 weekly fee for the week surely is similar to the same price I could find something on any travel website. DON'T DO IT. Shame on this company any their employees for their predatory scams.

SCAM SCAM SCAM! Please don’t sign up for this. All they do is take your money and offer none of the benefits from their presentation. Getting out is impossible and it will affect your credit. Not worth your time or money.

They sent us an invitation to attend a 90-minute presentation (which took 2.5 hours). The card they sent us said: "In exchange for your time and opinion, you will receive a complimentary 3, 5, or 7 night cruise for two adults aboard your choice of major cruise line, including complimentary airfare." According to Webster's dictionary, complimentary means Free of charge. Anyway, to activate the vouchers, we had to pay $290, and it was mandatory to pay by personal check. When the vouchers came, they asked for much more money. How do we get a refund?

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS PLEASEEEEE!!! Don't fall for it because it's all a SCAM. You go for the presentation, the sales team sweet-talk you into this deadly trap, they tell you all this nice things and even show you pictures of beautiful resorts and all, but they leave out the important details. They don't mention that you have 7days recession period, it's not even stated on any of the documents given to you after signing up. They don't tell you that you can't get out of the membership. And then you're stuck with the huge loan they've lured you into signing up for. It's so deceptive. Notice that after the presentation, when you ask them if you can go home to think about it and then come back later when you're convinced, they pressure you into believing that once you step out of that door without signing up same day, you have missed the best deal ever, they tell you that when come back another time you would have to pay the full amount.
