Global Vacation Network Reviews

I was told with a 2000$ upgrade I would have so much more for the Caribbean options I go every year. For the last seven months I have been checking every day trying to book something by the end of the year. This might be the first year we don’t go which is super disappointing after spending that much money being told I would have so many choices :(. There are less options than I had before the upgrade and it’s very disappointing. Also was told if we can’t find something that they would look into other timeshare companies and get us what we’re looking for. After calling and asking if we could do that I was told it’s almost damn near impossible to do. I went on RCI site and so many places to stay in Saint Maarten! I has never been so disappointed with Global Connections.

We joined in February 2014. We have never used the program but not because we didn't like it but didn't take the time. I found out late they charged us the membership fee on our anniversary date each year even though we didn't use it (that was the deal, don't use it don't get charged). I talked with a gentleman and he offered me 3 options to receive the $1600+interest overcharge. This was August of 2018.

I’ve been reading these reviews and can totally stand by what they are saying. We got sucked into a presentation by winning a raffle prize. 3 day vacation. We wound up in the high pressure sales presentation. We kept refusing to buy in. Finally they came back with a “sold back” package. 2 stars, 4 stars for expressways. $2000 buy in which I thought was pretty good compared to what others paid. Our first trip was a resort in San Diego. $189 for the week once we paid the yearly fee and used both stars. Vacation was fantastic!!! I checked what it would have cost had we booked directly with the resort. It would have exceeded 2K for 7 days. So we basically got our money back in the first trip.

My husband and I have been Global Discovery Vacations members since 2014 and we're really happy with our purchase in the beginning. Over the years the amount of properties available for booking kept declining to a point where there are only 2 destinations in the summer on their website - Arizona desert and California desert. Last year, while vacationing, we were invited to attend a "meeting" which turned out to be a sales presentation where we were offered an upgrade for several thousand dollars which would have given us access to more properties, and would have increased our star credits.

The lady Cassidy was very nice however they are promising customers things that they are not giving. They really need to not try to sell a 7000 package in 1 hour. That is not enough time for me to make a decision. It's not the money. It's the trust. Where is my 25$ Amazon card and my vacation package to Vegas?

My wife and I bought membership and at first were very satisfied but every year the availability of places is not there and the locations of the ones that are available are either dumps or in the middle of nowhere. If things don't improve soon I will be contacting an attorney to get pro-rated portion of the initial price back. Advice is if it seems too good to be true it is. That certainly stands true for this company. I will say Nicole is very nice and does try to be helpful but her hands are tied.

I purchased this 10 years ago. It was great for years. Then I noticed the condominium availability had went to almost nonexistent. I would call and they would email me the same condos that were on the website, that was a joke. Then I get a phone call asking me to join a webinar scheduled to go over the upgrades and I agreed. She showed me the platform that I was using and then showed the upgrades and I was blown away. I got really excited and she told me they put millions into making this better. I was thinking to myself, "This is great," I paid them close to 5k ten years ago and they put that money to use along with all the other members. Then all of a sudden BAM... "In order to use this we need you to pay more money." She put me on hold and my blood started to boil.

I signed up with this company. When I had a concern they addressed and resolved it.

I went to Global sell production. After reading reviews everything went on make sense. They said always available, no blackout days. Timeshares sales said same thing. Why these people I'm reading say they can't book nothing there. I seen where it says power by RCI. I am a member of RCI. I had more problem with them than anyone. They lie you like a rug lay on floor. I not only one people talks at vacation. A lot of people said same thing. All they want your money and leave them alone. They change phone #, promise you anything make a sale.

We received a letter in the mail to renew for our membership. We paid off everything and haven't used our membership yet, except for our free trip. We were told we would not have to pay our $435 yearly fee if we didn't use it that year. They did this last time too and we had to call and make sure they didn't charge us. I've called twice and my husband called twice and no one has called back. Pretty sure this place is a scam. Also, our free trip wasn't that nice. It was dark and looked dirty. I doubt it's ever been updated. Don't purchase a membership through them. Waste of money and time!!

My husband and I purchased a vacation package a few years ago and were very excited with what the package had to offer. Fast forward to today and the only time we have been able to use our package was the free gift vacation we received at the presentation. This was not due to a lack of trying. Each time we have attempted to use the program, we are told there is nothing available in the locations we want to go. We have tried to book vacations in Florida, New Mexico and even Alabama. We looked into 3 separate cruises too. For each of these attempts we were told there was nothing available in the timeframes we were searching.

My husband and I listened to their presentation and decided to sign up. We were paying our payments but when we went to use it there were no available cabins on the cruise ships we were wanting to book or the price was higher than what I could book it for online. Now we have this huge bill in collections for something we never used and paid them quite a bit of money already for nothing.

Don’t do it! My mother-in-law paid $250 to have her membership transferred to us so we could enjoy what she hadn’t used in 11 years due to health issues. We would have to pay another $5000.00 to even be able to “see” what and where we could go. All I want is my mom to get her $250.00 back. Have left 6 messages over past 3 weeks (BTW she paid this in April! It took this long to even get this far!) and of course, nobody can call me back. DO NOT BUY INTO THIS SCAM!

I want my money back and cancel my contract ASAP! I "purchased" a membership to this organization, and because I was a Goldstar family member of the military, they "gave" me what they call a better deal. Four month later I lost my job, and wanted to cancel the membership but was told I could only reduce my payments; that was almost two years ago. I have moved to another state, and tried on numerous occasions to call, to cancel this contract, and receive no call back at all. Darn. Wasted $$$!

We signed up 2 years ago and have only once found a resort in a destination we want. When we went there, all amenities were extra charge so we ended up paying a lot more than we would have without Global for another hotel. We signed up through a 'special offer' but were not told that we would be charged an 18% finance fee every month! We are out of a lot of money and we're told by phone we cannot cancel this. The representatives who gave us their business cards are not reachable and their numbers are not in service. We would like to cancel our membership!

I received a call from Andrew (looks like he's helped quite a few GDV members) who gave me some helpful tips. I will follow his advice, and maybe in the near future I will be able to give a 5-start rating to Global Discovery Vacations. Thank you for your timely response and for willing to resolve this matter!

respect in representing Global Vacation Network.

My parents bought a 5 star package in their retirement. They never ended up using due to sudden poor health. My dad always told me... “It goes to you kids when we die.” Apparently not! Apparently they would have had to transfer it BEFORE their death. So if you own and die suddenly... Global gets your package back free and clear. Global rep just told me my dad KNEW that when he bought it... sounds like a hidden scam to me. My dad was so proud he and mom were leaving something for his children to enjoy after he and mom passed! My dad passed suddenly first and my mother was paralyzed her last 4 years of life so couldn’t notarize anything! After global told me all this... they then offer to sell me a "discounted" package! REALLY!!? I think this place is a scam to weasel money out of old people!!!

My husband and I purchased this travel plan 5 years ago. We have never been able to use the vacation "stars" or time due to the lack of destination locations and time of year. All resorts located in Florida etc. are during the peak Hurricane season. Even if you are looking at off peak times to travel the destinations are usually not available or cost more than what is being sold. Also, do NOT attend a presentation. They will promise some sort of gift but you will leave with a $5 gift card to Walmart of the like and think you are getting a 3-4 day Cruise. However, once you read the fine print and all the reviews you will see that you never get the cruise but pay additional $200+ in fees. The whole program is a SCAM and they hope that folks like my husband and I just give up. I will be looking to take this company to small claims court in order to re-coup some of our funds.

My husband and I went to a presentation and bought with Global Vacation Network back in 2007 when we lived near Chicago. The salespeople were very helpful and they even got me some peanut M&M's when my blood sugar started to dip since we were there past dinner time. We were quite skeptical that they could work with my husband's difficult schedule and were concerned with the time restraints of our three school age children. In the end we decided to give it a try and we both agree that we're glad that we did. We've always loved to travel and wanted an affordable way to take our children to other states and other countries as they got older and be able to return to areas in Europe and Mexico where we had traveled during our engagement. We held our breath and put in our first vacation request for the Wisconsin Dells.

We've been members since 2002, and so there have been many improvements through the years that we were not aware of with Global Vacation Network. I wish I had known Andrew (GVN customer service specialist) before I wrote my earlier review--Andrew spent a great deal of time discussing the program with us and sharing information on how to get the most out of our membership, and he well-informed us of how the program has improved over the years.

When my wife and I first bought our membership from Global, we couldn't have been happier with our choice to join. We took some great vacations. The money you save is unbelievable. For the past few years, we have used other vacation options, and haven't used our Global membership. This year we decided we wanted to take advantage of our membership again. They have some changes since we last used our membership. A gentleman from Global came to our home and I was upset about the changes that were made. But I believe the whole thing was a misunderstanding on my part. We were still able to get a three-bedroom condo on the beach in July. Since writing my original review, I have been contacted by Global, and they have answered all my questions. I would urge people to consider Global. I wish I could remove my original review, and I look forward to using Global for my vacation needs in the future.

Thank you for your prompted response and your time with me on the phone. I will consider this particular situation resolved.

Global Vacation is such a great vacation club. We have been able to travel to different locations/resorts and meet so many new people. Our experience far surpasses anything we could have hoped for. We have recommended Global to family and friends and are pleased that 4 friends have also joined. Now we will have to try and plan a joint vacation together as a group. We have new friends we have met while traveling, and enjoy the luxury of being able to go to different resorts in specific areas to determine which resort we like the best. So far each resort has been clean, the people are all friendly and welcome you as family. I love the fact that some resorts offer the option to purchase their all-inclusive package. We have taken advantage of this option twice and have been very pleased. Our next vacation is already planned - we are returning next month to Puerto Vallarta, for the third time this year. Love it!

I would like to express my thanks to Global Vacation and their representative Andrew in bringing my dispute to a successful conclusion. My wife and, I enjoy our vacations through them, and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks again for your prompt handling of this situation.

We don't understand what others complains. We bought this star credit membership in 2004, and we are using a lot more now than ever. And I must say it's been great! So easy to use and understand. There's no hidden charges. I would definitely recommend the Global Vacation.

Hello. I wanted to thank Global and their representative, Cheryl, for a very productive and informative meeting this past Saturday with Wayne and me. It was excellent how you explained everything and now I really feel I can take a better advantage of this wonderful vacation club. You have a way of putting it all in a hands-on process and I was even able to book a getaway for this summer. It was a great offering and thanks again for explaining it to us. It was a pleasure to meet with you.

We've been hearing ominous things on TV from Ohio about people who are very displeased with the way Global Vacation handled getting people in to listen to the spiel. They feel like they've been taken and some of the prizes that were promised weren't up to what they should be. But we have used it and we've been pleased with what we've had. The resort we went to in Pennsylvania was a little outdated and could have some renovations and better upkeep, and the one we went to in Myrtle beach recently was a big resort. It was okay, but it was the off season so it wasn't too bad. But the resort in Tennessee before, The White Oak, was really nice. It was newer and we really liked that one, and as far as experience, it's been okay.

We've had three parties just from bragging about Global Vacation Network and we probably made them 18,000 here in this rec room. Everyone we had here for about each time bought double. Everything's been great. We've been to Aruba three times and we had to get it a year ahead. Then my son had used it to go to Cabo. We've had no problems with the people and the places that we stayed. They're not the high rises or big hotels, but they're nice places. They're even better because they're not congested and they're paying a lot more than we are to stay in these timeshares.

It was easy signing up with GVN. We've always had good luck with units and not having problem booking them. Everything's worked fine for us.

They were very accommodating whenever we've requested vacation condos and the places that we've stayed had been very good. Every person that I've had contact with Global has been nice, polite and very capable. Our experience with them has been very positive.

We are very happy with our experience with Global Vacation Network. At first, we were reluctant to go to the presentation and had discussed that we were not going to buy anything. We only wanted the free trip so we did not pay attention but then we became interested and listened more. They were thorough, informative and answered all our questions. We didn't like the original price because it was too high but we negotiated with the manager to bring it down and that's when we signed up to become a member. We use it every year to go to the beach, Florida and Disney World and every experience that we've had was pleasant. The locations and condos have been wonderful and above our expectations. The trip was topnotch quality and we enjoyed it. Their call center people have been very helpful and wonderful in accommodating the dates and locations that we want.

Global Vacation Network have always been pleasant. Our trip in Gatlinburg was a little bit dumpy but otherwise, the rest had been good.

We've attended one of Global Vacation Network's presentations and it was pleasant - not too long and not too boring. Then we've signed up in person for a membership with them. We've taken a couple of vacations through them. As far as the vacations, a hell of vacation is always nice to get away. One of the things that we've had problems with is booking the right time of the year to get to places that we want. It seems like we always had to settle for the second or third choice. They never had our first choice or it was already booked. One of the places we've stayed at in Florida was less than what our experiences had been, it was still all right, but it wasn't what we were expecting, but other than that, for the most part, everything has been fine.

I had had a contract with Paradise and they told me I had a certain amount to use it. When I went to schedule it, they had cut it off before the time. Global called and said that they had to pick up for this company, and then I paid a bit more money hoping to use it all up and get my cruise - eight days, seven nights. Global thought that my program is only for a few years, but my program is for life which lasts forever. So I told the one person, “If this is the way it’s going to be, then I lost more money, and stop calling me.” Then they realized what they’ve done after they looked at it and they don’t call anymore.

The experience I had with Global Vacation Network was great. We haven't used it in a couple of years, but we went to Hawaii on our first trip and it was wonderful. We attended a presentation a year ago. It was very nice, and signing up to become a member was fine. I was really pleased because I couldn't have taken that kind of vacation without them. I have told people about Global, and my great experience with them.

We had a wonderful vacation, there is no doubt about it, and we couldn't have done with it without Global. We haven't used it in a couple of years, but we went to Hawaii on our first trip and it was wonderful. We are both retired and it is pretty tough out there. Put it this way: Living within our means has been a challenge. So putting any more into a vacation program is really not where we can be right now. We're glad we were able to sign up for this. I would definitely recommend them, and I have. But like I travel in the same circle as my age group and we're all out here trying to figure out how we're going to make things stretch. But I have told people about Global and that I couldn't have taken that kind of vacation without Global, and so I was really pleased.

Everything is great with Global. We had a great time in Sedona. The room was nice. Everything, including the scenery, was great. We were very pleased with our accommodations. The only negative thing is sometimes its hard to get places when you want them. Now we are going to be going back to Phoenix, Scottsdale area in March. We have placed it for two weeks and we had to fight to get that like a year in advance. We hope to do the same thing again for next year but it took us a long time to be able to get those two weeks.

Global Vacation Network has been very good for me. I had a very good experience to all places I’ve been to. The only one that was probably less than 100% was the one in Fort Lauderdale because the property was being renovated and it made it a little difficult to get around. And I have to say Hawaii was my favorite vacation. It was wonderful because we had a chance to explore a lot of other places. I’ll be leaving in two weeks for a vacation in the Cayman Islands using one of my weeks.

We've been with Global Vacation Network for years. Their program is nice and we're beginning to use more of it. We've been to a number of vacations and we've always enjoyed it. Facilities have always been good. We've never had any complaints about any of the places except for our most recent trip in Nashville at the Wyndham. The room's TV had a problem and the ice maker didn't work but those are minor issues. Then we wanted to go to Tennessee but their website doesn't have everything they have. So we called and the girl said she would look in to see what she could set up for us. She did and I felt like she went above and beyond. Global Vacation is worth your dollar.

The experience we had with Global Vacation Network in April of 2014 was good.

We always have good vacations with Global because their price is right. We did an update last year and we've done 19 weeks now since we owned up, so we use our vacations a lot. And they've been very good every time we've contacted them. I'd highly recommend them.

We're very satisfied with Global Vacation Network. I'm not good at doing things online so I got to call for help and they're always willing to help. However every once in a while it's been hard to get a hold of someone. Maybe all the agents are busy. There's a lot of numbers they have for different things and you just got to be a little patient getting a hold of them.

The very first vacation I had with Global Vacation Network was a little rocky and it left a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. But overall, I'm okay. I've had a little get together at my house and invited a couple of friends and both of them joined. I wouldn't do that if I wasn't happy with the company. The guy that came out and did our party was very good and knowledgeable. When we went on our last vacation at Daytona Beach, I stayed at Sea Shells and they had representatives there that treated us top-notch. I was very pleased.

Our experience with Global Vacation Network has been good. We went to a few condos that have not been satisfactory but most of them were okay. When we went to get Lindbergh, that really spoiled us, it was beautiful. They had it set up so nice. I would recommend them but there have been a few things that haven’t been good. Sometimes they say there is complete kitchen but it's not and there are only a few pots and pans. Also, the Hydra Bed in the condo in Ohio was absolutely horrible.

We first heard about Global Vacation Network through a seminar and it was very informative. Signing up wasn’t difficult at all. So far we had a good experience with them because we are regular member. If we stayed in Gaston it would not be so entertaining. Most of our stay have been very good but the last one we had this year was ugly. Victorian in Galveston condo that we stayed in was filthy and the whole building was already rundown. The staff there told my wife, “This is no hotel” and that pissed me off. We’ve been with Global now for 9 years and that was the first time that we’ve ever been dissatisfied. We haven’t spoken to their representatives yet but I know it wasn’t their fault. It was the location. Global did what they had to do. So, as far as I’m concerned, Global has been excellent.

We've had a lot of good experiences every time we went with Global Vacation Network. We've been to Myrtle Beach, Tennessee; Sedona, Arizona three times; and we've been to Florida three or four times. In every place that we've went with them, they were all up to my expectations. I haven't used it a lot in the last few years but prior to that we used it a lot. I liked the part that if I don't use it, I don't have to pay the dues and keep the term until I use it. What I didn't like was the 120 days that one has to call prior to getting a vacation spot. We didn't have to do that before and we wanted to go to Myrtle Beach. But since we upgraded to the next level, we won't have to worry about that anymore.

We had a really good experience with Global Vacation Network. We had a fabulous three weeks in Hawaii. We were blown away by the places we stayed at. The accommodations were fantastic and the prices were great. We've recommended Global Vacation Network to a lot of people, even to people that we met at the facilities we were at.

Our vacation with Global Vacation Network was very enjoyable and interacting with their people worked well. I heard about them from my friend and I would recommend them as well.

Most of our experiences with Global Vacation Network has been very good but the last one we had this year was ugly and not entertaining. It wasn't Global but the Victorian in Galveston. It was the building rundown and our condo was filthy. The staff there told my wife, "This is no hotel" and that pissed me off. We've been with Global for 8 years, and that was the first time we've ever been dissatisfied. But I would still say their the best. As far as I'm concerned, they have been excellent.

We have been members of Global Vacations for one year and have attempted four vacations. So far only one has worked out but only after about two months of going back and forth negotiations. Every time we choose a vacation destination, they either don't have any connections in that area or they cannot accommodate us on the dates we want to go. When we signed up, we were told they had condos all over the world. We have not asked to go to any remote place. Actually all of them have been to major vacation destinations and yet they can never seem to accommodate us.

Signing up with Global Vacation Network has been a good experience. We went out on a couple of trips with them and we really had a good time however I've gone through moving from Michigan to Florida since my husband died so I haven't used them for a couple of years.

We went to a Global Vacation Network presentation where they explained their current programs. We weren't sure about a lot things - how they work, etc. but once you get into it, you learn. We've been on a couple of vacations with them. I have children who have used them too and they've been quite pleased with GVN. Except for one experience, most of the vacations that we've taken have been very nice. We've recommended Global Vacation Network to many people.

Everything is good with Global Vacation Network and I would recommend it to a friend.

There's only been a couple vacations we've taken with Global that I've been very pleased with - there are some that I will and will not go back to. They show a beautiful picture on their website and when you get there, it's not what you saw. One time they supposedly put me up in a high class one but then we get the retro, the 60s. I took a relative on one and I was so disappointed. We just came back from the Poconos and I was not pleased at all. We're going to be back up there in March as well. Unfortunately they said we would be off-site, in these probably renovated condos. We are leaving for another vacation with them next Friday and I hope it's going to be a good one.

Being with Global Vacation Network has been great. I have no complaints so far since we've heard about them 15 years ago from the organization up here in Columbus. We met their people at a hotel room and they explained the things to us. We started with them afterwards. Everything was nice and we only had one bad experience with Global. It was when they were remodelling a hotel and the rooms were very bad. But that was years ago. Since then, everything has been good. We've had very good vacations and I'd recommend them to a friend.

We went to our first Global Vacation Network presentation about 15 years ago. We absolutely loved our old program but we ended up changing it recently. We got a call from them saying they had new programs and they told us that they’d like us to come in so they could explain the programs to us. So we ended up changing programs, and so far we are having a very good experience with it. For instance we normally go to the St. Pete area, and one of the places that they have units contracted for right now is Madeira Bay which is a condo hotel. So the company provides us with a lot of privately owned units and we never had an awful one.

We had a very pleasant experience when we used Global Vacation Network.

My wife and I signed up to become members with Global Vacation Network a few years ago and have had a good time with our vacations through them. Their team is knowledgeable and explained everything to us.

We were on vacation and sat down with one of Global Vacation Network's representatives at a restaurant that they were offering some information. We signed up and it was a very good experience. We've taken many trips with Global - not so much through our account, but with friends who have Global also. We share the expenses and have always had wonderful experiences with them. I don't think we've had a bad trip yet with Global.

Signing up with Global Vacation Network wasn't hard. I attended the presentation in which they described their programs -- it was informative but was over fast. Then we went on a vacation through some years ago and the place we stayed in was wonderful but it was being shown for sale and every time I turned around, somebody was knocking on the door, and at one point the realtor walked right in!

After their presentation in the Indianapolis area, I ended up signing up with Global Vacation Network. Initially, I made a lot of phone calls to resolve an issue but that was in the first year and we finally got that straightened out, though it took a lot of phone calls on my part and I had to keep asking to talk to somebody at a higher and higher level. But everybody I've ever spoken to has been quite pleasant to talk to.

I would recommend GVN. Our experience with them was good. We're happy with it.

We've been satisfied with Global Vacation Network. We will use it again this weekend to go off to New York. So far so good.

I had a friend sell me one of her week's vacation through Global. I requested a week at Ocean City MD, beach block. Though it took a month or so we got a nice condo at beach block within a short walk to the beach. The place was nice. Not overly fancy, could have used a little TLC, but I understand that good maintenance help is hard to come by there. It was during peak vacation season and we were given the choice of three units. We could view pics of each and made our choice. We had a wonderful time and did it again the following year and it also went flawlessly. I am now looking to purchase my own membership. As long as you are just looking to have a decent place to stay and a great location, it worked out very well for us.

My experience with Global Vacation Network wasn't too bad once you get past the usual sell, sell, sell routine. We attended their presentations and purchased our membership. Like anything, presentations always nice and the selling aspect is typical selling. You go from one person to another and finally settle on somebody. So it was initially acceptable. I'm an old salesman so it doesn't bother me that much. The actual vacation have been pretty good. Accommodations and sites have been excellent. I've called customer service for questions and they are always knowledgeable, they explain things, nice, and easy to contact.

We are dissatisfied 'cause we can't find places that we wanna go. I've been trying to get some place like St. Martins for February and still waiting to hear back. I guess they don't have a lot of inventory right now. We've been members for a long time but I haven't used them for a while because we haven't been happy since we can never get what we want. We enjoyed going to St. Martin and that's why were trying to go back. And 'cause that's about the only place where we've been so far.

I got a flyer in the mail for some airline ticket vouchers. It was funny because just a couple weeks prior to that one of my peers at my work had gotten the same flyer and he was telling me all about it. Well lo and behold a few weeks later one shows up at my house. So I brought it to him and I said "Hey, is this what you got?" He goes "Yeah, that's exactly what I got." I said "Did you have anything to do with it?" He said no. So I went, and had it not been for his experience, I would have never signed up. But because he had such a positive experience with it, I was all on it. Now looking back it was probably one of the best financial decisions I made for myself ever.

So far, the quality of the 2 trips we've had were very reasonable but both the condos we stayed in weren't the best. They were fine, but the last one we stayed at the carpet was horrible (I think they're owned by people who were renting theirs out and I don’t know if Global just signed up for a bunch of those people trying to get business in). The locations were great and I would go to the same locations again but I wouldn't go back to the same one we stayed at.

We've taken a lot of vacations with Global, and they were all very nice. Every single one of the places we've stayed in -- some of them have been fancier than others, but we're not really fancy people -- they've all been very adequate, clean, and nice. We have upcoming vacations planned for Cancun. My husband is taking our graduating grandsons, and another one close to Seattle, Washington. Global Vacation Network is awesome, and we constantly recommend them.

I've attended one of the presentations of Global Vacation Network and it has been favorable. We've been a member for twelve years and they have been very efficient. My vacations have been very good for the most part and were worth what we paid for.

We deal with Global Vacation Network all the time and we've had a good experience. In fact, we went on vacation in February and we're going back in July. We've been members for 12 years. We've dealt with many members there and we've had good and bad experiences. We've also had a number of parties there and would recommend Global Vacation Network to others.

We've had Global Vacation Network since 2002. I don't remember if we just got an invitation to go and review the program but that's when it started. We attended a presentation and I told my husband we're not gonna buy anything before we walked in, and he laughed at me when I walked out because we did buy. I said that wasn't a bad deal. We've been using it since, and have three weeks left.

We’ve used Global Vacation Network three times and we’re satisfied. When booking online, the vacation weeks are not available but when I call, miraculously, something is available. The places we've stayed in have been clean and well-equipped as advertised although there was one time last year when we went to Destin, Florida and the place we've stayed had bed bugs. We got it sprayed and cleaned and we didn't even have to move, which was good. Somebody who we talked to during that time said, "Oh, we'll be offering you some more stars" as a way to compensate but I haven't heard anything about it and it's been ten months. But the experience, for the most part, has been extremely good for us.

We have been working with GVN travel agents, and we loved them. They've been very helpful, friendly, timely with what they can do for us. They've been wonderful. The quality of our trips has been great. We just came back from a week in Florida. We've been to Arizona and Florida mostly. We've enjoyed the resorts that we've stayed in. They’re very nice and the units are clean, they're decorated. They have all the amenities. I love the washer and dryer in the unit and that’s really a plus. The views, if you're in Florida, you're usually on or near the water, one side or the other side of the state. In Arizona, we've stayed in Sedona and that was just absolutely fabulous: the views and the hiking. And the unit was absolutely beautiful. We were in Virginia as well and that was a lot of fun.

I first heard about Global Vacation Network through one of the parties of a member who had invited me. I signed up to become a member because it was explained fairly well and it was a good deal, and it was not threatening or whatever. Up until this last vacation we went on in January, all the experiences we had were very good. The facilities that we stayed in were all very nice. We have one planned vacation for next month through them. I hosted a party and I was able to get a free vacation from that, a one week condo stay and going to Gatlinburg.

We haven't used Global Vacation Network a lot but the experience that we have had has been positive. We came to their office, saw a film, talked to some people, decided to try it, and signed up. Everybody's been pleasant. We liked our trip at Hawaii a lot. We thought we were going to be a lot closer to Traverse City but we weren't even in Traverse City. We were in one of the outlying areas, so it was a little bit of a ride to go to Traverse every day but it was okay.

We received a teaser check ($1,800) from this company and the promise of free airfare for two to our port of departure for our free cruise. All we had to pay was somewhere between $80 and $300 PP for fees. We would be required to attend a 90 minute pitch for their vacation club. However, you and you spouse had to be no older than 72. So, being 74 I was disqualified. I guess they figure I wouldn't live long enough to justify the fee for buying into their club. What a bunch of discriminatory garbage. They said I would "qualify" for their senior offers - I politely told them to take a hike.

We heard about Global Vacation Network through a Grand Rapids branch office. We went in for a meeting with them to take a look at what they have. It was approximately fourteen years ago and it seemed to have went really well. We were very impressed with it. We've gone to Hawaii six times with them and were very impressed with the facilities. It's also been a couple of years going at the New Log Cabin, which we are just well beyond pleased with those facilities as well. If you have flexibility, GVN is a must for your resource of travelling.

Our trips with Global Vacation Network have been good except it seems like they've got less places that we wanted to go now. It's harder to get a place that we're interested in going so we haven't used them lately. It's not a bad experience overall, though, since we've been with them for a long time and we've actually upgraded three times. This last upgrade was my least happiest upgrade, but I did it anyway. This last time, I thought I was getting more than I was getting for the upgrade. I do have upcoming vacations planned, but not necessarily through them. But we're going to be looking at them to use them for a family vacation. Their people have all been very friendly and and professional, especially the ones that work in Kansas City. I guess that's where their headquarters is located. I've had an interesting experience with them.

So far so good! Looking forward to traveling and passing this on one day to my children and grandchildren.

My overall experience with Global vacation network has been good. The highlight of my experience with them is the nice rooms. I’d recommend them!

I have some good and not so good trips through Global Vacation Network. They're okay. The only thing is it's sometimes hard to get where you want to go but the people are great.

Heard about Global Vacation Network through some friends. We asked specifically if they had access to anything in Jackson Hole, and the guy got on his little laptop and he then he goes, "Oh yes, we have three or four Jackson Hole." Well it came to pass that they had nothing, and that was the one place that we wanted to go because it's close to our son. I complained but it didn't get me anywhere. It's hard to get what you want. The last two, I did a year in advance and didn't exactly get what I asked for. Wanted a two bedroom. I had to take a three bedroom and it took a year in advance. It's probably five months before they got me anything. They seem to be signing up more people than they can book. But since then, when I'm trying to book something everyone's been helpful and courteous. Also, the condos that we've gotten have been really good and nice - can't complain about that.

We've only used Global Vacation Network a few times when our kids were younger -- we just haven't had much time to use it and we're also not really good planners. They also don't have a lot of destinations in our area, so that's a downfall. We would have used it more if there was some closer to the Midwest area as the airfare can get expensive with four people travelling. But the ones we did use, they were beautiful. We went to Florida with it, and then my daughter used it in California. We had one where we used it for a summer trip up north - it was great and worth the money. Beautiful places, just above and beyond. They’re really nice and they're worth the money and the savings. Now that our kids are grown, we want to try and use it again.

We've had Global Vacation Network for 12 years but haven't used it in a while. Anything we wanted, we've had real good help with from their representatives. In fact, we did just update and added more weeks.

Global Vacation Network gave informative presentations, and since signing up with them I think I've used it two or maybe three times, and all of them have been good. It's only recently that it has not been good; their sales department frustrated me personally. My wife died in 1994 and I signed up with them sometime 2002; they made me put someone else on the contract and so I put my daughter on there. My daughter is in the contract with me and I didn't realize my daughter had to be there for Global to talk to me. It really has been a hassle. I've wanted to go and find out more about how to use my plan, because I've been pretty inactive. I think they want to get me back on board and start collecting the annual dues but the way they're treating me, they're not making that possible for me want to come back.

I had a very good experience with Global Vacation Network. With them I would go pretty much where I wanna go. Sometimes, there aren't places where I've requested but everywhere I've been has been nice.

I attended a GVN presentation a few weeks ago where they described what was new and I was a little unhappy finding out that I'm limited in my choices without buying extra stuff or paying more money. But the vacations that they offer have always been fine and pleasant. I had no bad experiences with it.

I've gotten value out of every vacation I've been on with Global Vacation Network. I bought a Starwood Kennel and had eight weeks of vacation -- it couldn't have gone better than that. It was an excellent experience. I've spent thousands of dollars with them, and use it every month or two. I am happy with their services, and would recommend them at all times.

We have some places that we like to go back to that we've been very happy with. We've had a couple places that were not very nice. The one thing with Global is I think it's more of a low-cost vacation alternative, so you're not going to get five-star resorts. If you go in there knowing that and keeping your expectations at that level, you won't be disappointed. But if you're looking for something that's amazing, you're not gonna find that.

We bought a membership in December 2013 and have been very please having traveled twice ourselves and gifted once to my parents. All three condos have exceeded our expectations and have been easy to book and use. We have loved every bit of our membership and would recommend it to anyone who travels often. The expressways always seem to get us somewhere great and in a large condo that accommodates friends and family. Great choice for vacation ownership.

We went to one of Global Vacation Network’s seminar a few years ago, and it was well presented enough to make us make a choice to join. We've used the express ways more often than anything else, and all of our experiences have been good and we've been happy with all of the places we've stayed at. Some of them have been a little bit better than others, but most of the accommodations have been what we expected. However, I was a little bit disappointed that they wanted to charge us $5,000 to join their new upgraded program, which would allow access to many more destinations. I think that this would be an option we would have for what we had already paid, so we chose not to do that and just keep the original, which doesn’t allow us access to all the various locations had we upgraded for another program, whatever the cost was.

We have used Global Vacation Network probably in the last two or three years. We went to California - it was me, my wife, and my kids - and what we had out there was very pleasant. The accommodations were excellent out there and everybody just had a wonderful time. It was the best.

We attended a presentation at a Global Network place and won a vacation to many different places to choose from. I am excited about it and can't wait. Now here is where the dilemma accrues. They offer a water park vacation in Sandusky OH. I don't need to be guaranteed a certain place but would like to have an idea of places they use. Because there are a lot of super nice places there but there are also a few I wouldn't want to drive by much less stay at. I have called every number emailed every place and person I can but everybody has the same answer. "Oh we don't know which hotels they use there." Somebody knows or knows somebody who does. There are a lot of good choices but would prefer to be able to take my 9 year old son with us but also don't want to waste this gift. If anyone has any info me I would greatly appreciate it.

I've been in Global Vacation Network for 20 years. 20 years ago they were marketing here and they invited people to come over to the office and learn about it. After the presentation I bought it and have gone on vacation every year since. My trips went fine. I wasn't thrilled with the last place, but it was okay.

Our membership began in 2013 and we have never been able to use the program. No matter how much advance notice we gave there was never anything available, and quite often nothing in the places we wanted to visit. It was a complete waste of money. We are paid in full and have never been able to use it. Take my advice. DO NOT JOIN THIS GROUP. You will be sorry.

We’ve had some absolutely wonderful, beautiful, fantastic vacations with Global Vacation Network and have had a few that were not as good. The people at Global have been absolutely wonderful. Most of the time the places we've been to were decent places though we had one place that the bathroom door didn’t close completely, because it had just been repainted. When we talked to somebody, they said we should have complained right away and they would have moved us into another room, so that’s good to know for future vacations. Some of the places are better than we ever expected and are absolutely gorgeous.

The Global Vacation Network presentation was nice. We signed up in person to become members. The people have all been very helpful and I've had very nice accommodations. My trips were all great.

Went for the presentation because i was promised two free airline tickets and a three day getaway. When I went to redeem them I was told that it did not include the taxes and destination fees which would cost several hundred dollars. A real scam. Do not trust this company!!!

My membership was canceled and for that I'm thankful.

Their presentation was informative. It has been pretty good, though I didn’t use it last year. I used Global Vacation in Texas 2 or 3 years ago, and used it in Phoenix, Arizona a few years before that. My experience was great.

Global Vacation Network has very good service, excellent really. I actually referred them to my daughter and she just went on a trip to Cayman.

My husband understood Global Vacation Network at the presentation and he said we could do it. We always feel that we’re satisfied for what we pay for. We traveled a lot with Global and one thing that I have complained about is sometimes it takes a while before you know if you actually have your request filled but they have gotten a bit better about that in the last few years. The people that I normally work with were friendly. We have been happy with our experience with Global. We learned how to use it and we’ve used it a lot. It’s a little bit of an overstatement to say, “Anytime, Anywhere” and once you learn, you know really what places are available and when and you’re more likely to get your request.

My experiences using Global Vacation Network are usually pretty good. For the most part, the trips I had with them are high quality and their team is usually friendly.

We signed up with Global in 2006 or 2007. They had some pretty good offers while we went and met with them, and we decided since we're planning on taking vacations every year, we would want to go with something like that. They offered packages that we thought were suited us and it wasn't high pressure or forced - it lined up with what we wanted. In every vacation, we've had good accommodations and we haven't had any issues. The one thing that could be improved is the location of keys since the managing real estate office is not always close to where you're staying.

We signed up last October November 2014 time frame. Went to use it for New Orleans trip and left message after message with service and never received a call back. Lost out on our Free Airline and Hotel. Trying to work with them again and so far we have airline tickets but no room. We are leaving next Thursday. Very stressful transaction that isn't completed.

I've been a member of Global Vacation Network since 2008. We sat through a 90-minute presentation and really liked what we heard and signed up at that time. Started utilizing the program and went on several really nice vacations. Paid for the membership over several years and actually we're coming upon completion of hanging off and it has become really fun family type thing. We've gifted stars to family members and recently my husband's son just got married and we gifted a honeymoon for him and his wife. We've done family trips as well as honeymoon for ourselves. Just really fun trips, we go see friends who live out of state, went to concerts in other states, to just vacations for my husband and I, to vacations for blended families because they have remarried. I have the membership now and we just use it for various things. But we definitely use expressways as well as the stars and we're getting ready to go to Florida on the 24th. We definitely have made very good use of it especially in the last couple of years. Our experience with Global has been very adventuresome and exciting.

It's been a very good experience so far with Global Vacation Network. For the most part, I get what I'm looking for and it works very well.

I went to the presentation of Global Vacation Network (GVN) that was in Tinley Park. They went over the week and things like that and stars and credits that we can use. So far our experiences with GVN were fine except for one because the representatives did not know that there was an off season and things didn't open up yet - certain things before we went on vacation. It was out on Ohio. But other than that we haven't had any issues or problems. We would recommend GVN. In fact, we've already had people join.

I attended a Global Vacation Network presentation and it was a good meeting. We have not had a bad vacation with Global, all have been good. We sent a nephew for his honeymoon and another nephew for a family vacation and everybody enjoyed it. My only complaint is in winter time when you really don't find too many tourist stuff going on. Otherwise, we've had good experience with Global.

We've had quite a few experiences with Global Vacation Network and have always been very satisfied. If we ever had a problem, they took care of it. They've always been very helpful. Sometimes the 60 day window was something I forget about but we've had good experience with anybody that we've called in the office that made the reservations.

I signed up late in the fall. Signing up with them was relatively easy. They had some very good people answering all my questions. All of the vacations I've been to were all great. I stayed down in Redington Beach. I've been to Myrtle Beach. I've been up in Northern Michigan, I've been down to Pigeon Forge, and I've been to Vegas a couple of times. I’m going to Hawaii next year and probably something in the summer sometime.

Everything was organized. I never had any issues with checking in or checking out. Everything was pretty easy. And whenever I’ve called GVN's home office, they’ve all been able to answer any questions that I might have. If they didn’t, they’d always get back to me. So it’s been a positive overall situation for me.

When we can get away and there’s some nice condo that we go to, it’s a very nice experience -- The first vacation we took was very nice. The only problem is that there's really not a lot of places we can stay at at certain areas, such as down at Orange Beach there's one and we do not really care for it. At some places we want to go to, there's no place that GVN has for us to stay at. So it's disappointing especially when you put that kind of money out.

I feel good about Global Vacation Network; that's why I signed up. We had a satisfactory experience.

We attended a Global Vacation Network presentation and that’s how we ended up signing up. The presentation was very informative and upfront. We’ve used it every year since we had it and have been very satisfied with the places that we’ve stayed in - it was a good thing for us to do that. It’s always been positive except one time when I called to make a reservation and the girl argued with me because she said that we couldn’t get the week that we wanted because it was going into the next year. I knew that we can because the same thing happened the year before. Finally, I told her, “You need to go and talk to the supervisor because I know this is okay.” She did and it was all fine. We may have had to adjust a little bit time-wise as far as what they have for availability but we’ve been able to go where we want to go. We always like to go to Hawaii so we paid extra for where you can sign up 13 months ahead of time of when you want to go. That has worked out well for us because we get in ahead of a lot of the other people. We would recommend them.

My husband and I bought a package from Global Vacations back in 1997. They were then located in Southfield, Michigan. The very first trip we took was to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was very nice and the condo was excellent. The following year we went to Hawaii in a very substandard hotel like condo. From that point on it has been a living hell. The contract requires that you book 45 days ahead. Well, let me tell you, you can book 9 months - 1 year ahead and they claim to have nothing available. None of the places listed in the brochure are ever available. When you are able to get accommodations it is in a 2-3 star hotel, nothing whatsoever like what you are presented with in the presentation. I still have time left on our package, but had to walk away because they wanted the maintenance fee paid up in full for the 2 years we were unable to use the plan. Why would we continue to pay a maintenance fee and no unit is ever available???? They won't even discuss availability until the fee is paid, then after you paid the fee NOTHING is available. TOTAL SCAM!!!!

I first heard about Global Vacation Network from a flier in the mail. I went in with the intention of not doing anything to get the free stuff and it turned into applying. I attended a Global Vacation Network presentation and it was great -- a good experience. We tried to book a vacation and they told us there was nothing available so we went through to something else. But we were not happy after paying all this money for this place so we contacted somebody else and got our units that we wanted. Going on a trip was fabulous and we have one scheduled for January. They're a great deal and I've had 3-6 people who bought into it since I did.

We got an offer for free flight anywhere if we went in to listen to a sales pitch from Global Vacation Network and it was a good presentation. We enjoyed it and signed up. We’ve taken quite a few trips. We went to the big island of Hawaii for our first trip and Myrtle Beach and Las Vegas. We’ve been to Dustin and Daytona Beach, FL; Gatlinburg, TN; Frisco, CO. The condos were all very good. We enjoyed it all. First class affair.

We’ve been members of Global Vacation Network for over 10 years. We signed up at a presentation. Experiences were fantastic. Never had a bad experience. Highly recommend it and we love the program. Every vacation we’ve had has just been absolutely amazing. The people at the resorts that we’ve gone to are super friendly. We haven’t had a real interaction with the Global people other than when I’ve called and set up plans for vacation but the people have been extremely courteous, very helpful, and they’ve always been able to get exactly what we wanted so we’re very pleased. Overall, I’d recommend Global Vacation Network. We have not one complaint nor have we ever had a complaint ever. It’s been great. We’ll stick with it for as long as we can travel.

I first heard about Global Vacation Network in one of the presentations a long time ago, and I bought into it that night cause it was such a good thing and I was pleased with it. I really liked it. I’ve had all good experiences, no bad ones. The trips have been all good quality. Fantastic. Interaction with the team was always good, nothing bad. If the economy weren’t so bad I would recommend it to everybody if I could get them to sign-up. Just overall, the program is great and all the additions. I haven’t used mine in a couple of years cause I’ve been financially strapped, but I’m hoping to talk to somebody soon about catching up on what’s going on cause I hope to use it next year if I can.

We went to a Global Vacation Network presentation and we liked it. We've been with them for years. One time, they set us in a condo which was nice. The balcony had 4 ceiling fans, and tiles all over the place. It was an apartment probably around 1,500 to 1,700 square feet. It was huge and I was impressed. They had a full kitchen with granite tops and a nice refrigerator, not cheap like a hotel where you have crushed ice. The place where we're at had 3 huge swimming pools. They had nice shops around and you could rent a boat and jet skis. You even had a place where you can go jetpacking.

My family and I have used Global Discovery for now over four years. They do not disappoint! Every location has provided us with a spectacular vacation without the unnecessary 'junk' that is associated with other vacation/timeshare programs. While Riviera Maya (my favorite) has been used multiple times, Gatlinburg, TN was spectacular. The staff is very accommodating in finding the right resorts at the optimal time. Side note: Plan accordingly & book early as possible! These are prime locations, and they fill up fast. I would just like to thank Global Discovery for an amazing program to which will be used for years to come. Vacation has a new look on life!

Initially I signed up for a 3-year preliminary and recently I went ahead and changed to be a regular member because the trips that I've been on have been great (I've been on two) and I've been very satisfied with what we had. So I would recommend Global. However, there is a company that Global deals that is is almost impossible to work with and they have us jumping through hoop after hoop after hoop. They make you turn in 3 places where "you can't go here, you need to turn in another one... you can't just go here, you need to turn in another one... " and they give you these deadlines. Finally they said "okay, we'll give you this." So we gave them a date but they changed the date and said, "I'm sorry. It's got to be this way." It was one thing after another after... We ended up not going because we couldn't deal with it any longer. I wish I remember the name of them. If I knew exactly how to report them, I would report them. But brushing that aside, Global has been very very helpful, they've helped us work out a place. And like I said, I just recently changed from a 3 year trial to a full membership and I paid that and they have not been hard to deal with.

I've been a member with Global Vacation Network for 13 years and we've been to a lot of places. We've been to Orlando, Tennessee and Myrtle Beach. Those are the ones that I remember most. All the trips had been pretty good and the teams at Global are usually easy to contact.

On 11/16/14 my wife and I received the "Bait and Switch" call stating we had been selected to win a guaranteed sweepstakes award. We attended the stated 90-minute presentation and were educated and quite entertained by the podium facilitator. After 4 total hours of being at the presentation center we actually purchased a plan and became members.

We love our experience with Global Vacation Network and our vacation plan. We heard about GVN years ago. A guy that worked at a local TV station started doing promotion for the travel club and we went out to one of the presentations, loved it and have been in it ever since. We plan on maintaining and staying in it for the rest of our lives. I retired so we haven't used it in maybe a year but we plan on being more active in GVN again shortly.

We signed up to become a member with Global Vacation Network. I haven't used it in a while but when I did, my experience was good. All of our interactions with the Global team has been positive. Overall quality of the trip has always been well. However, I would not recommend Global Vacation to my friends but it's not because of any experience I've had with the people I've talked to. It would be because there are no vacation places to stay where I want to go. I've called them sometimes to find out if there are places where I want to go but they don't seem to have places available. We have always stayed in and we like to go up to New England and there are absolutely no places in Maine for us to say. Signing up to become a member was good but I don't think that Global Vacation has 5-star accommodations, maybe 3-star accommodations.

It's been 8 years since we joined Global Vacation Network. They were here in town. We had a positive experience when we attended the presentation the first time and ninety percent of the vacations we've had through them have been excellent. They're just what we wanted. We're an old couple and wanted to be able to travel so they helped us. Overall it's very satisfactory. Lately I've done most of my contact through the internet but anytime other than that, our interactions with the Global team worked out fine. I would recommend them.

I got a call from someone at Kris at Global Vacations and she cleared everything up. I really do think their package is pretty attractive and when the timming is right I will join.

During Sales Presentation we were told many untruthful statements. Purchased this vacation club last year in the summer. My Representative was Andrea, and Mike was the travel director. I am in contract for over 5k for this membership. It's been over a year and I still can't use it. We were promised that we would have abundance of locations and neighboring condos to stay at. They showed us maps of different places to go with different colors showing us condo's they owned as well as their condos who they have contracts with as the neighboring units that would be own to us. Three times within this year, and the most recent being 10-27-14, I was trying to go to Miami.

For our situation and income and all, I think Global has been the best fit that we've found so far. We've only used Global twice, one for Hawaii and the other in Gatlinburg and we've been very happy.

I was invited by Global Vacation Network to a presentation over eight or nine years ago. It was a pretty good experience. I owned a time share and still own it. I went to the presentation because I was looking for something for my kids, so that they would be able to have something that they could use when they got older. And it was a price that was well worth it. We've been hosting presentation parties here at my home since about April, and have had a guy that's been coming out from Global connections and we've been sharing information that we learned. Out of the eight parties we've had, we had about 16 people that have signed up.

We've taken quite a few vacations with Global Vacation Network, and it's been good. We love being able to get really good accommodations and not have to pay up to wazoo for it. My husband does all the reservations and any time you get them on the phone or talk to them, the staff have been all really nice. We've done lots of parties for them. Definitely recommend them.

I first heard about Global Vacation Network when I got a postcard in the mail. It said “if you are interested in a presentation, come to this certain place and sit down for a presentation”. So my wife and I did, we went and listened to the spiel, sounds like a good idea and we bought a membership right on the spot.

We first heard about Global Vacation Network through a phone call. We moved into a new townhouse and Global was already calling the other people whose telephone number they had even before we got there. After I told them they had the wrong number, they started telling me about Global. We went to a meeting and that’s how we got involved in Global. We were in Las Vegas in August and the staff was just awesome. Anything we said we needed, they were right there with it or tried to get it. The experiences we’ve had have been really wonderful. I can’t say anything negative about Global. I would recommend them to anybody.

One vacation we had under Global Vacation Network was our visit to Fort Lauderdale, FL. We stayed at a nice place and enjoyed it. Right now, we’re in the process of planning our next vacation. So far, all the people we’ve interacted with were nice and helpful whenever I need questions answered.

After my last experience with them, I haven't traveled with them since. We were planning to travel up north to swim and boat and all. And the unit we had, they forgot to leave whatever they were supposed to leave, or they deliberately didn't leave it so we would have access to the beach and other water facility. So to me, it was a wasted week. And we went to various places, tried to get in. Then we finally got hold of the caretaker for the unit of the owner. And by then, we just didn't care. We had things planned. So I didn't even bother calling Global and I didn't bother using them again. I'm just waiting to see how they are with my next booking, which will probably be this winter.

We only used Global once when we went to Las Vegas and that trip was good. We tried to use their Travel Agency there, but it was so much more expensive than if we just went on the internet and got it ourselves. That didn't make any sense to me. So, we weren't too happy about that. I was just kinda disappointed on how expensive it was at. We've been trying to use it again but it cost more to go through Global than it does with buying the tickets ourselves.

My experience with Global hasn't been good. Here's the deal. We used Global once and we had a wonderful experience the first time we used it. We went to the resort in Little Harbor in Ruskin, Florida, and the accommodations were lovely. Everything worked out fine. Since then, I've tried a couple of times to book and of course I want Florida in February so that's always an issue. I tried a couple of times and nobody could offer me anything. "How about the Bahamas?" I said, "No. I don't want to go out of the country." So now I'm retired and I would like to use Global Vacation. My problem is there is non-availability in Florida during the winter months. That's my complaint.

We've been members of Global Vacation Network for a long time, about 9 years. We went to one of the meetings and signed up in person. We usually get really good condos. There’s been one time when it wasn't the greatest but overall we've had good success with the condos. And it’s been easy to upgrade for our kids, so we’ve enjoyed it. The one condo that I wasn’t too impressed with was just kind of grungy. But other than that they were all good.

Do not believe everything you hear. They will promise you the sun and the moon, but it is all a scam. I was told that I would get a trip to Mexico if I joined and I never received it - and since I defaulted on paying have a bad credit rating. THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAM ARTIST TRYING to make a quick buck since they are only surviving on the commission from these unknown vacations. Don't trust them. They want your bank account info so they can debit your account.

We got an invitation in the mail to one of their promotions. We went there and signed up for membership. Went on a trip once that we arranged through Global and it was good. I want to get started using them for our future trips.

My experience with Global Vacation Network for the most part has been good. I haven't used it that much lately.

Due to health problems we were unable to use our membership for two years. Therefore we lost our free year of membership fees. After an inquiry with Robk ** he contacted VP Terry Diegl and Global was kind enough to give U.S. a free year. We are so happy and thankful for this generous offer, we are looking forward to a wonderful vacation this year.

We're very, very much happy with Global Vacation Network. We've been with them a long time and we've gotten a lot of benefits out of the trips that we've been able to take. We learned about them when we made a trip to Hawaii with friends of ours and they took that up from there and they called us. Their team is very helpful and very courteous. They follow up on what they're doing and what we want them to do, so when we call and give them some of the places that we're interested in going, they stay with it and get back with us very quickly in regard to the options that might be available. So they're really good.

We responded to a mailer in regard to free travel and later signed up to become a member at the presentation we attended a few years ago. So far, we've had good experience. We've been to a couple different places. One of them being down in Grand Cayman, the other one down in Tennessee, and both have been very nice places, very comfortable and clean.

We went to a Global Vacation Network demonstration in Columbus which is an hour away. We were among a group of 25 to 30 people who were there to hear the presentation. And then we met one on one with the salesperson and decided what we were willing to spend and what that would allow us to do. That's how we got into Global Vacation Network. As a perk of coming to that initial meeting, we got a free weekend in Florida which was a disaster. The hotel that we were to go to, we only stayed there one night. It was so disgusting. It was filthy and dirty and the pool was broken. Ridiculous, it was awful. But that was fine and we've gotten beyond that. So whoever they arranged those freebies with did not do them any service.

We went to Maples and we had a good experience with the place that we had there. We're really happy with it. And we took a trip to Grand Cayman and we were happy with the place that we had there. We were less happy at first until we realized how much other people were paying for the same place and suddenly that helped because Grand Cayman is a pretty expensive place to visit. So overall, they're fine for taking a vacation... but don't ever believe them on the free gifts.

I signed up with Global Vacation Network in person. I attended a presentation where they described their programs. I like it when they have the people who’s honest to have presentations at their home if they want to, to share that with other people. I really like them having that.

Out of the blue we got a call or something in the mail about it. We had just gotten married and thought, "hey, why not?" So we went to the presentation and heard what Global was all about. There wasn't much pressure or anything like that. It wasn't a bad experience which helped us in our decision. So far all our vacations we've done have been very nice. Our first trip was to Hawaii, and that was amazing. We would totally love to do that again (our condo was awesome!) It was pretty easy to book it. We did it all online. It was very nice to do it that way. We also took a cruise, which was very nice, and have stayed in a couple of condos down south for a week. One was a little out of date, but they were both worth going down. Overall GVN has been a wonderful travel company to work with. We've used the travel services for buying airline tickets and they were very helpful. We haven’t had much contact with too many people but they've always been very friendly and helpful.

My Experience with Global Vacation Network was good.

I first heard of Global Vacation Network from my aunt and my mother who were already members. We went over to my aunt’s house and they had a presentation there and we signed up. We’ve also had a few presentations at our house, so we know of their current programs. Since becoming members, we’ve been on eight or nine different vacations and they’ve all been great. The rooms have been good and the locations have been great. Global Vacation Network has been really good for our family. We wouldn’t be able to afford to travel without them. We go on vacation every year, and next year, we’re going to Branson, Missouri.

I pay my $389 a year. By August I'm supposed to get a free week or a hotel room, depending on place and time, if I pay on time which is a nice bonus. My weeks used to be $79 and now they're $89 and that's not too bad. I've gone to Hawaii three different weeks. One week one month, one week another month because you can't have them both in the same month and you can't have them next to each other. They got all these rules but we worked it out that we could go one week in March and then skip a week, and then we could go another week in April, and they helped me through that. I also went to Tuscany, Italy and that was really cool. It was a walled in city, and we didn't even know where we were going. When we got there, it was like a great surprise.

I always encourage people to join Global Vacation Network. My Destin vacation was awesome. The resort was one of the best resorts. Some are better than others but Destin is ranked way up there, and I'm hoping to get us Sedona in February to go Arizona. There's nothing necessarily fancy about them but they're all clean and nice kitchen facilities. The pools are always nice and clean. Just overall for our needs. We're fairly economical and it's got everything we need there.

We went to one of Global Vacation Network's presentation and it was a little pushy, but was okay. We've taken trips for a week in Alabama and a week California. The condos are okay but not the greatest. They're kind of second rate, but it works out all right. We took a trip to the Netherlands and the GVN team helped with all of the flights, hotels and rental car. They're very nice to work with. You just call them up and/or write them an email and they'll take care of it.

Whenever we've taken vacations with Global, it has always been good. The places we stayed at were very nice, and the people were always helpful. The prices were good and we enjoyed it.

I never was interested in a timeshare because I don’t like going to the same place each year, ever. But the options Global gives are really good and we've been very happy with them.

We've been Global members for about 7 or 8 years. Our experience at their presentation was fine. But over the years, our expectation of what we were presented was and is a lot lower than we were led to believe at their initial signup and presentation.

When we went to the initial presentation four or five years ago, there was a little pressure when signing up with Global but they made it sound nice and it sort of is. Their representatives are very knowledgeable and very helpful. We've had several vacations with them and most of the facilities are very nice. One was a little questionable, but for the most part, they're nice. One problem that we have is that it's a little hard for us to make a plan 8 or 12 months in advance, and if we want to, it's usually sold out by the time we're ready to decide. But we've enjoyed the vacations and they've all been easy to work with. We've actually scheduled to go down to Florida in Pompano Beach in December.

I had had a poor experience with the representatives who originally contacted me. However, the company contacted me immediately after I posted my review here to apologize and they did send me a check to buy me lunch as a token of their apology. I believe it may have just been the representatives that happened to contact me. I appreciate them reaching out to me to correct the issue.

My husband received a call stating that they received a response form that he filled out at a state fair and wanted him to attend a 90 min session for free airfare and stay voucher. We went, everything sounded great until I was told a high price of $13900 for the membership. The 23 year old sales rep that my husband and I were assigned to was very immature and lacked professionalism. He referred to the condos as "very dope" and even asked what I thought about the other couple that attended the session with us. The 23 year old talked to us like we were his friends bashing about other couples and kept telling us how "dope" everything was and that I should overcharge my friends so that I can make money off of them if I choose to purchase a membership. After spending three hours (not the 90 min as told), I was able to finally get out with my husband along with the restaurant gift cards and the airfare/stay voucher.

I'm a thousand percent satisfied with Global Vacation Network. I've never had a bad one yet. The presentation I attended was amazing. I was very satisfied at that time. I didn't feel any pressure and the sales staff was very friendly, cordial, and very informative. I felt comfortable making the investment. And since then, I've continued to add stars as I go. I've had the best memories of my life thanks to them. The customer service, the team and the variety of places to go to, are phenomenal. Whenever we go to any resorts, they've been nothing but a ten-plus. They've been very clean, elegant, very classy places, very safe and very secluded. A lot of them have every amenity that there’s no reason even to leave the site. We love the resort club in Florida. It’s one of the best resorts they offer. When I’m on vacation and listen to other people describe their travel groups or resort clubs, they can’t compare to Global or the value that they give. And I was happy and delighted last night to see that they were starting the specials again for the $129 for a week.

We received a card in the mail for a Global Vacation Network presentation where they were offering a television and a grocery coupon. It happened right after Nelson and I retired. The presentation was very good. Young man that did the presentation was a good salesperson. It was quite intimate. There might have been four other couples with us but we enjoyed ourselves and they offered a couple of coupons when we came in, so we decided to purchase the package. We've had wonderful trips. We've been to California twice and Florida twice. All the places we've stayed are just really, really nice.

We've been happy with Global. We had gone to a presentation and the only thing I wasn't happy about it was the insistence by the presenter that you've got to sign up right away. I said, "No, I'm not going to do it. I just don't do things like that." So we went home and talked about it. I looked things up, and it seemed like everything was on the up and up. And I said, "Oh well, so much for that." About a year later, they had another one of those presentations, so we went to that one and jumped on it.
