  We won a free trip we were on the zoom call for well over the allotted time they quoted, high pressure sales and pressured into signing an electronic contract over that call (you cant read it right then) with no mention of cancellation process or the fact that they charge you 60% of your balance. The girl on the phone in *************** even told me that they DONT tell people that and IT IS NOT stated in the contract, it is their policy if you cancel after their grace ******* The free trip they offer is not free you have to pay $340 for ************ before you book and you cant take it on your time frame, its on theirs. The ********** trip flies into *** with no transport to or from *******. And you have to fly out of whatever airport they use. Like we have to drive three hours each way to get to Phoenix and then find a way to get from *** to ********** and back. I want to cancel membership weve made 2 payments, we need to replace our solar batteries unexpectedly and the $1400 is the cost of 3 of 16 needed. They wont let us out without paying 60% because it isnt free to sign you up for this stuff Maam i asked how they can sign us up for anything when we were going For the ** PACKAGE and have not chosen any zones to be signed up for? She just kept saying this isnt free maam if we let everyone out of their contract who asks wed be broke! Really? Well, If you have that many wanting out perhaps thats a sign you need to be more open and honest from the start with people. We would have enjoyed using this service later down the road had they been transparent and willing to work with us, but now we are feeling like idiots for ever trusting them to begin with. Oh and also allegedly her boss E*** is the ONLY person left to talk to about it and she has no idea when h*** be in the office. Good concept for travel, bad company ethics. Lots of hidden catches and fees. No transparency. They even ask you not to read online reviews before presentation.

  Absolutely the worst! We were offered a free vacation regardless if we signed up or not. Never received anything. Pressured into signing the contract with GCI. We were never informed of the cancellation process or the additional fees. Prices through this business are comparable to other resources so there is no actual benefit. Havent been able to travel but still get charged annual fees and interest and informed that when we tried to cancel all they kept saying was it's in your contract that you only have 3 days with no other way out.

  Absolutely the worst! We were offered a free vacation regardless if we signed up or not. Never received anything. Pressured into signing the contract with *************** for personal research into this business. GCI randomly stopped my automatic payments without telling us and severely hurt my credit report. Prices through this business are comparable to other resources so there is no actual benefit. Havent been able to travel but still get charged annual fees and interest.

  ************** Thank you for your review. We apologize for the experience you had with the auto pay system. However, the issue with your payment was that the credit card you had on file expired. We did try to reach you to update your payment information, but unfortunately we were only able to leave messages. I did forward your information to the ******** office in regards to your promotional vacation you mentioned. If you need any assistance with your membership, you are more than welcome to contact us at ************.******************* Director of *************************

  Worst Vacation ever. I made the mistake of signing up with this vacation club because they assured me I could go on vacation whenever I wanted. To date, I am yet to get approved for the dates I want even when I did it a year out. I called the 2nd in charge of Global Discovery Vacation, ******************* cell number is nine one three, six six zero, seven seven eight zero, and he was useless and very defensive as I explained to him my issues with how this company lied or withheld the truth about the procedures to request vacation time. BEWARE!!! I am retired military and I will tell you to stay far away from any presentation from this company.

  My husband and I have been members for 6 yrs and have only used it a few tines. We gave never been able yo get a place where we want or when we want. Now they are calling and telling us that we need to pay **** money to be able to go to the places we want. We gave been trying to go to ******, but due to covid they cancelled our trip two yrs in a row. Now we are being penalized for being long time members because if we want to go there we have to give them more money to be a plus member. What a racket! Then they give you 5 min to decide if you want to upgrade and if you want to think about it the price goes up! Ridiculous. Wish i had never joined, should have known it was a racket.

  My fiance and I won a trip through the ************************* in ***. We went to this seminar for Global Connections. My fiance thought it would be cool to try it out - I wasn't a hundred percent in agreeance, but I went ahead and opened a joint account with him. We have been calling to cancel this account. I've sent emails and have received NO response. The phones have a recording on it during the stated business hours saying that they are closed. We cannot get in touch with anyone from this establishment, but they are still steadily taking our money and applying membership fees ($450) even though we have been trying to reach out with no success. We really want to cancel this account and we are realizing that we were scammed. No customer service, no way to connect with a live representative. It is atrocious how this company has mislead people and railroaded the majority. I will do everything in my power to get this account off our credit report.

  When I signed up with Global ****** Travel which is the ************** of Global Connections I was extremely skeptical. I looked at reviews on Global Discovery Vacations and they were awful!! Come to find out Global Discovery Vacations and the reviews based upon the program was an old inferior base. Last June I booked an ocean front unit in Kauai, I have now returned to Maui ocean front for $379 for the entire week. You cant beat $379 for the week. This program is 100% worth it. Best investment I have ever made in my life! Cheers!!
