Zero customer service! Worst company ever! I’m trying to cancel this and it won’t let me! You can only transfer it to a family member or try to sell it somehow!?! So very dissatisfied!

We sat through their presentation for well over an hour. We were supposed to receive a FREE vacation of our choice....lol It was by far NOT a free anything. They want you to sign up and pay a reservation deposit of an unknown price. Then within 10 days they send an email to finalize your itinerary. Then you have to pay a "promotional certificate charge" depending on what vacation. One was $198, another was $150 and so on. Then you have to pay another fee ranging anywhere from 150 to 259 per person for the taxes and other fees. Then you can book your trip but have to wait 30 days after and cant be 7 days before or after any major holiday. Lastly you dont choose airfare.....they do so im guessing layovers.

Do not fall for their unethical sales practices. This is a total rip off. Worst mistake of my life. Misrepresentation of travel; misrepresentation of money. Horrible people. Don’t do it … please do not do it!!

Let me start by saying I cannot be more disappointed in this company. They advertise on their postcard a free cruise and flight you have to participate in a one hour zoom conference where you cannot even look away cause if you do you’ll get dropped we fell for the scam and paid over $7000 with our credit card for the membership immediately afterwards we wanted our free cruise. Needless to say they’re affiliate. The one associated with the cruise company took another $200 from us. We had to call them over three times in the next seven days for them to get back to us with the cruise. Turns out they want an additional $1600. Basically I could’ve gone online and got a cruise for that amount without having to pay the $7000 membership fee I disputed the charge but I didn’t read the fine print so I lost the dispute. I’m 100% disabled American veteran on a fixed income. This is not right and here we are one year later they’re trying to charge my account another $249 where the lady was super rude a company called Peachtree renewals. I told them do not charge my card to cancel my membership. I’m simply going to have to assume the loss of the 7000 and something dollars that I paid plus the 200 deposit for the cruise that I never got, I will never ever recommend this company to anybody. This is all a scam and somebody is making money on the backend, high pressure sales misleading information a lot of different people throughout the United States working from home are the ones that service your calls like the old saying goes if it’s too good to be true then you know it is their cruises are just like retail cruises. The only thing you really get a discount on is their relationship with hotels and it’s really not that much Shop around before you commit to this. I’m really disappointed. I really am.

This company is not honest. I suspect it does not exist any more and is a front for another more established entity that creates a new named vendor every year or so to avoid comments like this. Brio Vacations promised us a lifetime membership and with no annual fees. They promised significant savings over list prices for cruises, resorts, condos, hotels, etc. This is absolutely not the case. I can show you how with cruises the prices on their site are EXACTLY the same as those on the cruise line sites. They will say, "you will get a rebate in the mail". We took our Virgin cruise booked through them and no rebate. When I call, I now get a generic company (not BRIO) which cannot find record of my rebate and just says "oh well". As far as prices for other vacation accommodations, Brio prices are easily beat with many other services that do not cost you extra to belong. When I call into their vacation call center, they give me a number for Brio that is out of order (828-785-4554). In addition, when we bought our membership we were assured that if we "act now" we will have a lifetime membership we can share with others that will never cost us another cent. Now we are being told if we don't "renew" in a few weeks we lose our membership after 1 year. Well, I'm a dumbass for signing up and paying these folks anything and I'm hoping my experience will lead others to avoid this type of scam. Don't even go to the presentation as they will just lie to you and pressure you. Doesn't matter if the name is Brio or Endless Vacations, or RSI, yadda-yadda. Keep your wallet firmly in your pocket and save your precious time by not even attending. No vacation club, timeshare etc. is anything but a gigantic scam and this one is particularly bad. Honestly, I hope someone benefits by my dumb decision and learns from my mistake. Good luck folks and remember there is no free lunch!

When my husband and I were ‘invited’ to a zoom call to receive a free cruise I should’ve known better. We listened to 60 minutes of self praise about Brio and were convinced to join. Since that time, 9 months ago we have learned how horrible the offerings are. We have been unable to use the travel plan due to lack of availability and exorbitant costs, easily beat by Airbnb. So incredible disappointed. On top of poor offerings, the company charges fees for online monthly payment so we have to nail a check each month to pay the balance. I refuse to pay off balance e now due to such disgusted feelings I have for this scam and my stupidity for ‘falling for it’.
