While at a baseball game with my husband, I was approached by a Welk rep who was offering a free stay in Las Vegas if we attended their presentation. At the presentation, I was told that this membership would give us the best and cheapest options available to vacation and that we could travel internationally at no additional cost. This all sounded amazing, especially given the champagne they were giving us! There is so much that the salespeople left out during the presentation that we did not learn until after the fact. For example, we were told that this was a tax write-off, yet we have never been able to do so. These employees have never been truthful with us and now that we are in this situation of their making, they will not help us resolve it! What kind of customer service is that?

While at a street fair in San Diego, we spoke to a representative from Welk that was offering a ton of incentives for visiting one of their resorts. When we arrived at their Lake Tahoe resort, we were taken directly into a sales presentation where they started telling us about the amazing benefits of being Lawrence Welk owners. The sales staff led us to believe that we needed to make a decision before we left, so we accepted one of their offers, believing that this would allow us to fulfill our dreams of travelling the world. Since we returned home, we learned that nothing that they told us was true. We have been unable to make reservations as our membership did not qualify. We were never told that there were restrictions to these bookings! When we booked our alleged free cruise, there were so many out-of-pocket fees that it cost more than it would have been to just pay cash for the trip. To make it worse, this was cancelled due to COVID and it took about a year to get our money back! What kind of company is this??

**Please Don’t Be Taken Advantage Of** Welk Resorts paints of very enticing picture of lush family vacations that are hassle free. However, this is NOT the case. They scam sign-ups for over paid vacations that require hours of frustrating phone calls and re planning rejected vacations over and over. Almost all vacations YOU choose are not available and the Bonus weeks are a false marketing strategy that ultimately you cannot use. Their tactic is to say if you just buy more, to the next level you will have the perfect vacation platform. It is a lie and they make millions off of it. The worst part is that once you sign up…your stuck and they know it.
