I am a sucker!
There. I said it. Why would I say that? Because I am also a Club Intrawest member. The two are inseparable. The purpose of this blog is to slowly expose what Club Intrawest does to people with their deceptive and fraudulent (in my personal opinion) business practices. I can state this and they cannot order me to take this down because it is my truth.
As with all writing though, in an attempt to remain as unbiased as possible, I will refrain from writing when I am angry. The next post will discuss how we got into the mess we are in and expose the facts about Club Intrawest and also hopefully help people understand what they are really buying into.
To begin with though, here is a piece of advice. If you still really want to be a Club Intrawest points member after reading several of the existing members statements such as those below, DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE and definitely DO NOT BUY from Intrawest direct. Our membership cost over $30,000 with taxes and extras by the time we were done. You can easily buy the same package (160 points, recurring annually) for less than 1/3 of that on the open market as they are people who are desperate to dump their points. I have seen points advertised for sale as low as $7900 for basically the same package Club Intrawest charged me $30,000 for.
Before you do buy, I would encourage all of you to read these:
Ripped Off by Misleading Sales Pitch
Deceptive Business Practices
Unavailable Services
Complaint Class Action Lawsuit
UPDATE: Through a very complicated series of steps, we were able to sell it. We netted less than $7,000 CAD. If you think Club Intrawest is a good deal, talk to at least five current owners before you make a decision. We were lucky to get anything out of it. We were lied to and cheated. Be warned.
