Additional Information

According to consumers, the company solicits clients by phone with an offer to obtain a prize vacation trip by attending a sales presentation on a Travel Club Membership sold by ATN. Some consumers report difficulty obtaining the travel club services purchased in the plan, indicating that offerings were restricted in location and time. Some clients report delays in providing refunds after contract cancellation. Other customers indicate that pricing did not reflect the savings outlined in the sales presentation. This company contracts with various marketing companies to contact potential clients to attend its sales presentations for its travel products. In exchange for attendance, the customer is offered a gift vacation. Typically, the gift will include an offer for a three day, two night trip, including hotel accommodations and airfare. Hotel and airline taxes and ticket delivery fees are not included in the gift. The company's conditions of use of the gift requires the user to sign a 'Gift Acknowledgement' indicating they understand and accept the terms and conditions of the gift and to submit a good faith, refundable $50 deposit directly to the supplier of the vacation upon making a request to travel. The deposit is returned upon completion of travel, according to the firm. Restrictions on scheduling times and destinations exist. Consumers report that the Virginia office has closed.
