DreamTrips Life is a new membership based travel club which promises that they can make it possible for anyone, who lives on any budget, to experience more and take world class vacations.
According to their video presentation available at VacationSooner.com, DreamTrips realized that people want to take amazing vacations and have “bucket list” experiences, but feel they can’t because of money issues.
So DreamTrips created a vacation club which could offer 5 star experiences to their members at 2 or 3 star prices. All you have to do is pay a one time activation fee of $200.00 and a monthly fee of $55.00.
How the Club Works
Using the same bulk buying strategies of companies like CostCo and Sam’s Club, DreamTrips buys tickets, books hotel rooms, and arranges experiences in large numbers so they can get discounted prices which they pass on to their customers, so they can then “Vacation Sooner.”
In addition, all the fees you pay to them are accumulated throughout your membership and then turned into Reward Points which can then be applied to Reward Trips. Every year on the anniversary of your sign up, you will receive 660 points. 1 point is equal to 1 dollar, and when these points are attributed to a trip, it will be discounted by that amount.
They also have an Online Mall, which features over 900 stores, including major retailers like Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and more. Each time you make a purchase at one of these stores through their Online Mall, a portion of the purchase cost will be added into a Vacation Bank for you and can be attributed to vacations you book at later times.
The Business Opportunity: Getting Started
Customers who choose can not only be Vacation Sooner members, but also representatives who can earn money by selling WorldVentures memberships to new members. All you need to do is pay a one time $99 activation fee and a monthly fee of $11.
Once you refer four active members – who maintain their membership – your monthly membership dues will be waived for as long as those members remain active.
After that, the earning matrix is dependent on how many members you sign up within certain periods of time. The video presentation does not mention monetary compensation; most of the compensation referenced is that of bonuses and sweepstakes entries.
If you are interested in becoming a vacation club member or a representative, or are looking for details about what recourse you have should you have complaints or issues with their trips or memberships, you’ll need to refer to their website or find an active representative in your area to get specifics.
Travel Club Controversy
Travel clubs do not have the best reputations, historically speaking, because of past trends with clubs taking members’ dues and then not honoring travel arrangements due to blackout dates and other limitations.
New travel clubs are trying to change these perceptions and create new understandings of their opportunities, though you will have to reach out to existing members to find proof of whether or not these new companies are worthwhile. Current members who are familiar with this organization are invited to please leave their reviews below.
Would you like to add your review for
1. No one involved in this organization is specific. They never say, "I'm taking a Trafalgar Tour to the Canary Islands for 9 days for $300 per person." They only say I'm going on vacation in three weeks for pennies. This same phrase is repeated over and over.
2. The answers appear to be written by very young (and often aggressive) people, or older people who seem financially desperate. Again, no specifics are given, only that they now own BMW's any fly all over the world.
Why not take the $1,000 you pay in the first year and put it towards a nice holiday?
look at what everyone does for a living and think of the amount you make. of course a lawyer can afford it, the family of the lawyer can afford it. kim, linda. if someone says that someone cant pay bills then why would you think this is for them? money is what Is paying their rent, food, etc... what money does this person have to pay ANY of it.
my kids' dad and I were talked to by a "worker" named nancy. today he went to a meeting. he of course is thinking of joining. me- never will I spend $ when my kids need shoes, clothes and food. ask me when was the last time their dad paid for any clothes and shoes? vacation sooner Is a scam to people who CANT afford it. if it was $5 then yes. because it's not then nope. and nancy's selling story wasn't a story. her husband and herself has good paying jobs. of course they can do it. one of their " members" named Elizabeth will go to her sisters for her financial help to pay this company because Elizabeth cant afford it. she thinks she can but she cant. Elizabeth has a job but its not a good paying one. my kids' dad has my family paying his bills. he took out a 401k to get Christmas presents and internet. taking out money to pay that money is just dumb so he can spend more money on this company while his kids don't have shoes, clothes. get real scammers.
A friend of mine contacted me about joining. I was told I would pay $360 plus $55 per month. After I sign-up 4 people I no longer pay a monthly fee. My questions are how much do you get paid to sign-up each person? If you continue to sign-up more do you get the same pay for each or does it increace? Also, is there an option to apt out if this dosent work out and would i get my money back? He was not able to answer these questions.
I did a bit of research on my own it does seems legit but I want to be clear on this before i decide to invest my hard earn money into something that I will regret.
