Everybody has right to speak out their feeling, that is not biased.

Here is the fact:
I bought it last year for $13750 for 25000 points per year. This year, I have paid maintenance fee, RCI membership fee, PTP membership fee for ~$800, It has turned out to be nothing that they claimed it would be.

This year is my first time use it, they used 2 weeks calculate when they sale this to me, but it can only stay half week. In May , I booked (within 45 days last minute deal) 3 day salt lake city stay, it is only a bachelor room, cost 18000 points, plus $88 transfer fee and $44 cleanup fee. If book same room from hotel website, cost only $100, at the time I stay there, they on sale for $79 per night, but I add up paid $900+ this year, $300+ per day for this 3 nights trip.

I should have read this thread before I pay. I am very angry about the false pretense sale of points to points, it is not a fare trading in Canada. I have filed complain to BBB, also going to sue this company.

I can help now....

Two Albertans face a whopping 192 charges in a million-dollar time share fiasco that left dozens of buyers out in the Canmore cold.

The charges stem from a three-year provincial investigation of time share operations at Chateau Canmore Resort and the nearby Banff Gate Mountain Lodge and Spa in Harvie Heights.

Mike Berezowsky, a spokesman for Service Alberta, said buyers signed contracts that stipulated the facilities were held in trust.

“This should have protected consumers if the businesses became insolvent, however it is alleged the stipulation was false,” said Berezowsky.

The business operators defaulted on their loans and lenders took foreclosure action on both facilities.

By February 2010, the time share arrangement had altogether collapsed, effectively locking out buyers who could no longer access their units.

The 59 buyers who lodged complaints lost more than $1 million in the deal.

After a lengthy probe, authorities this week filed charges against Chateau World Vacations Inc., its director Kim Schram of Edmonton, and Andre Muran of Canmore, who operates Properties International Ltd., Royal Crown Resorts Ltd. and Royal Club Resorts Inc.

Combined charges include 168 criminal counts of fraud over $5,000 and 24 Fair Trading Act charges of misleading or deceiving consumers, misrepresenting a consumer’s rights, remedies or obligations, and using exaggeration, innuendo or ambiguity of material fact in a consumer transaction.

Penalities under Alberta’s Fair Trading Act, which prohibits businesses from misleading or deceiving consumers, includes up to two years in jail and a maximum fine of $100,000 or three times that which was obtained through the offence, whichever is greater.

Muran and Schram are scheduled to appear in a Calgary courtroom on Thursday.

Rules concerning time shares have been strengthened in Alberta since November, 2010, when new regulations came in to effect.

PTP Ripoff

I bought from PTP last year. I as the rest of you received a letter stating PTP was merging with VI.
I did not merge.
I was not interested in paying more money to VI and taking a chance of getting ripped off again.

I do know that whenever I've tried to get a unit there, it's off season where its bloody cold at that time of the year, but if you can get a place there in the summer it spectacular!

I can not believe that after 2 years that the blatant ads posted are still up not to mention all the shill posters that followed and got away with it.
