Looks like a scam. If I was closer, I would probably say it smells like one also. This is like the drawings you enter at Home Shows and the likes where you are in a raffle and you are "the lucky winner but you need to take this offer now or it goes to the next guy" AKA everyone gets a call and they try and sell you this vacation for next to nothing which in all reality is actually expensive.

But call the number, what do you have to lose except 10-15 minutes.

I almost bet anyone can call that number, say they got it in the mail, and get in on that "free vacation"

I would imagine it is a scam and/or time share thing.

I wonder how they came up with Allegiant and Us Air lol

Vacation Choices & Leisure Compass is the same company. I worked for this company as a telemarketer and probably talked to some of you on this post. And they send out 2 Round Trip Airfares, 2 Round trip Cruises, Hotel stays, ipad etc.

** This is a warning not to call the phone number on the postcard ** If you call on the phone number and you hear Vacation Choices and/or Leisure Compass hang up. I'll give you 3 reasons not to call or hang up.


1. The company looks for people who want to sell their timeshare and want to trade them in for an over priced travel club membership. Warning; don't do it, you end up paying them for your timeshare and you pay for a travel club that doesn't save money.

2. Warning; The travel club membership is not as advertised at the seminars, the price savings (travel reservation savings) sales reps promised are inaccurate. In fact, Vacation Choices & Leisure Compass reservations/ travel arrangements (in Lacey, WA) is runned by a 3rd party company in Florida and the price savings sales reps promised. (ie if you call the number and say your a member and want to book a vacation they will give you a different 800 number)

3. I worked at Vacation Choices / Leisure Compass and I know the scam and the truth of the company. Don't chase after fools gold and save yourself the stress.

Moved to Free Travel Contests and Sweepstakes. Not exactly a contest, and probably not free due to the "reservation fees", nut perhaps the same company sponsors other contests.

hehhe no thanks...ill skip it.

Not genuinely a travel contest or sweepstakes, but rather a timeshare sales / transfer related offer. Now closed, but left for the record.

One of several scambook.com entires states, in tart:

=I went to a vacation club presentation and received certificates for a cruise and airfare, I needed to send in $498.00 for the cruise and $100.00 for airfare reservations....

the OP never did receive the dates for his cruise and air transportation, and the company refused attempts to communicate; no cation in over 10 months. Caveat emptor, and certainly not a FT allowed "contest".
