holland, read the fine print about the "free" trip. Below is an alarming exerpt:
Receive round-trip airline tickets from select departures to a choice of one of the specific destinations listed within the vacation brochure that you will receive with your 2 FREE airline ticket voucher, provided the hotel accommodations are purchased through Vacation Ventures, Inc. (VVI) for the minimum number of consecutive nights stated. Please allow 4-6 weeks delivery time. Free airline tickets are provided through Vacation Ventures, Inc. Vacation Ventures, Inc. is registered with the state of FL as a seller of travel, registration no. 10077. Some restrictions may apply.
You have to book the ticket ahead of time only to where they tell you, book at their hotel (likely at rack rate) for who-knows how many days.
You need to wait 4-6 weeks for the voucher to arrive, but have only a 30 day window to cancel membership.
