Scammers- The first person told me she was from Southwest Airlines and that I would get two free tickets anywhere in the US, just for visiting their new reservation center near me. I am always skeptical of incoming calls, and my suspicions increased when she transferred me to her manager to get additional information. The manager indicated I had won two free tickets valid for any airline in the US. I pointed out the discrepancy and I asked which company she was with. She said, "Preview Travel Center." So, I looked it up and found all these reviews. I said, "While you were speaking, I just looked up Preview Travel Center online." She immediately hung up. The phone number they used for the call was spoofed, and the phone number given by Kim the manager, 602-935-0294, seems to be a valid phone number, but it's answered by a digital screening system. read more

Scam. They called me and said I was chosen as a winner for some for that I supposedly filled out. They could not tell me when or where I filled out the form. I read other reviews that said this was a scam. read more

Total scam, the first call they offer you 3 prizes then wen they connect you to the manager the 3 prices changed, called him on that and got mad, and finally hanged up. read more

I won one of 3 top prizes; a TV, 2 night 3 day vacation, or A truck worth $50,000. I can also just take the $25,000 cold hard cash. We were selected from over 15,000 applications; we are one of 25 couples. They could not tell me when or where I Applied all they knew I filled out a coupon. All I need to do to qualify is be married or in some type of couple relationship,over 28 years old but not older than 70, and make at least $4,500 a month. If I qualify I'm invited to come to their office a scratch off a card to see which prize I win at no cost. All I need to do is listen to short presentation, its not a sells pitch they say, Its not a Time Share they assured me, and I do not have to buy anything just come and listen. The first lady told me that we could win a vacation to San Fransisco then connected me to her manager to get a secret password and confirm date and time to come get my prize. He told me the vacation was for Orlando and proceeded to argue with me. He said he had a recording that would verify what she said. I offered to hold the the line while he listened to the recording. He then asked me my age which I told him. I asked his age he is 25 he also makes $10,000 a month and is single. I told him he would not qualify for the prizes. He got mad or failed to see the irony. Unfortunately the call ended before I could schedule my appointment or get the secret password when he told me I needed to reevaluate my life then hung up. Hope they call back I still have so many unanswered questions. side note: go to the website linked here in Yelp. the first customer review they have posted is from Carolyn. Interesting coincidence the one 5 star rating is also from somebody named Carolyn. read more

This is a straight up scame. Don't bother. Oh, and all of the glowing five star reviews? They are certainly plants. Don't pass go. Don't give them your credit card information. Don't play...unless you are just wasting their time, then, have a ball. read more

Sent my deceased mother (2012) a 7 night Norwegian Cruise Line cruise for two. Father is also deceased (2013). Not happy with their record keeping in 2017!!! read more

Attended the presentation last Thursday while visiting family members in the area. I scratched off the 70 inch Samsung. Because I flew out there from Michigan I couldn't take it back home. Today I just had the Tv delivered by Amazon. I told them if they tv came with no strings attached I would put up several reviews!!! happy and it didn't cost anything. read more

My name is Carolyn and I received a call saying that I was being awarded one of the top three prizes. I went and sat through a wonderful travel presentation and received my gift as promised. So a hour out of my time was worth it to come and receive my gift read more

Received a card during my birthday month saying I had won a free tablet and a $50 amazon gift card. The return address on the card is some defunct warehouse in D.C. The back says it is from GDC Preview Center in Garner. I called the number and a kid was screaming in the background and the woman just said "Hello" then corrected herself and started into her scam. Started asking questions about income and marital status. We hung up. Total scam although the card looks very official. read more

It looks this company is still at it. When I asked a lot of questions which he could not satisfactorily answer, he hung up on me.

Constant annoying phone calls promoting free cruises, vacations whatever , to get me into hear a timeshare promotion. Have asked them repeatedly to stop calling and no such luck.........rude, scammers. And no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If you get a call from 828-321-8025 don't answer. read more

Was called and told I had won a contest I entered on January 14th and the prize drawing was that night, should have known it was a scam. No mention over the phone of the timeshare presentation, only a drawing for 3 different prizes. A Ford Explorer, an all expense paid vacation, and a flat screen TV, guaranteed to win one of those. Had the afternoon free, so why not. Again, no mention of the 90 minute presentation for the "vacation club" or anything. It was a very well done call, he pretended to be reading from our "ballot" we filled out and helped me try and guess where I had "entered" this contest. Got there and it's a big open room in a strip mall. There's Grand Resort Travel posters all over the walls, rows of tables and chairs, and a bunch of men appearing to be used car salesmen waiting around. Had to prove I had a valid credit card to sign in, and no mention of a contest, only a "presentation" we had signed up for and were apparently interested in. We were brought to one of the tables by the head used car salesmen then introduced to a lower used car salesman. He was immediately abrasive toward us after sizing us up. Was appalled that our family only takes one vacation per year, and when we do we stay in substandard lodging. Attempted to explain what damage we were doing to our children with these terrible vacations. Got angry that we had no interest in the presentation and were wasting his time, and even indicated there's only one prize for the drawing anyway. Attempted to explain why we were there in the first place, but he seemed to truly believe we were there to drop several grand for some travel coupons. Got mad and went to get the head used car salesman to try and get rid of us, then he came to the table and told us if we didn't do the presentation we didn't get the "prize." We said sure, and the lower used car salesman came back. We spent a panful 90 minutes being presented with 8x10 collages of condos and hotels that real people saved an insane amount of money on. It was probably about 20 of them, and he said the same thing about each of them, over and over. Even did some math to show the percentages of money they saved. In between he continued insulting us regarding our poor choice in not taking enough vacations yearly. I guess the working poor in Asheville are capable of taking 4+ weeks of vacation every year. Who knew. After that nightmare he went to get head used car salesman to come close us. He was good cop I guess, but finally revealed the whole thing is buying into the program with a few thousand, then paying $159 yearly for some discounts on timeshares. He attempted to haggle, but we were finally released to do the "drawing." No drawing, we were given a scratch off card, and won the free* vacation. It's a choice of about 6 different lodging options at specific times and places, with enough taxes and fees to equal retail pricing. Yay. Also got the "$100 dinner gift certificate" we were promised over the phone. It ended up being a website where we could get a $100 gift card to a few different chain restaurants for the low low price of $97. I wish I was kidding. Luckily all we lost at that place was 2 hours of our time and a few thousand brain cells. read more

This is SUCH a scam, please don't waste your time. After receiving a mailer with a VIP Complimentary Casino Giveaway to Harrah's Cherokee Casino, I convinced my husband to join me for the 90-minute presentation. We took 2+ hours out of our day (we're local Asheville, so the drive to Arden wasn't bad) so that we could get the 1) Getaway 2) $100 Visa Giftcard & 3) $100 Dining Card. Bless his heart for joining me on this, he just saw the excitement in ME & left work early today so we could go hear the pitch. Walking into that "business" at 336 Rockwood Rd #107 felt like you could've been in one of those movies where the business is there one day, and GONE the next. There were about 5 used car salesman types sitting around waiting for their turn. That's when you're taken into the main sales area & given the talk. We KNEW going into it, that we weren't going to buy anything... but once he starts & then you see $159/year... you keep listening. There are tons of options for this NOT A TIMESHARE (they keep saying that) vacation sales pitch. Fast forward thru 75 more minutes of painful, HORRIBLE antiquated advertising for this gimmick... and then they bring out the price. It's $10K!!!! WTF?? BUT WAIT! You can sign today for only $3200, and then make monthly payments for the next 3 years of $300+/month. I'm going to stop here & jump to the reason I came. The consolation prizes. Remember that vacation & $100 VISA & $100 dining card promised? After reading the fine print, you can't get the $100 VISA until you make your 3-day vacation reservation.... remember how it was supposed to be FREE? There's a $198 Reservation Save The Date deposit (non-refundable) to book. So there goes the trip & the VISA card, but I still have the $100 dining card right? They claim to not have ANY control over what we're sent out for our gifts, that it's all on the marketing company (which after some research is CSNG). The grandfather of this whole scam is Grand Resort Travel. DO YOUR RESEARCH. The one that the girl at the desk said was good at chain restaurants like Chili's, Olive Garden, Outback etc.... once you get home & get on the website & enter your zipcode & info??? There's a few BOGO for the Cookie Co. in the mall, BOGO milkshake & Save $5 on your 2nd pizza at Pepperoni's after buying a full-price one. boo. I asked for the card, or contact info, of the owner. In the pitch, we were told that this small vacation co. was owned by a couple right here in Asheville. I feel so sorry for the employees that work here & every day have to lie to people... get a moral compass. You know the old saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably it." Should listen to those ol' quips every now & then. Now I'm spending my evening trying to save some other poor soul from being put thru the ABSOLUTELY AWFUL experience. I do have to say that the look on the managers face after he asked us how we were going to pay... and we said "We're not!" was priceless :) What a waste of time! @GDCVacations read more

Watch out. I got the "free round trip getaway" check in the mail for "$1,000." Avoid this place--any company that would send such a misleading promotion in the mail would be even worse if they get you in the door. read more

Total phone scam. I went along with it for a little bit until he got the sales manager on the phone who asked me a few questions and began to literally call me names.. ahahah has anyone call the police on the low life's yet? I mean there's and address on here read more

I am indian... and i can say they have poor indian people trying their very best "american" accents, and trying overly hard to sell you a spot. also if you don't earn 75k they will turn you down because they are trying to sell you a timeshare. If you get a call from preview center, i hope you see this review and waste loads of their time so they can't waste other ppl's time. Also, there is no prize only scratch off tickets. read more

I am the last person to give a business a bad review; however, morals and values dictate that I need do this. My wife and I received a letter in the mail, promising two plane tickets and a hotel stay. We called the number on the letter and was patched through to a call center. I spoke with John Warren, who described the process for me: sit through a 90 min presentation, and receive the reward. Simple. All we needed was a Credit Card and two forms of ID. My wife and I were skeptical - yet, we decided to try it out. We drove an hour and 45 minutes to Arden, NC. We arrived, and immediately was asked to fill out a form. This was an entire page length of information we gave them: names, phone numbers, email address, employers, employer's numbers, annual income, etc. We turned the paper in and then waited. Shortly after, a salesman came and introduced himself. His first question was: "who did you speak with over the phone?" I didn't know the name, and told him as such. This was his direct response: "Well, unfortunately he has mislead you. We, here, expect a certain income from our clientele. You currently do not meet our demographic for annual income of $75k and above. So, I cannot give you the presentation." Please hear me when I say, I've literally never been told in my life that I am too poor to receive a sales pitch. My wife and I are 30 and 32-years-old. I think, for our age and college degrees, we're doing decently well. But, no. We didn't meet the demographic for G.D.C Preview Center. We left begrudgingly and started to our cars. As we got into our vehicle, my wife reminded me of the form we filled out: "well, I guess they have all of our information now!" I promptly went back into the building and politely asked for our form back - yet, was refused. When I asked "why?" their blatant response was: "we sell these forms to marketing companies, and cannot give them back to anyone." So, congrats G.D.C Preview Center for so eloquently stealing and profiting from my personal information. I can already here the telemarketers calling. read more

We were invited to a presentation in Garner, NC and were told it would take only an hour. We were told it was about a travel program similar to Expedia. We were happy to consider it, plus also wanted the free airline tickets and hotel rooms...advertised as no restrictions on either. After the 2 hour presentation (!) by Mark, who got upset with us after we told him we were not interested, we were given a FORM to fill out to file for the free stuff which come with considerable restrictions and fees!!! This is a scam and is the newest form of "time shares" possible, even though we were constantly told it wasn't a time share. Even if they promise you a new car DON'T GO!!!! read more

We were told we were selected for a gift and came down to see presentation. Mark was initially nice as long as he thought we were going to purchase. When I told him at the end of his presentation that I had decided not to purchase anything today, his true unprofessionalism showed up. He abruptly and very rudely stated "well if you had told me that an hour and a half ago, I would have never showed you this". But a professional salesperson and someone who treats others with respect and acts like an adult as opposed to a child, would just accept that not everyone is going to buy. Also, had he handled himself appropriately, we may have bought in the future. That will obviously not happen. Lesson here is to just treat people the right way. read more

Went and got a 8 day cruise. Plus air fair and hotel for 4 day. April at front desk was awesome and Kim gave an out standing presentation. I loved it and they gave me a hell of a deal. We go on 4 cruise a year plus every where else. This one time cost is for a life time and my kids kids can benefit from it. Kim was awesome never have had a person selling to me like she did. She sure got me. I'm not easy either. Loved every min. read more

After reading the comments I called back and spoke to a rep and cancelled, but allowed the rep to talk me back into going. So he asked me if he is being truthful and I'm provided what he promised me would I post a comment positive comment because of the prior reviews. So I cant speak on others people post but me and my wife had a great time. I scratched off the TV and I was a little disturbed it was not there for me to take home so I called the rep and he promised me I would get it in 2 days from Walmart. Well it took 3 days no fault of the company. So I'm posting this just like I promised I would and to say thank you. I hope this helps others. read more

I attended the travel related presentation and it was about discounted travel, so why are people posting it is a timeshare when its not. I did make another post but I think someone is trying to hurt this company. I hope this help them out. Its assume how anyone can post what every they want on the internet read more

Upon receiving the "free 2 night casino stay" paperwork, it became abundantly clear that this offer was far from free, required financial outlay, was laden with restrictions, loopholes and caveats. All in all a dreadful misrepresentation of what would be offered in exchange for sitting through a weak attempt at a timeshare pitch masked as a "travel club". Total garbage. The marketing firm, the travel club, and this pathetic "incentive" outfit need to take a hard look at how their model is running. From the barely able to speak English marketer I first spoke with on the phone, to the poor washed up used car salesmen slobs trying to sling these memberships in ill fitting suits and terrible delivery, this whole outfit is a joke. Tonight was a complete and total waste of my time. The "Incentive" which was offered as a gift and which I believe is offered up from Spirit Incentives is drowning in fine print and ridiculous terms and conditions. It is obvious the benefits offered through "GDC preview center" are worthless if they are trying to get you into this circus with a bunk gift. read more
