Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated review: Their vacation club / timeshare

I'm reaching out because my family and I have been dealing with some frustrating issues with our timeshare. We jumped into this with high hopes after hearing all the great benefits that were promised during the sales pitch. Sadly, things haven't turned out as expected. We sat through a long session where we were convinced this was a perfect fit for us. But it turns out, to get what we actually want, we had to spend even more money. Even after that, booking a vacation has been a nightmare. The experience hasn't matched up with what we were told, and it's costing us more than anticipated. When we tried to discuss getting out of this agreement because it simply isn't working for us, we hit a wall. We were told that we needed to pay everything off first before any assistance could be offered. This just doesn't sit right with us, especially after everything we've already been through. We really need this situation to be resolved in a way that doesn't put more financial pressure on us. We were hoping for a straightforward, enjoyable experience, and it just hasn't been that. We would not suggest you get involved with a contract like this.
