Okay, so I went and sat through their "90" minute presentation... was more like 2 hours...anyway the first thing they did was sit me down with a sales rep (Mel) who would try to explain who they are... although truthfully I think our Mel didn't know who they were either. No buisness cards given out, no phone numbers to contact them nothing. After the Mel gave me his overview of the company, as well as his life story, a guy by the name of "Craig" went on to try and explain that the company is not an agent or a timeshare or any of that. That they are the equivelent of like a SAMS or BJ's wholesale club. There are no free trips.. in fact it costs you anywhere between $5995 - $8995 to become a member with $299 annual fee that gets collected. Craig went on with his presentation of how they have been in business since 1995 and have over 189,000 members and the benefits of their service. In the end he said if you are here for the free trip, there is no pressure to buy their membership enrollment and everyone can part friends. Well after Craig was done with his presentation Mel returned to "get my agreement to join"... I politely said not interested and that the costs and questions in my mind simply did not give me a positive feeling. He offerred other packages at lower costs to try and entice me and then came another guy to see why I was not interested. His name was Phil. Now I told Phil the same thing I told Mel... that the financial aspects of the initial fee and annual costs did not feel comfortable to me..I mean after all we were meeting in a meeting room that was reserved at the Bally's Casino & Hotel. In the end they gave me brochures for the free gifts and told me that within 30 days I would have to submit payment for the reserved airline tickets and cruise. For me and my wife this was a Money Order requested of $598 to be sent to a Philadelphia, PA office. Oh yeah they asked me to initial a document that says that they are not connected/affiliated with the company in Philadelphia and that any issues I have with them cannot be held against Blue Water. I did overhear at least 2 couples who agreed to sign-up for the service. By the way if you signed up for the service they wanted to charge it all via credit card right there or have you make a downpayment via credit card followed by a subsequent payment schedule.. I walked away with the brochures and went gambling in the casino with the $40 I had in my pocket. My wife and I had a better time doing that then sitting for 2 hours for someone to tell me I have to send a Money Order to "Away We Go Promotions" of course I could contact the organization Away We Go Promotions at 18779946292 or via email and they would take care of me. I called the number and they have an address located at 2 Split Rock Drive, Cherry Hill, NJ. But they do not allow walk ins and cannot accept any other form of payment other than Money Order.
