Global Services Network: An Inexpensive Way to Vacation
Cincinnati, OH 45218
United States of America
Which brings us to those alterations to our vacations that come about that help save on money. Maybe you take the family camping and stay in a tent, or stay with family, whatever the case many people wish they could afford to take their loved ones to places like Disney World or Cancun without having to worry about money being spent the whole time they are there. That is where Global Services Network comes in and helps alleviate those problems.
Yes this is inside information, I used to work for this company a few years ago when it was actually $89 for an entire week. My brother is enjoying the rays in Charlotte, North Carolina working for them today. So everything you read from here on out is first hand information with the best options for you to utilize to give you the vacation that you have always been looking for. By chance you have had many of those already, why not have that many more and save money along the way.
There are only a few locations that are available at the present time in Macon, Georgia, Charlotte, North Carolina, Baltimore, Maryland, Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio. Its corporate headquarters are located in Overland Park, Kansas with occasional satellite offices scattered in other states. Also if you know of any members of this company already they are allowed to host "home shows" where a representative such as my brother will come and present the program to a group of people. Anyways you get the picture so let me give you the information you've been waiting for.
The idea of the company is to save you on your accommodations and put you in a nicer place for less money. Just think for a moment if you want to stay in a resort it is going to cost you anywhere from $1000-$5000 for a week depending on where you are staying and the low end is if you find some great deals. Even if you stay at a nice hotel that can run you $500-$4000 for an entire week again depending on the same as previously mentioned. So $98 for a whole sounds enticing right?
Here is how it works. Global Services Network is a member based service that is a cross between a timeshare and a travel agency. When you purchase a membership which varies in price depending on how many weeks you need you will have the ability to stay in virtually any resort that RCI and other resorts companies have available. What they do is barter and trade with the timeshares that GSN owns to be able to give you the resort you are looking for. Now while all that sounds great don't be trying to get Atlantis during peak time when there is a waiting list and then getting disappointed when you can't. Or if you are into bikes and want to go down to bike week in Daytona its just not going to happen. Oh and if you have a timeshare they might even let you trade it in and get rid of those pricey maintenance fees.
They have monthly plans available to make it affordable depending on the package. I'm not going through all the statistics, but the point is its affordable, you get to stay in unbelievable places at $98 for a week, and your saving a ton of money. There are weekend deals, flight arrangements, car rental services, cruises, and even a buyers club for discount on anything from vehicles to toasters. Its kind of like a one stop shop for everything.
I have no affiliation with this company anymore except for my brother working for them in Charlotte. In saying this he will not benefit from this article as you can only become a member by going to a presentation either at one of these offices or sitting in on a home show. There is not even an Internet purchasing system, and although they do have a website it is for members only so you will not be able to access it until you one of their representatives show it to you or you become a member of Global Services Network.
The job itself was very enjoyable as there is nothing like putting a family on vacation that have never been able to afford it before, or saving other families tons of money that they can spend on souvenirs and other accessories for their children or themselves. I think one of the best things was that they have separate discounted programs for individuals that have a job that makes a difference in the world such as anyone in the military, teachers, nurses, doctors, etc. etc. I still think that is awesome. Until Next Time..................

Post a Commentas with everything you buy there is going to be good and bad,this is no exception,it depends on who sold you th epackage and what they told you many sales people are dishonest!!!
just wish there were more pet friendly places on the lists
well we bought our travel package in south carolina the sales person was very nice and did not try to haggle us or trck us?
i have never had any trouble getting any where,i wanted to go,but you have to plan ahead.
the places you stay are 5 star resorts,and are very nice!!!!
for example i can get an ocean front resort at myrtle beach,for my 96.00 use one star,if i go through,the owner of the condo it will cost me over a thousand dollars for a week.
i used 2 of my stars for 2 of my daughters friends and they went to hawai for 2 weeks,they had a great time and loved it,i say its worth it
Hi,I am a GSN travel club member sense 2004,i have it now and do not use it wither do not have the monty or time,but i hate to have it here,is there any way that i can get use out of it and just rent out the condos?its $389.00 to use it for a year,then $98.00 for a value week world wide,that means,hawaii,mexico,canary islands,etc.i am a 5 star member so i can use a star and just pay
98.00 for a week in europe.its a great way to vacation if you are able to.
any advice from anyone would be apreciated!!!
Thanks,
RebeccaBlack
Why is every one saying no free lunches?
GSN is saying I'LL GIVE YOU FREE
They will take every penny they can pump out of you and you will receive paper work and BROKEN PROMISSES I CAN'T BELEIVE THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINES I THINK WE ALL NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND FILE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND RUN THEIR BUTTS OUT OF TOWN.BY THE WAY THE SALESMEN DO GET FREE LUNCHES THEY ARE ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!
GSN is a joke bought a package in 2001 paid on this untill mach 2003.They claim still owe over 5000.00 in which the package was only 3800.00.
After the presentation they take you one at a time to do the sell I was told you could lease house boats for vacation its a joke they will say anything to sucker you in try the buying club everything I requested was never available every resort I tried to stay in was never available but my money was avaiable now its on my credit report I guess for 10 years when you try to talk to them they are out to lunch my advice is stay away don't give them a chance its a scam from the very beginning
I would like a phone number %28and not the one that is on the the fake airline tickets they give you at the 90 min. prescitation%29 If any one has any kind of information please print. very pissed. posted on Sept. 16 2009 6:35 pm
Well. Im a sales Rep in the cincinnati office. And have used this program on several occasions. And this is a treat. The resorts are luxurious and the amount of money you save is absolutely intriguing. instead ofpaying to go on vacation im paying for my vacation
I had an experience with these people on September 20, 2008. If you don't purchase one of their packages they practically throw you out of there. And the incentives...don't know if you will ever receive them.
It's not a timeshare. You are not responsible to pay annual fees for upkeep of "your place".
You pick where you want to go each year and pay an "Annual Activity Fee".
Mine is $359.00 paid to GCI (Global Connection, Inc ). My original contract cost me a couple thousand.
I've had them refer themselves as GSN (Global Services Network) Overland Park KS, as NDI /DBA GSN, GSI Inc/PCS Corp Global Services Inc. www.gsntravel.com
Because of being Military I was unable to use my benefits. You are not required to pay the annual fee in years you won't be using them.
I revceived a card in the mail telling me I'd won this vacation, etc., and when I called the woman kept saying "we're not a timeshare" but I guess that was a lie? I'm supposed to go hear the spiel on Friday, but am thinking this is a waste of time. Given my schedule (active duty) I have to take vacations at certain times with little flexibility. Can anyone offer an opionin as to whether this is even worth it? I'm sure the free trip has it's own strings - what are the taxes? And why offer 7 day car rental but 2 nights hotel? Are there numerous blackouts for the flights?
