My husband recently found out he had 'won a luxury holiday through a firm called Club La Costa (Part of Ambassador Holidays).
We were due to go to a meeting of some sort on Friday to find out more information about the holiday we had 'won', so me being the skeptic that I am decided to do a bit of research.
I found out that they are a time-share company and what we would actually be going to on Friday would be one of their sales pitches.
I found a few articles, including one in the Guardian about the way they operate (the holiday's not entirely free, you have to pay a £50 booking fee and have to be earning a certain amount to qualify.)
I just wondered if anyone had ever actually been on one of these holidays, or if it really is a scam. I'm all for giving someone the benefit of the doubt after all.
