I signed up for a Chateau World membership, which I was supposed to be able to exchange for RCI points.

RCI tells me they will not honour this because the "home resorts" that are under Chateau World (Banff Gate Mountain Lodge and Spa and Chateau Canmore) are bankrupt.

Then I found out that the Banff Gate Mountain Lodge and Spa is struck
Royal Club International is struck

Even though the banks are taking over the properties, these yahoos are calling demanding club dues!

It is a complete and total scam!

there is important information for victims of this scam at http://www.cheatauworld.ca
