Or maybe since the center is in TX, they can help me with a lifetime supply of "Texas Pete" hot sauce for only $1,500 plus product cost?
If they're legit, let me know immediately (or sooner if you can get the time machine started.) I've only got 23 hours and 42 minutes left on my "Please call" limit.
Thanks for the thread. It saved me from helping some pushy salesman learn what his mother does for a living.

The postcard is dated 1989! Interestingly, it came with another shady-looking money magnet letter. It's from "Saint Matthews Churches" (Scam Report: http://www.loper.org/~george/trends/2003/Apr/815.html) and seems to prey on the faithful's wallets. I guess these things like traveling together :D.

It's not a "take your money and run" scam, but you have to buy a lot of stuff through their service to make it worth what they charge.

Anyway, I'm sure there would have been a great deal of hidden fees if I were to try to take advantage of their services. Most products I searched for didn't actually have much discount, to tell you the truth... Oh, and by the way, you have to be a member just to CHECK prices... Ok, you've all had enough. Hope this helps.

Not taking any credit card with me my cousin signed for this kind of thing last year
Since the bus goes there anyway and hey, maybe I could get a stay at the Holiday Inn so I'll go. Is there some kind of raffle or something. The rep says more people go to the 2pm vs. 11 am session so if there is a raffle I'll make the effort to wake up for the 11 am session. If someone who went to the meeting (I swear I won't sign up for anything) could email me and tell me if there is a raffle, that would be great. Thanks

At first I was upset that I made this purchase, but then just a month after I purchased my membership, a friend of mine said, "Let's go to Vegas!" Well, through my membership we were able to book a big ass room for six people for something like $400 for the week. So, for the week in Vegas all of us paid only $70 each. Then, when I got married my wife and I were able to go on a crazy awesome honeymoon - one week on the beach in Miami ($200 for the room for the week) followed by one week on the beach in the Virgin Islands ($200 for the room for the week) followed by a week on the beach in Cancun ($200 for the room for the week). On that trip alone, the hotels we stayed at in Miami and the Virgin Islands were $150/night, so we saved $1600 there and our hotel was regularly $100/night in Cancun, so we saved $500 there. All told, just in hotel rooms on our honeymoon we saved $2100, which more than covered our $1500 membership fee.
This past year, over Christmas break, we again spent a week on the beach in Miami (same hotel, same $800 savings for the week), followed by a week in Orlando ($200 for the week) at a place that usually costs $100/night (for another $500 savings for the week). Thus, on our trip this past winter, we saved anther $1300. Looks like we're at a total of $3400 saved, for only our $1500 membership.
What's the matter? Don't believe me that it really is possible to get a quality hotel room at a good price? Just check out the company's website for yourself - www.networkdirect.com and click on the "Expressways" link. Alternatively you can use this link:http://65.118.102.63/GtP/NDI-EXP.asp?Page=1&Sortby=city&SortDir=&MM=NDI
As of this posting here are the first three listings from this page:
NDI66781 Destination: CANCUN (MX) Price: $199.00 Duration: 7/16/2005 to 7/23/2005 A Efficiency max 2 at IMPERIAL FIESTA CLUB Last Updated: 7/6/2005 1:42:00 PM NDI56006 Destination: KIHEI, MAUI (HI) Price: $199.00 Duration: 7/9/2005 to 7/16/2005 A 1 Bedroom max 4 at ASTON MAUI BANYAN Last Updated: 7/6/2005 1:42:00 PM NDI59695 Destination: NUEVO VALLARTA ((N/A)) Price: $199.00 Duration: 7/9/2005 to 7/16/2005 A 1 Bedroom max 4 at MAYAN PALACE NUEVO VALLARTA Last Updated: 7/6/2005 1:42:00 PM You will never stay at a five-star hotel through NDI, but they will put you in a quality hotel in a prime vacation spot for very little money. The listings for their expressways are pretty slim as of today (because it's the middle of the summer and prime vacation time), but check back in the middle of the fall or in the spring and they'll often have 15 to 20 pages of these week long resort stays available for only $200-$300.
In addition to the money I've saved myself, I've used my membership to get a room in Hawaii for my parents, reserved a room at a good price for a friend and his wife who when they went to France, and got a free hotel room for a week in Solana Beach, California.
This last part is something that has been forgotten by almost everyone that has been bitching about wasting their money on an NDI membership - when you buy your membership (for $1200 or $1500 or whatever you spent - I spent $1500) they give you a coupon that is good for a free week at any of their resorts. How many of those people who bitched even bothered to remember to use their free week of vacation? I bought my membership more than two years ago, and I have two things to say about the membership:
1) I love having the membership
and
2) the membership is only worthwhile if you have money and buy expensive things/travel
If you plan on being a broke-ass college student for your whole life, don't buy a membership. If you plan on making your first million by the time you're out of your out of your twenties (and don't tell me it can't be done - here are a just a handful of jobs in which you can make hundreds of thousands a year at a young age: stockbroker, mortgage broker, investment banker, entrepreneur, currency trader - there are so many jobs out there that will let a person who is motivated make a ton of money, but most people don't have the guts to take a risk. When I finished my MBA I got the lowest paying job in my entire graduating class $12K a year (all my classmates were laughing at me like crazy) to be a stockbroker. In no time I was making $20K a MONTH, and I've now moved to investment banking where I have a base salary in excess of $400K with bonuses that usually outweigh my base salary. Not bad for someone who finished last in his class as a graduate and an undergrad at state school).
