I had a call from these jokers yesterday. I figured it was worth resurfacing the thread as a warning to anyone else in the same situation.
My 1 year long membership lapsed in June. I had a great run, used almost all the benefits and gave the rest away. I knew I wouldn't be making the most of it this year, so didn't renew - despite the 3-4 phone calls around renewal time.
Received a call out of the blue yesterday, offering the world - including lots of emails, foundation member status, a free 2 night voucher, club access all around, and an apparent coughload more for the $299. I was never going to make a decision on the spot (despite the sales guys wishes) but I was definitely interested in the apparent benefits, and suggested that if he could send me an email with the additional benefits on offer, I'd consider that night, and he could call me back tomorrow.
That was met with mild resistance to start - 'What of the benefits aren't clear or don't you understand'? It got to the point where I just said 'I'm interested. But I won't buy now, so unless you put them in writing to me by email, I won't be.' At that point the guy just hung up!
So essentially, the PP sales guys would rather lose a sale than have to put their supposed extra offers down in writing - the only conclusion it's possible to draw from this is because they won't actually deliver on the promises being made.
