Shell Vacations Club is a definite scam that

the state of California just turns their head.

I have heard their presentation and they do

indicate a 30-day grace period to cancel.



You need to continue to contact the Consumer

Fraud section of the Attorney General's office

until they do something about this scam.

I encourage everyone that owns points with Shell to stop paying their maintenance fees. save your money!!! there is nothing you can do but this will hit them where it hurts in their bank account not yours! they can take their stinking points and guest who has to pay the maintenance fee? the developer or owner of Shell! Yeahhhhh!



Stop supporting those leaches and quit paying already!!!

Shell Vacations Club is a Scam. We bought into this to get a nice vacation every year. Except there isn’t enough points to go every year. We pay $3400 in payments plus $700 in “maintenance fees” ($4100/yr)and had to bank 2 yrs worth of points ($8200) to go on a 4 day vacation to San Diego. For the same amount, you can also get a 3day cruise to Ensenada, Mexico. This same cruise if you pay in cash is approx $500, not $8000. They tell you that you can sell it like real estate. You cant even give it away. The resale is like less than 10% of what you paid for it. That’s worse than some old mobile home. We went on a dinner cruise in San Diego with our points and when we got there to board, they had never heard of us. I wound up paying again just to have a nice dinner cruise while we were on vacation.

Maintenance fees on a right-to-use timeshare? I don’t know what you are maintaining!

Avoid this timeshare scam, it will only leave you broke and broken-hearted!!!!
