i asked for a brochure or something with more information and they refused. information comes after giving creditcard number for acceptance of the offer.

that was the deal breaker for me.

I got the exact same offer after filling out a trip contest last year.
I told the guy on the phone that wining means free and I was'nt gonna pay for chit.

Its a scam

Where I worked, they called it a 'familiarization trip' where you pay the basic fees and they give you the rest free so you can experience their facilities in hopes for repeat business.
