Anyone had heard of the above mentioned company?
It claims to be a exclusive club for people who travel frequently. They offer exclusive rates for 4 stars Hotel and major airlines. Their plans are
1) DHA - Discovery Hotel Adv
2) DAA - Discovery Airlines Adv
They will get telemarketer to call people, how they get the number is unknown. They claims they got it from lucky draw coupons that you enter.
They will tell you, as a VIP, they get to enjoy discount rates between USD$30 - 50 at 300 different hotels around the world. They will offer free gifts if they make an appt wif them to attend their presentation.
Throughout the presentation, they will show you what their VIP get to enjoy....the hotels tat you can get discount from. On top of tat, they will carry out a "survey" to understand your financial background. Like the no. of CC you have, ur credit limit, hw many saving acc u have and how much saving u hav currently. Tis i think is for them to identify potentail customer.
Blah blah blah....
In their presentation, they print VERY BIG, member subscription is only SGD$350 per year and in fine prints, a one time membership fee...
Guess the member ship fee....
SGD20k to SGD50k
And they ask a stupid qns, will you sign up as a member today?
No1 in the right state of mind will make a decision to part that kind of $, juz after a single presentation. Once i declare i not interested, they show me the door....
This thread is the warn ppl of this new "business" and help you not waste any time attending their presentation.
So far, bside me, any1 attended their presentation?

They take ur money and keep it but never register for you into the club...
Normally, they will get kiddos to do survey at orchard road or something... then they ask u scratch a card and u will win grand prize... normally all win grand prize.... inorder to take the prize muz attend 90mins presentation...
Places will be OrchardDelphi, The building in Orchard 1st flr got CITIBANK and wheelock Place and Ngee Ann City Tower B...

I went to this company (the building between Lucky Plaza & Paragon whereby there is a Rolex Shop) also but left before the 90 mins was up cos it was similar to what my colleague told me as he had gone to this kind of talk before so did not get the "attractive free gifts" which the telemarketing person said that they had to register with the sponsors.
So did u complete the 90 mins session & get the free gifts? How attractive are they? -
I just went to this Discovery 8 international office yesterday. As mentioned by the previous member, at the beginning they will inform us about the amount that we need to spend (about $350) which i think it was okay.Originally posted by sickofitall:I went to this company (the building between Lucky Plaza & Paragon whereby there is a Rolex Shop) also but left before the 90 mins was up cos it was similar to what my colleague told me as he had gone to this kind of talk before so did not get the "attractive free gifts" which the telemarketing person said that they had to register with the sponsors.

But after awhile, I asked them more detail about the program membership and it shocked me, because the amount we should spend is about 18K+++ (Crazy).
Luckily I keep on rejecting their offer and at the end i managed to "escape" from that building. For your information, the voucher given to you worth for USD$1000 is not true. First, you have to pay USD$10 in order for you to get the passcode before you can purchase the item. Second, they will not ship the goods because we are in Singapore (in other words, they can only ship the good for US/Canada teritory only).
My advise: Dont waste your 90 minutes time to go there and listen to their presentation, because is not worthy at all and you could lose your SGD18K+++ which you can invest for other things.
