Complaint Review: Branson’s Nantucket TRUSTED Business | Ripoff Report Verified Safe™ …businesses consumers can trust. Branson's Nantucket is located in Branson Missouri overlooking beautiful Table Rock Lake nestled in Heart of the Ozark Mountains. Vacation Ownership at Branson’s Nantucket offers vacationers an opportunity to save on the increasing costs of vacation accommodations while enjoying all the comforts of home in a resort setting.

  First of all, this company misrepresents the RCI product by telling you that you can use 10,000 points for a one week vacation when in reality, through RCI, it takes at least 25,000 to 30,000 points for a one week vacation, unless you want to choose from leftover inventory at undesired resorts 30 days or less Secondly Nantucket invites its owners back to the sales floor after not being able to make vacation reservations or use the product only to fraudulently & illegally make them assume if they upgrade and spend more money at Branson's Nantucket that they will use their presently "owned" product for marketing new owners and pay them a certified check by registered mail, once a year or twice a year between $3,000-$6000 .

Nantuckets in-house director, Larry Ainsworth is very good at delivering this message and has delivered to several thousand people for the last two years , a promise for financial gain that is a bold lie. Ainsworth and General Manager, Frank Blackateer, are both on board with this lie and rental scam pitch. Both go as far as saying that they are approved by the real estate board commissions and that the real estate board gave them certain stipulations, such as monitoring only 22 owners allowed in, etc..., which is ridiculous and untrue. Both also state that they want to assure that everybody is getting paid. I can assure you that nobody is getting paid unless they go to the Attorney Generals office and file a formal complaint.

To my knowledge still not receiving payment only cancelling there new agreement while still leaving them in there old unusable program and days and hours of waisted vacation time headache and frustration. Ainsworth and Blackateer also go as far as saying that they are going to pay you the first year or so upfront off of the price , they have already packed or added to, then taking that cost back off and still selling you at a retail price, most of this product they sell you is a triannual which means you will only have enough points for maybe one week in that size unit every three years but yet they say that it's an annual because they will give you one third of the total points once a year which averages to about 2 1/2 days a year or they will sell you an every other year biannual long story short you still won't have the product that there miss leading you on .

Until you come back next year after not getting what you want or being unable to make a reservation or being unable to get your phone calls returned by Mr. Larry Ainsworth or Frank Blackateer. If you agree to another package deal at a cost then they finally agree to find you some inventory once you agree to do another presentation and be solicited with more lies . Some of the sales reps are onto this but are forced to do it for their jobs are at stake and are made to have presented with rental pitch by management Larry Ainsworth .when I was employed there they also cut our pay three times without any acknowledgment and good service reps as myself that never needed to misrepresent this product only education, were told that they had to and it was a job requirement that everybody heard Larry Ainsworth's rental pitch .

He will have you sign a Manager sponsored rental program acknowledgment but at the time of signing the document .it states there's no guarantee of any future compensation but after him earning your trust you believe the story he's telling you that he is going to pay you for the next 8 to 10 years or until they are sold out of inventory . Hes very conniving and good about twisting the verbage on the form to get you to sign what he tells you it means it's not actually what is written . He will also do a little drawing and show you false reports the people in this rental pitch are getting paid three to $6000 and that the company is doing it because it closes 54% success rate using your program or points instead of a normal 20% he says when they get when they use a hotel known as the Château on the lake to place their own referrals in when they come into town to stay for a presentation .

They are not using the Château on the lake for marketing and to my knowledge never have . He states that they pay you $209 an night versus paying the Château $259 as it saves his company $50 per reservation which is a lie. Ainsworth states that he had to go before the real estate commission board to get this program approved to get you to trust them more another lie. He will also miss represent that they are taking 20% of your annual RCI points allocation each year to pay you the three to $6000 when actually they are not taking any points nor is any developer allowed to take any of your annual RCI points from your RCI acount .The points he presents as your left over 80% is your actual point allocation from RCI this is all a hoax and a scam that started with the deferred usage program where they were trying to pay people not to use their points at Bransons Nantucket during the winter seasons from November 15 to the end of the year and from January 1 to March 15 and they would pay you each year for the next 8 to 10 years or until they're sold out.

Beware of the scam I have heard it pitched many times as I refuse to pitch it myself this owner Kevin Knasel is aware of what's going on and is probably the biggest crook of all he owes many people architects and contractors and employers back paychecks unpaid commissions and reserves that he's held from their accounts and refuses to pay but instead fires and hires a new naïve employees promising them Financial security and a future the product itself looks nice but construction is very shabby and is managed by Frank Blackateer who has been in prison his self used to pose as a pastor and now thinks he's some kind of mob boss.

These guys are a joke and they're getting rich off the backs of their employees and elderly people who have a hope for game In a financial investment and taking from middle-class families who have a desire for travel and vacations with their family but sell them a product that's nearly impossible to achieve whats been told to them. If you have been taken from this company ,misrepresented or involved in a rental scam ,I would encourage you to file with the attorney general's office immediately and the Better Business Bureau as they pride their self on paying off smaller complaints to try to keep a high BBB rating . There are class-action lawsuits that are pending right now and ones that are being started up from several employees and owners and people that were scammed .

If you have a timeshare currently do not let them list it for sale or tell you that they are trading you and giving you a large value for it .You will more than likely give up A full week of time share for a third of what you originally have with the limited product and less travel . You're not actually getting anything for your timeshare they are adding it to the price of their triannual or biannual and you were basically giving it to them for free or you will still end up owning your other one and just purchasing this one and you will have Two maintenance fee bills .Not alone all of the charges for the shabby trade company that you will have to pay anyways from signing their documents at time of purchase or transaction .
