Complaint Review: Holiday Inn Club

I was called on my cell phone while driving in a rainstorm by Holiday Inn to survey my reactions to Holiday Inn stays.  I was disconnected, the called back by a different person who high pressured a pitch for a resort hotel - Holiday Inn Club in Kissimmee, FL.  I foolishly agreed to a booking for some future stay at least a year away. I put a depost of $299 on my VISA.  When I got home I checked out the situation on the web and found it is a time share scheme.  

I called to cancel and get my deposit back and was told it was non-refundable.  I asked to speak to a manager and was refused.  I emailed both IHG and Holiday Club Vacations requesting a refund to my VISA and got no response. Research has revealed that dozens of people have been scammed by Holiday Inn Club.  The parent comoany claims sympathy but says they have no control.  Nonsense!! Shame on Holiday Inn and IHG for not correcting these ripoffs.
