At the end of June, I flew to Kyiv, a girl approached me in Tolmachevo and asked me to answer a few questions in order to improve the quality of air travel, the questions were very simple, my contact details were the real goal.

At the beginning of August, I got a call from SUNRISE C and was told that we had won a prize as part of a large advertising campaign, they cannot say exactly what prize,

or household appliances, or a home cinema, or an ipad, or the main gift - a week of holidays in Montenegro or Spain, or a super-prize car Toyota Land Cruiser200!

The conditions are:

be present with your spouse, have a passport, and have 3 hours of free time. During the program, representatives of the company will speak, talk about their activities, then we will receive our guaranteed prize and go home.

We don’t believe in fairy tales, of course, but here everything was so smoothly told, convinced, called back several times, you won’t undermine.

Of course, we did not believe it, but greed won. They decided it was better to make sure that they would not give anything, than to worry about a lost gift later.

My husband and I took time off from work on a working day, made enough problems at work, packed up and drove from Berdsk by 11.30 in traffic jams to Novosibirsk at Komsomolskaya 20 for our wonderful gift!

We've arrived. We were met, given a personal manager, a girl who did not leave us a single step, even stood by the toilet waiting for us, all the time saying something about everything, so that my husband and I could not even be distracted and say a word. We were sitting at a table, there were about 15 families like us. Loud music played, a stir was created, half of what she said was not heard, we had to bend over to hear her all the time.

Then a girl came out who began to agitate for a club holiday.

The essence of CLUB HOLIDAYS is that you pay for what you buy 2-3 weeks of rest per year by joining the club. This introduction costs, as our manager told me, somewhere from 20 thousand euros and more, she did not say the exact figure, but later I read on the Internet that it costs people about 1,000,000 rubles, so I don’t wrong. At the same time, accommodation seems to be free, for this time the apartments become yours, but you have to pay for apartment maintenance, buy tickets, insurance, etc., if you want to change your vacation spot or hotel, pay again. In short, you buy air, pay for everything later, and are still proud that once a year you have a hotel room for two weeks, and the service there is top class. Why pay a million for this, if you can just buy a ticket for 50 thousand or even less, which includes accommodation, service, flights, etc. and no freezes? Well, I don’t know, someone probably likes such troubles.

There are also temporary programs for several years, which are a little cheaper. You give someone else's uncle a lot of money for some kind of virtual hotel and rejoice. They also showed us beautiful videos.

But that's what a manager is for, to find out how solvent we are. Where did we go, what do we do. She realized that we had no money, so she just chatted in order not to let us relax, to understand the essence of the event. The music yelled.

But the people who came were not the poorest, who go on vacation every year, traveled the whole world, they were processed in full. Read reviews on the Internet from such processed ones.

Since there was nothing to take from our couple, they offered to start the drawing of prizes. A girl came with a folder and started flipping through the pages on which the prize and number were indicated. Of course, we won a CERTIFICATE FOR A WEEK REST in Montenegro or on about. Tenerife, which can be used for 6 months.

But we pay for the road and all other expenses ourselves. At the same time, we can only buy a plane ticket from them. I checked with another airline for cheaper tickets. And on the Internet, I read that it would be cheaper to buy a ticket at another travel agency than to go on vacation with a “free certificate”. We said we couldn't go yet. We were offered to pay 9 thousand and exchange it for a reservation for 2 years, Thailand is also added there. We again refused. Then we were told that they would renew the certificate for 2 years for free, so that we would come even after 2 years, leave the money with them, and not completely off the hook. With some, at least 9 thousand can be fucked.

Of course, there is such a noise, they told me that I won the trip, I was very happy, to be honest, until I realized that in order to go, I still have to pay a thousand and a half euros per person in order to fly for 1 week, especially since they have tickets more expensive, and you can only buy tickets from them. Why? If it's a gift? What's the difference to them then?

We took our green piece of paper - our certificate, came out satisfied, we look, everyone with the same pieces of paper comes out in different colors, they feel like fools. It turned out that one family had already come from Barnaul for such a colored piece of paper. Very disappointing. Interestingly, no one came out with an iron or a cinema, everyone had certificates for a free vacation, for which you have to pay. We are all their potential customers who come back to them to use their certificate and buy tickets.

We were still lucky, we didn’t lose a lot, we only remained fools, and those who pecked at buying a club holiday may probably be disappointed later. I spent the whole evening on the Internet, reading about such people. I can’t say anything myself, I don’t have that kind of money, I don’t know if they are fooling or not, they say they are fooling me.

Why do I describe everything in such detail? So that all those who received a call and were pleased with a valuable gift in the clouds did not fly and did not go anywhere. We spent our working day, spent time, gasoline, nerves. And they didn't get anything. Nothing is given to anyone for free. And people from Barnaul generally went, how insulting they are. Every day there are 15 such families coming and coming to SUNRISE C, many from other cities. And how do adults have enough conscience to distract serious people for such nonsense, to pull them out of another city? And everyone leaves with a valuable gift - a certificate for a trip that you have to pay for.

How many people did they decide to accommodate for free? Where does such charity come from if it is not profitable for them? If I had read the reviews on the Internet in advance, I would not have gone anywhere, but I didn’t have the mind for that at that moment. You are the one to blame. But it's not very pleasant to feel like a sucker afterwards. Thought I'd warn others.

But they don’t exchange gifts, they don’t give out in monetary terms, and they present all this as if they made you rich. You got the main prize, and for some reason everyone also got the main prize, and the rest of the prizes to no one. They just bring a folder with your number in front of the trip to each table. It seems like you are flipping through the folder, looking for your number, everything is honest.

It is interesting that the certificate says: Director of SUNRISE S LLC and a squiggle instead of a signature, but there is no last name, first name, patronymic. There is something to think about.

And I also noticed that on sites where they tell the whole truth about SUNRISE S and write negative reviews, they begin to write that it is evil competitors that offend them or envious people who did not have enough money for a club vacation. I just feel sorry for my time, and my husband's time. And I rested this year and it’s very good and not expensive, so there’s nothing and no one to envy me. True, I went so far for the first time to rest, I really liked it.

It's very frustrating when you feel like you've been fooled. I don't wish this on anyone. Therefore, I am writing. Do not go to SUNRISE S LLC for presentations, you will not hear anything interesting, you will not receive gifts, you will only feel the psychological pressure of managers trained in this. Spend time doing something useful.
