Delivers on what they promise

The wealth of comprehensive knowledge the presenters had, the variety of speakers on all pertinent subjects and the ability to communicate directly with experts once home.

Extremely Helpful Customer Service Representative

I had two separate interactions with Eden and Eimear. They were both extremely patient with me and took a lot of time answering my questions about my account, my VIP resources, and bookstore offerings. Having Customer Service representation at the conference was a valuable asset to my International Living experience!!

I loved the mini-Ted Talks on the various areas to consider. I found a wealth of information on things you forget to consider: taxes, Healthcare, pets, cultural considerations. The information did come fast and furious so sometimes I missed info.

Couldn't Have Done It Without You!

It was through this informative, fact based publication that I found the perfect retirement spot. I would never have considered the country that I now call home until I began reading International Living. It provides detailed, fact based information on both the pros and cons of living in thousands of potential destinations outside the US, and was my primary guide for choosing the perfect location to spend my retirement years. Thank you for all the information you provided over the past several years. My husband and I are now building our perfect home in the perfect place.

Miserable experience with upsell/double-bill

I have read International Magazine for over a year, and was excited to book into their "Fast Track Panama" conference February 7-9, 2025. First I signed up for the conference, then their marketing machine upsold me to Explorer's Club. Within minutes, when I found out that both hotels were completely booked, I tried to cancel. Contrary to their representations, they had billed me twice, once for the conference and once for the club; they only refunded one charge, and are refusing to refund the other. Their customer service is very horrible to reach and insulting on the telephone. FOLLOW-UP: Contrary to the representations made below, I called and cancelled SUCCESSFULLY on January 29, 2025. What was not stated, including through the upsell-machine that attracted me into the Explorer's Club purchase, was that my credit card had already been charged the first time, and would be charged a second time. The representation that had been made was that I would attend the Panama Conference at no charge if I bought the Explorer Club membership. So I had not idea that I need to be seeking refund of two charges. That is the nature of my quarrel. Please get your facts straight.

Caveat Emptor for RETA

As far as the magazine goes, it is fine. However, they definitely over market. It is their RETA (Real Estate Trend Alert) service that I have the biggest issue with. I have been a member since 2020. The project and deals presented by Ronan McMahon are legitimate "potential" projects. I have signed 4 contracts - two fell through. That said, I did receive my deposits back with little hassle. The two other deals are now significantly past due. Ronan never mentions this in his updates. He was recently touting the rise in value of a project in Progresso Yucatan but never mentioned that the project will be delivered over one-year late as will another project in Playa del Carmen by the same developer. He boasts of great potential returns but doesn't address that you're paying deposits for a two+ year period with no interest or return, effectively "dead money". Recent postings on Tulum never once mention the absolute oversupply of rental units in that market. Five years and I have yet to take possession of a single property. There are definitely real projects and the process is relatively easy, but don't believe the hype about the types of returns you will earn.

Constant spamming and MAGA

Constant spamming, much off topic. Touting Crypto daily. Sells email addresses to many MAGA affiliates. I am inundated with right wing newsletters "Shared by the President of International Living".

Retirement Income Strategies Made Easy

Jeff set expectations for the level of the masterclass. Although I would describe myself as very financially educated I did learn some new things. The pace of the masterclass was perfect. I also appreciated that the class was live with Q&A and breaks. Finally, the portfolio provided is very useful.

There was a summit

The summit did take place and was quite helpful. I hope IL will be more explicit and honest in their description of their programs. Setting realistic expectations would have completely avoided this bad review.

Crypto Profits Masterclass

Stupid me assumed that we would be getting regular updates for the Crypto Profits Masterclass, at least for the ensuing year. This is the most I have paid for a crypto service (almost AUD1,500) and being told today that we have received the final updates is beyond belief!!! Sorry, but I am very disappointed.
