I wish I could give it no stars. I was sold into a vacation package with an incentive of $100 for a trip for 2 (included airfare and hotel - I had to pay the taxes for them) to any International resort. The terms and conditions are very specific. You choose 3 places that you would like to go and they have to be 30 days apart and can only leave on Monday or Tuesday. That makes it impossible to do trips 30 days apart, so you have to pick them 5 weeks apart. I contacted the company who made it very clear they would reject and void any request less then 30 days or not leaving on Monday or Tuesday. To me, it appeared they were looking for any excuse to reject and void your trip. So I was careful. I checked 3 places, made them 5 weeks apart. When the time came, oops - we couldn't find anything. Pick 3 more places. I picked 3 places 5 weeks apart. Several months later - oops, we couldn't find anything again. Pick 3 more places. Again I picked 3 places 5 weeks apart. Several months went by. Again, oops, we couldn't find anything. Pick 3 more places. I'm angry but still pick 3 more places. a letter came days later saying it was over 1 year so they had voided my requests and would return my $100. About 10 days later I got a check for my $100 back.
Here's what I'm thinking. They are being paid by these travel and resort companies to offer a ridicules offer on a trip to get you to buy their vacation package and this company is just a front to think you are getting a sweet vacation for $50 each. They are looking for any reason to void your request and if that doesn't work, after 1 year it automatically gets voided. Technically, it is not a scam but it certainly is NOT what they make you think it is. I will never fall for this bait again.
No company can give you a vacation that costs hundreds or thousands of dollars for $50 and survive. Guess where they are getting their money?
Avoid at all costs or be disappointed later on.
