Travel To Go Complaint - SCAM! - Travel Liquidators/ Complimentary Vacation
Travel Liquidators/ Complimentary Vacation - Complaint
CALIFORNIA -- We went to a Travel To Go presentation last night for no other reason than the "Complimentary Vacation for Two" that was offered. We sat thru the whole thing - only to realize at the end this is nothing more than a Timeshare liquidator of unsold timeshare properties. Such a bait and switch. They lure you in with ideas of vacations to all these 5 star resorts - and when it gets down to it all you get is a week at a timeshare property that the property developers/owners couldn't sell. But that is not why I am upset. We got our voucher for a comp. vacation - We chose the Royal Caribbean Cruise to Mexico. In the fine print on the back it says to mail in the voucher, yada, yada - and we will be required to pay... $299.00 per person!!!!!!!! WHAT? OK - I get that we will have to pay for port charges and taxes. that's fine. I went on-line to the Royal Caribbean website to price a cruise directly from them in that category stateroom (Q). I found I can get a cruise for 2 @ $216.00/person and port charges and taxes for 2 people would be $51.58!!! A total of less than $500 or I could go on my complimentary vacation for $600. I called Travel to Go this morning and asked them what part of this vacation was complimentary. You know what they said... "Complimentary doesn't mean Free"!!!!!! I said if that is how they are handling this then I would seriously question their business practices in other areas of travel. They said they would call back... we will see about that!
Anyone looking for info about Travel To Go - RUN! It's a total scam. I feel so bad for all those elderly people in that meeting losing their retirement fund to this outfit.

There is no "free" lunch.

I congratulate you on doing your research before purchasing anything. I wish other consumers would do the same.

My husband & I went to a presentation in San Diego last month and a man named Jason gave the pitch for all of these HUGELY discounted vacations including r.t. airfare for literally NOTHING. He stood up there and gave example after example after example of exotic and outrageous destinations in 5-Star resorts and wowed us all with "his" VERY "special" price. This was through Travel To Go by the way. When we joined we thought it was odd HE couldn't log onto their website and SHOW us these places, and that we only had 3 days to cancel. Turns out, they're a TIMESHARE LIQUIDATOR and they would LOVE to buy YOURS, and add it to their inventory! EVERY place was an RCI place, and when we logged on, we saw literally NOTHING to select - month after month there would be one or 2 max. dumpy places. The promised 50% off cruises were a page of 5 that were 8-10% off. He even lied and said Disney cruises were included. Well, Disney doesn't discount their cruises, EVER. A travel agent can get better prices. Don't be fooled by them, we own a timeshare and it's far less to use it or even book through an online place then get sucked into this scam. It is nothing but a scam. I'm going to check into the supposed "A" rating with the BBB. IF that's true, it's only b/c people aren't bothering to report them after getting out. Ask THEM why they don't use this "wonderful" resource, our guy said it's b/c he has 6 kids. WHY wouldn't you? At $2K for a week for a family of 4 surely he could add the other members and pay $4K for the trips to Australia he told us about? Nope! We felt SO STUPID when we found out. LOOK INTO IT> And don't believe the "Our boss is giving a discount to the first 2 who buy>' We were the last to leave the room, and in the parking lot 4 others were telling us how THEY got a discount for having AAA, being a Marine, being a teacher, etc. One couple paid $5K one paid $4800, we paid $4500 and another paid $6K. The only thing in common was we all got taken and we all left pissed and cancelled the next morning. They outright lie to you. It IS a timeshare rental and you don't get to us the good ones. It's a crappy timeshare rental. RUN OUT OF THERE!!!!!
