    Products & Services

    Prestige Travel Systems, Inc. is a full service travel agency that offers cruises, retail travel, vacation packages, and incentives in the form of vacation certificates. In addition to traditional travel services, the business provides a home based travel agent opportunity and a travel club.

    The business sells its vacation certificates to third parties to be used as incentives. Prestige Travel provides the fulfillment of the certificate. However, all sales representations regarding the vacation certificate are made by third party businesses. A majority of complaints received by BBB relate to these certificates.

    For a consumer to use a vacation certificate, certain terms and conditions must be met. These include giving the business a minimum of 45 to 90 days' advance notice for a reservation, depending on the type of travel. Consumers are responsible for the registration activation fee, any applicable taxes, processing fees, and port charges (for cruises).

      The travel agent, Sharon B*** was very rude and nonprofessional. Her site promotes where dreams come true but my experience was a nightmare. I wanted to experience a traditional Luau while on vacation in Honolulu, Hawaii. Instead I received some inferior entertainment in a mall! No beach, no hula girls or roasting a pig. I was devastated and disappointed. Sharon responded she didn’t know it wasn’t a traditional Luau. But she claims to be a world traveler and this was her second time to Hawaii. In addition when I asked for a print out for what I paid for, Sharon Bell became very angry and hung up the phone. Be aware of this travel agent. She’s not what she says on her site.
