      Attended Vacation Advisor talk in April of 2022 at Marriott in ***********, **. Received the Air *************** vacation package. Sent in required $100 (money order) via certified mail $4.35, never received any update on receipt of down payment and I called them in May 2022 (after three attempts they finally answered the phone plus two e-mails sent with no response to their **************************************** and received a letter in June 2022 with instructions on how to book. Our first two choices were unable to be fullfilled and ****** (customer service) explained the dates could be extended if none were able to be met. I called in October 2022, due to DV my husband and I divorced and I requested the second ticket be changed to my daughter. No issue. My third date was unable to be fullfilled and I received a letter stating so. I never received any work from them concerning my final choice of 11/17/23. I called company in Feb 2023 and ****** stated an e-mail was sent and went unanswered. I checked my inbox/spam/junk and no email from trending travel was sent. ****** then informed me it would have come from another travel agency name. I was never informed contact would come from another travel agency name (it is not written in the fine print either) but I have no email from 11-06-23 "****" stating they had an offer to extend. Shady business practice when communication is so difficult. I just would like my money I handed over in good faith. ****** then stated a refund can only be collected 18months from the original offer date (April 2022) and my deposit will not be reimbursed.

      Scam artists! Sat through some sales pitch with the promise of free airline tix, free this or that. Find out we need to put a $100 deposit on our "free" airline tix before we book. When trying to book we find out the restrictions of when and where you can go are so ridiculous we never were able to book anything. We finally gave up and asked for our $100 back. Weeks later we got a check for $80 saying there was a $20 activation fee. Horrible people, horrible business. Told my wife that I was shocked we got $80, although we haven't tried to deposit it yet.
