    Who to believe, the numerous complaints to the Better Business Bureau and Trip Advisor concerning customer service about refunds or the possibility that the check must have been lost in the mail because it never arrived. Check number ******* was reportedly mailed on or about Feb 7, 2024. The check was for $1840 to cover that portion of the bill that was paid by ACH transfer from my bank. The portion paid by credit card was refunded on Feb 7, 2024. Email confirmation of the check number and mailing date have been requested. One rep said she would do it, the other rep said it needed to come from a different department. No email has arrived. Recommend use of credit card when dealing with Grand Circle to ease refunds if that becomes necessary. Customer Number *******.

    I booked a trip with this company on Tuesday April 9th, and paid in full by ACH check. The next day I discovered I had been charged for a pre trip extension that I did not want. When I called to have this corrected and arrange a refund, I also downgraded the airfare from premium to standard because scheduling issues with the corrected dates was becoming problematic. They told me I would get a refund for $4022.00. I waited a full week for the refund before calling to inquire about it. So today I was informed that the refund would take 45 days. In this day and age this is completely unacceptable, particularly when the error was their own fault. For a resolution, I am hoping to get my refund much sooner.Thank you.

    I was on an OAT trip to ********/*********/*********** 12/1/23-1/5/24. Cyclone Jasper (**) manifested approximately 12/5/23. At that time, our guide, GH sent email to OAT office in ****** about ** with the recommendation to divert our group from the Cairns/******************* (C/PD) segment of the tour to another location in *********. Our C/PD segment was scheduled for 12/16-12/20/23. ** hit PD on 12/13/23. The storm then stalled over the area producing subsequent days of high winds and torrential rains. There was severe flooding. Numerous roads suffered mudslides and destabilizing damage. Despite the conditions after the ** landed and the continuing aftermath, OAT flew me to C because after making phone calls, "the planes were flying" and "the tourist venue operators said that they were open for business", but OAT not look at the weather. After we landed, the airport cancelled flights, the tourist venues closed and we were confined to the hotel. OAT claims, "Force Majeure", however the weather conditions were foreseeable and started on Dec 13, 2024 prior to our arrival. OAT endangered my life by flying me into the aftermath of **. OAT committed gross negligence.

    A representative of the company spoke to Complainant regarding their resolution on January 31, 2024; this came after O.A.T. had already provided correspondence to the Complainant multiple times regarding this matter. This representative advised at that time that, while we're sorry for what the travelers on this departure experienced, with the airports and hotels still open, we were unable to predict what the weather might do. We reject any allegations of negligence, and we will not be offered a document suggesting we did or providing any further compensation past that already offered. While we know this is not the concluson Complainant wanted, we consider this matter closed.

    The main issue for this complaint was Cyclone ****** and its aftermath and how it impacted the Cairns/******************* portion (December 16 - December 20, 2024) of our Overseas Adventure Travel trip called A ************* Odyssey: *********, the Outback & *********** that departed on December 1, 2023.    The fact that planes were flying and the venues reported being open was irrelevant.    People familiar with the weather in the area cancelled their trips to ******/********************    On December 14, 2023, Port ******* businesses reported that they were open.    These businesses were more concerned about their revenue than the safety of the tourists.     Overseas Adventure Travel did not have a *************** Plan ("Plan B").     Overseas Adventure Travel is exposing itself and its customers to risk.   This risk should  have been managed by avoiding the risk.   Our group should never have been flown to ******/******************* in the first place.    Instead, Overseas Adventure Travel flew us into an area with active cyclonic activity endangering the lives of me and my group.     Overseas Adventures Travel needs to accept responsibility for their poor decision by acknowledging their mistake, compensate the individuals of the group and adopt risk management principles and processes that will improve the quality of the tours Overseas Adventure Travel offers to its customers and guarantee that this will never happen again.

    Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) has refused to refund my down payment on a cancelled trip for over 1 month, holding $2498. The payment was processed 3/24/2024. As of today, 4/15/24 an OAT representative has confirmed that the company owes me the refund, but they continue to procrastinate the refund. They initially told me it would be two weeks, then 30 days, then 45 days. OAT tells me that its finance division is very busy, and it is not possible to remit the refund sooner. Yet, they are able to process payments instantaneously. I charged the payment to a charge card, for which I must pay interest until I get the refund. OAT is obviously using my money for its cash flow or investing it. This is in effect an extorted interest free loan to them, at my expense. I am not certain whether this is a Ponzi type business plan, or simply a ruthless exploitation of their mostly senior citizen clientele.

    I put a deposit down (Of $1,399) for a trip with Overseas Adventure Travel on 3/29/24. My credit card was charged immediately. On 4/5/24 I canceled my reservation and I was well within the timeframe to receive a full refund. Today (4/12/24) I checked my credit card, and there was still no refund posted. I called O.T.A. and was informed that a refund could take up to 45 days - that is company policy. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told that none was available but that they would give me the same answer. Even if company policy, I believe this is outrageous - the company is using my money for no good reason except greed; as it is already 15 days since I made this reservation, I believe this refund should be posted immediately. Thank-you.

    [I do not accept the resolution because as of today, 4/25/24, no refund has been posted to my credit card (the same one that was charged for the deposit).  Perhaps this takes a few days to be processed and post to my card;  I'll check daily to see if/when this happens.  I would like this case to remain open until I receive said refund.

    re: OAT reservation #*******, Grand Baltic Sea Voyage, 6/24/24 - 7/11/24.KC to **********, return from ********* to ***When we booked our original Delta flights 10/2023, OAT told us all our Delta upgrades to premium economy were covered by the $4,904 customized air cost on our invoice, which we paid in full in 3/21/24. When Delta cancelled 2 of our ************ booked alternative flights offered by OAT, no one mentioned we would owe more $$$. (Delta #HUU3GU) We continued to get invoices showing we were paid in full. We talked with OAT on 3/29/24, & we were told we should NOT be charged any additional fees, as it was Delta who canceled our flights, not because we chose to book alternatives. On 4/2/24, OAT contacted us to see if we wanted to travel on American. We told OAT we needed to think about it, and coordinate with *****, our travel companion. That evening someone apparently deleted our Delta flights & replaced them with American without our consent or knowledge. When theres a pending change to our flights, OAT normally sends a heads up letter / email and lists alternatives on OAT's MyPlanner database, but that did not happen in this case. After many phone hours with various OAT reprs, we were told it would cost an additional $3,406 (incl insurance) to rebook the flights we had the day before that were PAID IN FULL. We should NOT need to pay anything to restore those Delta flights that OAT deleted, since we had already paid $4,092 per person extra for premium seats. Because we want to be on the same flights as our friend ***** (whose flights weren't deleted), we "bit the bullet" and paid OAT an additional $3,406 on 4/11/24 "under protest." (new Delta #HT38F3 for same flights). We have escalated this twice, & both exception requests were denied. We can book this same round trip ourselves for two for $7,564, but OAT is charging us $11,190. We were victims of OATs ************************** We believe OAT owes us $3,406 for their error.

    Complainant has spoken to numerous agents, including two supervisors. Multiple alternatives with a lower cost have been offered, but Complainant has declined them. While we're sorry Complainant isn't happy with this, the extra cost represents what we're being charged for these specific flights, and this is not something we are going to absorb. While we know this isn't the outcome Complainant hoped for, we consider this matter closed.

    We needed to cancel our reservation #*******, for which we had purchased "cancel for any reason" insurance. OAT uses ******** for its insurance. The policy clearly states that we can cancel for any reason and that OAT can reimburse in cash or travel voucher. We want to be reimbursed cash. However, both ******** and OAT are bouncing us around between them, issuing various denial letters and making it impossible to speak to a manager about what the problem is. Our claim is valid. We purchased "cancel for any reason" insurance for $998. The cost of the trip was $8,609. Therefore we are eligible for a cancellation fee of $7611.

    To Whom It May ****************** are in receipt of the above referenced complaint filed with your office concerning Complainants canceled Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.)trip called *******: From the Mediterranean to the Sahara.

    When a traveler has purchased the Trip Mate travel protection plan through us, and they have to cancel their trip, they put in a claim directly with Trip Mate. If Trip Mate determines that their cancellation was for one of the covered reasons of their policy, such as illness, a death in the family, and other emergencies, they look to refund any cancellation fees. If they determine it was canceled for a non-covered reason, the "Cancel for Any Reason" waiver applies, and a voucher for future travel is created in the amount of the cancellation fees.

    In this case, TripMate has determined that the cancellation was for a non-covered reason, and Complainant was issued a credit for traveling with us of $7,611.00 as of March 19, 2024. If Complainant feels that TripMate made this judgment in error, they need to appeal directly to TripMate, as we aren't able to overturn their decisions in these matters.

On 3/13/24 I received a voice mail and email informing me that OAT could not book my hotel room. After several hours on the phone with ***************************** and ************************* they were saying that I was responsible to book my own room and transfers They had credited my account for the Stopover and travel insurance in the amount of $1790 . No option to book alternate rooms or alternate stopover cities, just that I was on my own. I then contacted *************************** and booked my own rooms with no issue. I then called OAT and requested that they process a credit back to my credit card for the full $1790. I was then informed that it would take 45 days to get my money back. So, they sold me the "Stopover", took my money, cancelled my room and now are unable to return my money. I am now carrying an extra charge on my credit card that was not budgeted because they did what looks like a bait and switch.I would like my $1790 now.
