      This company sold me on a vacation package that is not what they are willing to fulfill. They keep telling me it's a non-refundable package because of the low price but that is inexcusable when they are not honoring what they sold me on.Sold me a package for $698 USD that was supposed to include 5 vacation packages. 1) 6 day cruise for 2 people, everything included except booze 2) 8 day stay for 4 ppl in a condo - 1 bedroom + pull out couch 3) 5 day, stay at any of the hundreds of domestic destinations for 4 ppl 4) 5 day, stay at any of the hundreds of domestic destinations for 4 ppl 5) 5 day all inclusive resort stay for 4 ppl I called the reservation center the same week I purchased the package to get availability information and found out they lied when they sold the package. They sold me on being able to book to any destination online, that's not an option. They sold me on being able to book with only 30 days notice, then they said 90 days. They sold me on 4 people for the all inclusive stay, apparently it's 2 adults, 2 kids (I don't have kids). There is one domestic destination as I am in ****** (ON, Im in AB) and they are based on the US.I called back 3 more times, staying on hold for 30 minutes each time, on the 4th time I got through to a person. She kept repeating it was non-refundable as was stated in the original phone call, which I would be ok with if what was sold to me is what is being honored. She offered to pull the recording of the sales call and I said yes, I will definitely need it when I go to dispute this with my credit card company. I stayed on hold for 20 minutes then she returned to say they were having trouble pulling it and offered me a 50% refund and to keep the package. I said no, send me the recording when you can pull it. She refused but said they would give it to the credit card company when they contact them. They also refused to send a transcript of it. I just want a full refund, not 50%. Very dishonest sales tactics.

      I received a phone call from a "**********" Agent explaining that I could purchase a trip to *************, ** for 2 nights and 3 day stay at "***************" - for the amazing price of $108.40 (which they also added they would throw in an additional night & an additional 2 night, 3 day stay anywhere in the US - all for the total price of $108.40.I asked if there was any catch - they said absolutely not, this is just a promo to get the word out about our company. So I purchased (and paid the $108.40 - see attached receipt).3 nights ago I attempted to book our reservation at *************** and there were "no dates available" when we wanted to go, so I booked 9/16 thru 9/20. I received an email from Booksi stating that our reservation wasn't confirmed or complete until I called and gave the confirmation number. The email I received also says there will be a security deposit and more booking fees (see email under this statement) - also was not told about any of this when purchasing (I already paid booking fees - see receipt).This is the email I received back after trying to book dates:Please call Booksi on ************ to confirm with your reservation code 1058773-1155655 Your reservation request is not 100% finalized until you speak with our team by phone. You are saving up to 83% with this offer. At time of booking there is a refundable security deposit and local hotel taxes/government collected that locks in your accommodations!I called 3 times - was on hold for more than 40 minutes each time. I finally received a call back from Booksi 2 days later at 7:30 am in the morning while I was on my way into work. The 1st question they asked me is when I wanted to book my 2 hour time-share sales pitch...I said what??? They then asked our combined ********** said - we're not buying a time-share, I'm not giving you our income and I'm requesting a full refund ASAP They hung up on me 3 different times.******** *******

      I was contacted by ****** ******** on July ******* about a travel package. I was very clear to ****** what I needed in order to commit to the transaction. I needed suites & 2 bedroom units. I was assured that this would be no problem with their inventory. I completed the transaction and received the travel guide. It became clear after reviewing the travel guide and contacting the reservations department that they are engaging in fraud. They have resorts listed in the travel guide that they do not offer. They do not have suites or 2 bedrooms available. I requested a refund within hours of purchasing and they refused to process it. I spoke to ***** numerous times and was told it was not refundable. This company engages in fraudulent business practices and should be shut down. I want a refund.

      Monster Reservations sent me and my family to ***** for three nights stay at the ***********. This was supposed to cost us resort fees, which totaled about $200 if we went to a timeshare presentation. When we got to the *****, they said our reservation had been canceled. I called monster reservations after hours line and was talking to them trying to figure this out for over two hours. This was memorial weekend. Everyone was gone. Everything was closed so I was told I would have to pay for that night out-of-pocket and I would be reimbursed when monster reservations figured this out with the ***********, and what had happened. So I was told I still had to go to the timeshare presentation and ended up paying $600 for one night at the ***********. I have yet to be reimbursed for the $600. I have multiple emails from monster reservations stringing me along telling me a check will be sent out a month ago two months ago three weeks ago so on and so forth. I would recommend not doing business with this company because you could show up at a vacation destination and have the same thing happen to you and your family. Imagine showing up across the country at some resort for a week and this ********** a single mom and absolutely do not have money like this. The only reason I used my credit card for that $600 for that night was because I was told they would they would reimburse me. I have attached the correspondence from monster reservations below to show how theyve been stringing me for months telling me theyre sending out a check.

      Purchased vacation package and attempted to book vacation to *******. Nothing available so we purchased via *******. Now this business calls me at least 8 times a day from various local numbers so I cant even block them. I have demanded to be removed from their call list but receive another call from a different number within minutes. This is called stalking and harassment!

      We have been lied to and scammed through this company. Told us they would send us a hard copy of agreement and a book of vacation destinations but never did told they would resend it out and never did, turns out they don't even make a hard copy book (why lie about that) lied about hidden fees lied about time share presentation. Completely unreachable through phone. Been asked to be put on do not call list with salesman told they did but they didn't. Monster is a scam company that lies to make everything sound amazing but its far from it.

      On April 30, 2025, I received a call from a representative named ****** with Monster Reservations Group. He offered me a vacation package that included ten vacations, one of which was a cruise, one all-inclusive stay, and the remainder as standard 5-day, 4-night stays. I explained to him that I was planning a trip to ****** in 2026 with my daughter and specifically asked if I could use two of the vacation stays from the package at the same hotel, at the same time, for two rooms (one for me and one for my daughter) at the *********** in *******. ****** assured me that this was absolutely possible, and that the *********** was part of their available hotel list. He then transferred me to a closer named **** who confirmed the exact same details. On May 1, 2025, my daughter and I called back, spoke with another representative named ******. We asked the same questions again. ****** clearly stated to all our questions that the answer was yes. She directed us to Monster Reservations Groups website to confirm that Hyatt Place showed as an option of availability. Confident in what we had been told multiple times, I proceeded to purchase the package for $1,158. We were then transferred to Yvonnes closer, *******, who reconfirmed all the same points. Based on this entire experience, I believe Monster Reservations Group engages in misleading and unethical sales practices. I was explicitly and repeatedly misinformed by multiple representatives, both before and after purchasing the package. The key terms that were critical to my decision to buy this package have all proven to be inaccurate or untrue. Moreover, the lack of clear, written documentation and the ongoing contradictions between departments has made it impossible to trust that the company will deliver what was promised.For these reasons, I am formally requesting a full refund of the $1,158 I paid, due to false advertising, misrepresentation, and deceptive business practices.More detail is in attached letter.

      Complaint: 23570236

      I am rejecting this response because:  I was lied to with the same lies by 4 different people which is fraud.  I was told that they do not do the selling of the product so what is promised is not recorded.  I read on the reviews of the BBB site many others that were lied to as well and stated there is never availability.   We would not have purchased the product if they had not promised we could use 2 at the same time at the same place which now they state we can't because it's bundling which was never address in the sales presentation.  Just the opposite we were told we could use 2 of the trips at the same time, place and dates.  ****** stated she deals with this complaint all the time.  A reputable company would not accept fraud as their selling technics.  I just want my money back and to be through working with this company.  They have comitted fraud whether it was promised by them personally or the company they contract to sell their packages.  Ultimately it comes back to this company and their practices.

      Thank you for your help in this matter.
