      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.

      Sincerely,

      ******* ******

      I was called by Monster Reservations group saying they were giving me a chance to upgrade my package that I had purchased previously and was not able to get my money back.. I had made the purchased and tried to get my money back as soon as I talked to my husband looked up the company on the Web and saw all the dissatisfied remarks by people like me. I did not get my money back so I considered it a ****** learned, but. I obviously did not learn because they called me back July 2nd, 2025 and got me for ******. I am such credit card idiot I guess. I am disputing that charge because I no longer have that card my husband took it away from me, They used it anyway, after the card I did have was denied when they tried it 3 times.. I thought they were not supposed to be able to us a previous card without me giving them the number again. These guys are so, so crooked..

      March 11, 2025, a representative from Monster called husband(**** ******) selling a vacation package. When asked for details, representative said that they are just hoping we will enjoy it, and keep returning. $399 was paid for the package with an understanding that was all we needed to pay and we just needed to book the trips w/ zero mention of timeshare presentations.When booking the first trip, it was disclosed that we needed to sit through a timeshare presentation on ONLY the first trip and we needed to pay an additional 11% fee and $150 refundable white glove fee but was informed that was it and the white glove fee will be returned. This was not true. Monster is keeping this 150 fee and saying its refundable because the ********* company pays the 150 as a gift after the completed presentation. Before first trip, I called Monster 2 more times for clarification on timeshare presentation. The first call I was told that we only need to sit through the presentation on the first trip. The remaining trips we dont have to. The second time I called w/ another clarification question, I was then told that we have to sit through some presentations not just the first. Today I called for clarification about paying extra money each future trip and thats when I was informed that we need to pay more money at each booking like we did on the first and that we need to sit through timeshare presentations on EACH trip. I asked for a copy of the recorded conversations and was told they were not allowed to provide it to me. I said they actually told me when they asked for permission to record that it was for their protection and mine. The representative still refused to provide it and only issued $100 of the $399 original fee after telling them we are done booking. I can give more details to support the fraud of this company w/ unethical and illegal practices of lying about their product. We are looking for accountability and full return on money from company.

      On 9/18/24 i was sold a package through monster called MST - Double The Destination for $848.00, i was told i had to do an initial trip to go to a presentation, then afterward i could start booking my trip for *****, my cruise, & the other all inclusive trips, but upon attending the presentation i was told that monster was just a referral agency for them & any packages wouldnt able to be used unless i bought a yearly plan through them, i was also told that italy was never one of the destination options which was the main reason i even purchased the package.

      Purchased 12/3/24, paid $797.00 Business committed to providing multiple vacations up to for 7 days 6 nights, with locations all over the world. You may have to pay some resort fees/taxes Misleading information provided by the sales team When I tried to book, locations are very limited and they will charge a lot more fees. They say the only thing waived is the room booking fee. They add extra charges such as cleaning fees. When I asked for a refund, they refuse. They record you saying you understand that the charge is non-refundable. I agreed but, clearly stated that only if there were no other fees added besides the taxes and resort fees. They will not refund me. This company is a huge scam, don't be fooled like I was.

      Was contacted by Monster Reservations through Trade Show Travel. They evidently work together. I was contacted to do a (what I thought was an amenities walkthrough) for Trade Show Travel. I was promised no time share seminar. I then find out I have to attend a 120 minute seminar! I was told by the lady that we would be staying at a Mainstays resort with indoor pool, outdoor pool, and hot tub. I got the address from her and find out it is a Mainstays Suites in **********. I called them and they only have a small indoor pool. I called to complain and was put on hold for an extended time to talk to a customer service rep. ** call was never picked up. Everything from these companies has been lies. I am going to dispute the charges on my credit card also.

      I was sold a vacation package for 997$(6/24/2025 @ 4:22PM). I was very clear in the phone call the only destinations that would interest me would be a skiing destination to ********. I was informed this would not be an issue. I was promised there would be no issue with availability to Beaver Creak Colorado. I was promised I would be able to book this vacation in the morning. I was also promised that the only thing I would have to pay additionally would be taxes of between 10-20$ per day. I understood that I would need to attend a presentation. When i called later in the evening(8:04pm) to book the trip, I was informed that there would be significant additional charges, and that they could not book that far in advance. I informed them that this is not was I was promised. I also called back in the morning(6/25/2025 @ 0918) and was told the same thing. They did offer me 120$ off the package price for the "inconvenience" of not being able to book the trip as promised. I told them that this was not acceptable to me. I either expected to be able to book the trip now for the amount promised(taxes of 10-20$ per day to be paid to the resort on arrival) or I expected a refund due to them misrepresenting the vacation package. I was told this was not possible.

      I responded to a text I received stating I could book a destination hotel. I submitted the payment and went to the booking site. I was prompted to call a number where they attempted to up-sale another vacation. After ending that call it says you confirmation is complete. You continue with the booking and get to hotel dates. Of course the hotel they sold you on is not available for those dates although they are green on the calendar. So you choose a different hotel. You choose your dates and once again you have to call because your dates arent finalized. So I call, they are phishing for more information about income. Now those dates arent available either because they work directly with a developer for the dates and they arent guaranteed. I have these dates from July *****, oh sorry someone just booked them.Its giving scam
