Worldwide Travel Center

Worldwide Travel Center I won a free vacation from Zangara, Dodge in Albuquerque 3 Days and 2 = Nights free vacation from Worldwide Travel. I called to activate the vacation within the 15 days as stated = on the brochure, but the Customer Service Agent that didn't speak English told me that Zangara, = Dodge hadn't registered my number, yet. I asked to speak to the = Customer Service Agents Supervisor and/or a a co-worker, so that I could better understand. The Customer Service Agent refused to let me = speak to a co-worker or Supervisor or to somebody that I could understand and put me on hold = pretending to get somebody else for me to talk to. I researched this company on the internet and found = that there have been several complaints. It appears that Worldwide Travel Center is telling consumers = that dates for hotel room availability are not available, so the consumer sends their registration card again = to WTC. WTC calls back and tells the consumer that their date selected is not available, but another = hotel room is if the consumer agrees to participate in a free 90 minute timeshare presentation. It is really = deceptive advertising. It is kinda like "Here is a free token, but all you have to do for it is run around the = mountain 3 times." It really isn't worth the time that it takes to keep mailing, the postage and envelopes, the = telephone calls for a savings of up to $175. If I go on vacation, then I like relaxing vacations and = not that kind of annoyance. Consumers are better off just paying for the Hotel room directly to the Hotel, = then waste that much time on a scam. I would also rethink buying products of any Vendor that purchases WTC 2 = Nights and 3 Days free vacation. I believe it might be an indication that the Vendor itself lacks the = reseach ability, quality and care. What does the Vendor really expect in purchasing from 5 to 20 dollars per = brochure for a 2 Nights and 3 Days free vacation? The WTC 2 Nights and = 3 Days vacation is just a link to a 90 minute timeshare presentation that because WTC tries to hide this from the consumer, the consumer can = spend too much time on postage, envelopes, telephone calls and rearranging their schedules. = From: Message Author (click here to email author)Date: Thursday, 25-Oct-07 17:48:04 CDT Business: Reply Online Consumer: Comment On This Comment On ThisMy husband and I attended a sales pitch for Worldwide Travel which promised a free vacation and 300 dollars in free gasoline. After declining the offer to join we were handed two scrips, one for a free vacation and another for the free gasoline. Neither was honored. In fact we had to send a total of $240 for taxes and ? which we were told we would receive ($100) back at the time of our vacation. Despite several filings for our trip we were always denied the vacation. Finally, I wrote a letter to Worldwide Travel stating our understanding that no trip, nor money for gas, would be coming. I then wrote to Richard Cordray, Ohio Attorney General, with my consumer complaint. After Worldwide received a complaint from the Attorney General we received our investment back. No comment on the promised vacation or gasoline. This is not an honest company. I recommend that people avoid Wordwide Travel. Sadder but wiser.

We found the same experience when calling in - always unavailable, then we agreed to do the timeshare presentation. Suddenly we had reservations in San Antonio, TX. When we returned from the trip is when the nightmare began. It took over a month and me calling daily to get our $50.00 refundable deposit back, and to date, I have yet to receive the $500 shopping spree that was promised. We took the trip at the end of February, and it is nearing the end of April, and I'm STILL battleing for it. Avoid this at all costs. It is not worth a couple of nights in a hotel.
