I'm glad I listened to my inner voice, didn't ignore the red flags, and checked with ripoff report before I mailed off my money and credit card information! I phoned the company to make my reservation. The agent (obviously from India, but falsely claimed she was located in 'Florida') told me her computer could only bring up available reservation dates in Nevada and Arizona due to a computer glitch. She said my only option was to mail my reservation form request in. In direct conflict with the instructions on the reservation form, she told me I had to include a $50 check, along with a handwritten statement as follows:

'I, ______(my name), the undersigned, authorize __________ (they fill in name) hotel to charge my credit card_____________(enter my credit card information) for the required security deposit.'

This reeks of FRAUD for customers to be forced to give an undisclosed hotel free reign to charge your credit card for unauthorized charges, just in order to have your vacation package honored!!! There are so many complaints on ripoff report against this obviously unscrupulous company, I have no intention of mailing my reservation form in. Instead, I plan to file a complaint with lawyers and settlements. I suggest all of you file a complaint with this website, as you may be contacted by an attorney. Cite the complaints on complaintsboard.com, and suggest a 'class action lawsuit.' Also, file a complaint with your local Better Business Bureau, and contact your Attorney General and request that they file criminal charges against this company for fraud, theft, misrepresentation, and bad business practices.

Thanks to all the others who posted warnings about this company and saved us from becoming potential victims of this company.

Unfortunately I took the time to sit thru a 2 hr harassing sales presentation, in order to get a 'free' vacation. They sent a voucher form 2 months later, requesting a $50 per person upfront fee payable by money order only. That's a big red flag already, and you are only allowed to book a trip on Tuesdays, and not during any major holidays or spring break.
Fortunately I decided to Google WORLDWIDE TRAVEL CENTER, and saw all the negative feedback. They sucked me in initially thru GTG (Global Travel Group), located in Scottsdale. So if you see either of these companies, you know it's a SCAM!!!

Unfortunately I took the time to drive over 40 miles in to Bon Voyage Travel, 7000 MoPac, Suite 2000 (2nd Floor)Austin, TX 78731, tool free: 1-877-203-5249 To sit in the lobby on July 9th, 2008. And Witness only couples were called and then lead off to the back to some room. Then to be told that the marketing staff over booked. The front desk staff assured the remaining invdividual that we would still receive the the: Your gift .Two Round-Trip Airfares ( Retail value over $600.00) - Please arrive 15 minutes early and receive your choice of an Early Bird Bonus Gift! 7 day car retal or $200 Gas Voucher or $100 dining Certificate. Fortunately I decided to Google WORLDWIDE TRAVEL CENTER, and saw all the negative feedback. On July 10, 2008, in the early morning hours. I am so glad that I did. The voucher form requesting a $50 per person upfront fee payable by money order only. That's a big red flag already. I was also not sure about mailing out the FreeBeGas.com voucher.
So if you see these companies you know it's a SCAM!!!
