I have been with this company for 6 months now. Other people in my office have been with this company for 1 -10 years. We offer a promotional package not a scam. I read alot about people being "ripped off" by fake travel agencies and I genuinely feel sorry for those people;but this is not one of them. It is unfortunate that dishonest people can ruin business for reputable companies.As explained in previous complaints we offer a discounted vacation package. All the fees are completely explained before purchase.We do not randomly call people . We offer discounted vaction packages to people who filled out a form to recieve this vaction at "state regulated " events. We explain that it is NOT FREE that you are recieving a promotional price of $299 per person way before we even explain the details of the package because we dont want to be mislead into thinking it is free or something you won. Before working with this company full time I did my reasearch as well. I find it appalling that people would take time out to complain about a vacation that they didn't purchase much less go on. We offer 3 nights in Orlando,2 nights on a Bahamas Cruise, 3 nights in South Beach with meals included, an economy rental car rental, and a $100 voucher to be used at the Disney/Orlando theme parks, not to mention two other bonus mini vacations. The Bahamas Celebration cruise ship was nominated #1 for Bahamas Cruises in " Porthole Magazine " whose sole purpose is to write about and critique various cruise lines. If you thought it was free then you were not listening to the sales rep which will repeat the total cost before asking for a credit card. We ask for a credit card because you are protected by your credit card company as oppsed to asking for cash or a check. If you thought you could go to Orlando,The Bahamas, South Beach, Las Vegas and Mexico for 2 dollars and 99 cents then I'm not sure what planet you are writing from. The time share pesentintaion requirement ia also explained BEFORE we ask you to secure your tickets. The entire vacation is recapped during verifaction and if you are having doubts you can cancel right then and there with the representative on the phone. We cant make you take this vacation. Most people want to go and they do and write their testimonials on our website. I just don't think it's fair to judge a vaction that you never went on. I personally love to travel and it's not always in my budget. I consider myself lucky when I am selected for timeshare promotions because depending on what is being offered, it's the cheapest way to travel. I have taken vacations associated with timeshare and in fact I still have a bonus vacation to California pending that I'm going to use for my boyfiend's birthday just for going to Orlando earlier this year. I will admit that timeshare presentaions can be boring but for me it's worth it. I don't have to purchase any timeshare and I enjoy my vactions. I am a bargain hunter and no matter what website I go on, that offers discounted vacations I have yet to find one cheaper than the total cost of this package even with the port and depature fees. I think it is an excellent package and when time permits I am going to take this vacation. I'm sorry that some people are afraid to take advantage of a promotion and would rather spend their time writing complaints. But for those of you who are serious about traveling, " I'll see you in the Bahamas!!!"
