American Travelers be aware from this company - HTOA
First of all, I read reports filed by all others and based on my experience. they are true to the best of my knowledge.
Regretfully, I wised I have read their reports in opposition of HTOA, thus will help me from becoming the next victim with their scam-oriented business practice.
In my report, I have disagreement against their practice of :
1)Bait and Switch A)they will keep asking for your willingness to UPGRADE (with a quote I got for $1400 for two for a 5 nights investment WITHOUT/ Excluding Airfare... !!
2)Build their business AT YOUR EXPENSES of A)initial required $100 for all associated taxes ...etc B)Time C)Efforts in Participation D)Opportunity Cost
In summary:
My participation to be lured by attending their presentation, receive a travel voucher for two to Hawaii. (With prepaid $100 for Associated Taxes, to be Mailed in first to secure a timely benefit before expiration.)
Signed personal information of
A)Names of Two
B)A signed Check
C)Personal Information of Email/ Address/ Phone numbers...etc.
*** And who knows what they use it for.
They ask you to call back 45 days to 60 days Prior to the reserved travel dates for confirmation.
After committing to 3 reservations dates AND told with some kind of run around reasons of lack of ....?
AND, still with no commitment to fulfill their binding promises.
I got a wake up call and re-evaluated how they make profit at all My-EXPENSES and plus so many other victims unknowingly.
I made my formal complain with their customer manager with class AND decided to file and pose this Consumer-Awareness Rip-Off Report.
In addition, if anyone know a better way to make an investigation / litigation to find out the truth. Please don't hesitate.
Lastly, I am surprised to know that their business-practice has been some years at least and I simply can't believe there's never had any investigation or litigation from the authorities for justification.
If this is the way how America runs the business. Then, I will not hold my faith for a better economy. Perhaps this is the NEW-ECONOMY - SCAMMING every one.
