Trade Show Travel Co. [email protected] Scam, not a prize West Palm Beach Florida
Early October my girlfriend and I entered and won a trip to Orlando, Fl for a trip to Disneyworld. We had to pay a $498 travel fee and they would take care of the lodging, ammenetities and tickets to Disneyworld. I was also told, because of my public service I would be graned another trip later either out of country or to Daytona beach.
After book the trip I discovered I had to sit through a 120 minute presentation on time shares when I would arrive in 3 months. I didn't mind that, despite no one told be before hand. I continued to make arrangements with Jason White, the supposed manager and president. I discovered that now along with the 120 minute presentation that I also need a valid credit card, it can't be debit, and that I will also be charged a "running fee" of $360. When I called back to inquire about this I discovered I was also upgraded, against my wishes and had to pay for the upgrade which would cost me an additional $320. I also then learned I had to pay all taxes, which were also higher for going through Trade Show Travel Co. I then learned that there would be a credit check done upon checking in, and if I did not make more than $60k I would not be eligiable for the deal and have to pay for the trip out of pocket anyways. I then finally learned I would not be recieving any tickets to Disneyworld.
When I inquired about this to Jason White he claimed there was something about the fire marshal requiring I get the upgrade since I was bringing 5 family members along. He told me he'd call about the fees and see why it was costing so much.
While I waited, I contacted the hotel seperately. Unlike what Jason and his company said, I am not required to have a credit card when I arrive. This is also when I learned that I'm paying more for the "taxes" through Trade Show than I am had I just booked the hotel room. I also learned that the hotel/resort had no such issue without getting the room I was first promised, that I was not forced to upgrade, and finally the most suspcious part of all, the "required" credit card is only required by the Trade Show Travel Company, they taken the money out and there is no promise the money will be returned.
Of course the $498 is nonrefundable.

I saw some of the vacation vouchers being sent out by Trade Show Travel Co and We Travel Forever. I did some research and apparently they get some of them from http://www.DiscountWorldVacations.com
I printed one out and submitted it and lo and behold it was legit! I had a nice 4 day Branson vacation.
