We are two college educated people that have good paying jobs and are capable of filing complex IRS tax forms. But we started this process with the thought that Worldwide was in business to provide an actual valuable service to those that received these "gifts". Yet the instructions for filing the travel request are NOT clear and NOT all listed in the same set of instructions. Add to this that customer service is either non-existant or when you do reach someone they will not assist you with any questions. THEN add, that since you must claim this as a "gift" with an inflated value, plus deposits and fees it makes no sense in even putting yourself through the aggravation. You can only travel mid week. You cannot book within weeks of any holiday. At best you will get a trip that is at a very off-peak time and yet get an IRS form that will inflate your income tax far more than the trip is worth. Not to mention additional paperwork come tax time. Stay away. [Of course this is what they want- they have sold these "gifts" hoping no one actually uses them!] "Learn to Read" must be an owner of this scam business.

EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT WORLDWIDE TRAVEL LIKE THEY ARE THIS HORRIBLE COMPANY!! FIRST OF ALL LEARN HOW TO READ AND YOUR VACATION WILL FOLLOW THROUGH! SECOND, ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY PAYS ATTENTION TO THE IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO WRITE BAD ABOUT THE COMPANY ARE JUST AS IGNORANT! ITS CALLED COMPATATION! THIS IS WHAT THEY DO, THEY TAKE THE TIME TO ACTUALLY WRITE BAD ABOUT THE OPPOSITE COMPANY BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT ON THERE OWN. WORLDWIDE TRAVEL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR 25YEARS AND HAVE HUGE COMPANIES SUCH AS CURVES, HBO, COMCAST AND MUCH MORE WHO PURCHASE THROUGH THEM ON A REGUALAR BASIS. I RECOMEND IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT WORLDWIDE TRAVEL THAT THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE TO LOOK FOR REFERALS! DONT BE STUPID, DO IT THE RIGHT WAY, CALL AND ASK FOR SOME!!
