Beware of the worst scam in travel! I joined VIP TRAVEL and was promised travel discounts, "hot weeks", and two free condo weeks for $1800 plus $79 a month for one year then all I had to pay was $199 renewal a year to stay a memeber. I tried on numerous occassions to book travel and three months later they had not returned my numerous calls. i tried again to book to a different state and they never returned my calls. I saw on the internet were VIP TRAVEL had gone bankrupt in July 2008 but they were still debting my credit card. I called them and they said I had signed a one year contract and I was LOCKED in!
I then received a letter from RESORT RESERVATIONS and they said they could offer me the same services and wanted to know if I was interested. I said NO and hung up. One month later they started billing the same credit card I had on file with VIP. I called very upset and told them I would sue, report them, I was NOT of member with RESORT RESERVATIONS and they had no right to charge my credit card. After talking numerous times with my credit card company they said they would stop the debit to my account. RESORT RESERVATIONS continued to harass me and bill me and said they would report this to the credit bureau. They finally stopped billing me. Then, one day they called and asked if I wanted to join? HAHA I hung up.
Today, 4 months later, I received a "INVOICE" from them for "Annual Service Charge". DO NOT PAY THIS! THIS IS THERE WAS OF LOCKING YOU IN FOR A YEAR OF CHARGES AND NO SERVICES. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY SERVICES FROM THEM, BUT IT COST ME $2659.00 FOR THE EXPERIENCE FROM HELL! do not get involved in anyway with the scam. They gave me a free crusie, when I got ready to go they sent me the paper work and said there was a surcharge of $499 per person, a booking fee of $100 per person, plus port fees and taxes. I could go thru the cruise line and travel cheaper than that! It was suppose to be FREE - port taxes only! BEWARE and RUN!!!!!!111
