Mini Vacations AKA MVI Please Help me get my money back. Mini Vacations aka MVI Stole my money and won't give it back Tampa Florida

In Oct 2005 my sattelite company had a promotion with their new service for a free vacation. This vacation package was for two nights in one of several destionations.

In November 2005 my husband and I decided on a date, requested off of work, and went to www.mailmethekit.com to book our upcoming Free vacation. I printed off the form filled it out and sent it in with my 50.00 REFUNDABLE deposit.

In the mean time I was give another promotional offer from a different company to the same destination we were requesting from Mini Vacations. This was so exciting we were going to have a wonderful 4 night vacation.

At the end of January I called Mini Vacations ,not on the 1800 number that they gave me because it was always busy, but on the local number that I had to call information to get. I spoke with a very nice lady that asked if I wanted to extend my vacation by listening to a timeshare pitch. I declined and she stated that all of my informations would be mailed to me at least 2 weeks before departure.

Here we are supposed to leave for a much needed vacation on Friday April 4 2006 and guess wath Mini Vacations seems to be no more. Instead of a nice 4 night vacation we are only staying for two because it's to late to cancel the othevacation and receive all of my money back. My $50.00 is gone and I'm just sick about it.

This is an awful company!!! I'm very very very mad!!! I'm contacting the Company that gave me the Mini Vacation Certificate but I doubt they can do anything. I know that my 50.00 probably isn't as much as other people have lost but when you don't have much it is a lot of money.

If there is anything that anyone can do to help or if I can do anything like writing letters, calling people etc... I'm happy to. This is unfair and I want to do all I can to recover my money.
