  • Why?
  • VIP Travel P O Box829 Lexington, South Carolina U.S.A.

VIP Travel They got kicked out of the ASTA . I guess they can't claim they are a member anymore Good for the ASTA getting rid of this scam company. Don't be surprised if they reappear as Elite travel. I think they may already have Lexington South Carolina

*Consumer Comment: I followed VIP Travel guidelines, but still can't get service

Thank you for contacting the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). VIP Travel has been recommended for expulsion from ASTA. At this time, they are not considered to be members of our association.

I recommend that you contact the SC Department of Consumer Affairs. I believe they are familiar with this company.

I hope you find a resolution soon.

Sincerely,

Michael Martin
ASTA Consumer Affairs

This is the e-mail that ASTA sent to me. I'd like to think I had something to do with it but it sounds I wasn't the only one that sent in a complaint on these con-artist, Next step I hope is them going out of business and then to jail.

#2 Consumer Comment

I followed VIP Travel guidelines, but still can't get service

AUTHOR: Rick B. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, June 04, 2008

When we filed a complaint with South Carolina Consumer Advocate Department ( who filed suit aginst VIP in April 2008 - pretty serious charge - must have had some very serious charges to file suit ), and later with this Ripoff Report, VIP Travel said something incorrect. They stated when I tried to use their service for travel in November 2007, they told The Ripoff Report, and the South Carolina Consumer Advocate Department (I have a copy of the response VIP Travel provided South Carolina Consumer Advocate Department), and you read what they said here on the Ripoff Report. They said: 'they had explained, and stated at the seminar where we bought the membership, and in their membership pack, any request for accommodation outside their 'major areas of concentration', was not promised their service.

Well, I am printing, directly from their membership packet: 'The VIP Travel Plan is unique in the fact that 'each' time you travel you will enjoy substantial savings. Whether you enjoy luxurious condos, cruising, all-inclusive reports, 3, 4, and 5 Star hotels, discounts on theme park tickets, restaurants, golf or RV rental, we can accommodate 'all' of your travel needs while saving you and your family money.'
(1) That's what we were told at the seminar, when we bought the membership; (2) that is what is published in their membership pack.

It appears they do not abide by their own membership publications. I have not attaacked them anywhere. I have, however, stated fact, after fact, after fact.

Please review here and other internet complaint boards, do a search on
'VIP Travel' and you can decide for yourself if you wish to do business with them.

In response to Mr. G's complaint about VIP Travel, we have taken care of him. Mr. G's complaint wasn't even really with VIP Travel, but with one of the marketing companies that VIP Travel uses to bring in consumers to our presentations. Mr. G's situation has been rectified and therefore he should have no other problems.
