We attended the VIP Travel presentation in Columbia, Maryland on 3/24/08. We were promised two free airline tickets if we attented the presentation. The first thing they wanted was a photo ID and then asked for a credit card. I wasnt about to show them a credit card and they told me I couldnt attend the presentation. They then said that they just needed to see that the name on credit card was the same as mn other form of ID. I didnt have a problem with that as long as they didnt take my card number.

I attended the presentation and it was pleasant, the girl was very nice. But when I asked if we didnt want to sign up today what did we need to do and was ignored and wasnt given a answer. We then got a high pressure buy now pitch, which we declined, and didnt get any info on how to sign up later. We then got our free ticket voucher to mail out. It states that it will take a month, due to high volume, and then an addtional two weeks to get dates. I then looked up the company on the website "Ripoff Report" and saw that this company has been scamming people all over the country under different scams from vacations to timeshares.

What I dont understand is how these people havent been arrested and nothing is being done. We were lucky not to have given any money, but others arent as fortunate. I cant say for a moment I wasnt tempted and could have signed up. PLEASE put these people in jail, stop them from stealing from good people just trying to get a good vacation deal.

VIP Travel sued by South Carolina Department of Consumer Advocate-VIP fails to deliver service

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

POSTED: Wednesday, June 04, 2008

We purchase a membership Sept. 17, 2007. Have tried to use our membership without success. Finally after months of trying, filed a complaint with Department of Consumer Advocate South Carolina, a TV station in SC, and several internet complaint boards. Here is part of their response to all three areas: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.

Also, VIP Travel sued by South Carolina Department of Consumer Advocate in april 2008. must say something about VIP Travel.
