We went to their Vacation International Professionals (VIP) presentation at the Windgate Hotel on 1-24-08 in St Augustine, FL and was told we would receive two roundtrip airfare tickets to anywhere in the U.S. (Wings Vacation) and a $100 gas bonus "Certificate/Activation Form" within 30 days.

We were given an official signed 'issued by' and 'dated' "Vacation Choices" certificate to complete the transaction. We mailed the certificate to the address listed on the same day as our presentation. To date, we have received nothing from them. We have used the e-mail address of company rebuttals on your website to resolve the issue with no success or even a reply.

The certificate address is a P.O. Box Number, which should have raised my suspicion about the whole thing. The sad part is that we really enjoyed the presentation. It's a shame that the offer is a big-time scam.

#2 Consumer Comment

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.

VIP Travel - Finally Received 'Gift' And Wish I Didn't

AUTHOR: Ralph - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, March 08, 2008

The terms and conditions on this so-called "gift" are so unreasonable it would take a 'New York' lawyer to even figure them out much less implement them. The really sad part of this whole scam for me is that the lady who presented the program was so very nice. We talked over 30-minutes after everyone else had left the room.

I just received a postcard in the mail from Millennium Travel in Florida with the identical sales routine. Guess who will not attend??!!
