Summer Bay Getaways
Promised one thing and supplied another. Refused to credit my card! Tom after 2 hours holding Ripoff

They called us and promised free hiltonhead nights, free orlando nights, 4 nascar tickets, and cancun nights and up to 6 people with us. They never sent us the information through the mail. Called them to question them about the $398.00 promotion and they said they got the e-mail wrong and only confirm via e-mail, etc. I said ok and looked and awaited for the e-mail. Nothing. Next, I went to their site. Finally finding the true offer and what they claim we signed up for. I called my cc company and desputed immediately. They told me 30-90 days. I then called them again and was transferred to no less than three numbers and 2 hours of waiting, until I was connected to a male named Tom. I explained the prioblem and he said NO to refunding my money. I got IRRATE (2 hours of holding had me, which was their plan) and he hung up. I would like to pursue a class action suit against this company and their business practices immediately. Attached is their confirmation I received well after their promise the deliver. I'm sure they wanted their terms and condition to kick in before I could cancel.
