We went to the Travel To Go sales pitch in Anchorage, Alaska (we found out about it through a mailer with no company info except for Travelocity-which evidently is not really involved). At the presentation which claims to give a free laptop computer to those who attend a 60-90 minute sales pitch we learned the name of teh company was Travel To Go. It is a SCAM, don't go. We listened for 60 minutes to the sales pitch, got a personal sales pitch twice and then sat for 30 minutes waiting for our free "computer." At this point we were told they were out of computers despite the fact that they had two more planned seminar sessions that day. We were told more computers were being ordered or they could mail us a computer. We were told -rather shadily-to return to the Hampton Hotel on Thursday to pick up the "computer." No place to get the computer or contact name was given. After pressing for details we were assured that Travel To Go would still be at the hotel on Thursday, but I have my doubts. The scam is they want you to spend between 2000 (low end) up to 10,000 for membership in a travel club which supposedly gets you discounts that justify their upfront fee. This from a business that can't even fulfill its basic deal. The deal was I listen for 60 to 90 minutes and get a free laptop computer (granted laptop computers can be found online for as little as $144.00). Well we listened for 90 minutes and got NOTHING!!! Unless you have tons of vacation time and/or LOVE cruises don't bother with this scam because it won't pay off. Even then it won't pay off. And they claim great customer service!
