Worldwide Travel Center
Ripoff travel center is a scam and gave the run around hung up on me

I got the free 2 day free vacation package from them and it required us to pick a location. All the locations were pretty much booked up that we wanted, but we finally found one.

Well then come to find out it's a timeshare deal where you have to spend a day listening to them trying to sell something to you. So the free vacation is basically a scam to get you to come to the resort to try and sell you timeshares.

After i told them i did not want to listen to a timeshare they told me there was only a few places that i could go if i didn't want to do the timeshare portion. They told me they would book me on a trip in Florida. So i agreed. And they mentioned i would get all the info on the trip in 10 days.

Well after the information came, it did not specify where i would be staying. It mentioned that i had to go to the Florida Welcome Center to pick up the vouchers. I didn't know how far the Welcome Center was from the hotel or even where i was going.

So i called the Worldwide Travel Center to ask them why I was going to the Welcome Center and they put me on hold and then hung up on me. So i called back and the same thing happened. So i called back again and told her i needed to ask some questions about my vacation. She once again put me on hold and then came back. I then asked her where i was staying and she couldn't answer my question.

Then i asked her why i had to go to a welcome center and she just replied to get my voucher... Then she was transfering me to a supervisor but then i got some answering machine. I called back and told them i wanted to cancel my reservations be/c i was not going to fly down somewhere w/out knowing any details. She said i have to fill out the paperwork and send it certified mail. Yeah ill probably never see that $50 again.

This whole thing was so shady. I'm not gonna end up at some welcome center to stand in line and get a voucher to a hotel that i have no idea where it is until the day i go down there. Then i'm sure they'll try and get me to a timeshare presentation as well. It's just all too secretive.
