My husband and I attended a 'program' in Yakima, WA for Holiday Travel of America. After trying to weed out the off-key sing-a-long representative, and the blaring music, and wild Hawaiian shirts, the program was presented. We chose not to buy into the program, but opted for the 'free gift'.
We read the fine print on the back of the certificate and sent it in within the required time limit, selecting our departure location.
We got back a paper showing the travel date periods and a payment coupon asking for $116.00 taxes fee, and $398.00 processing fees. My husband is a world traveler, very sauvy on port fees. And he was outraged at the apparent scam! Highway robbery at least on the processing fees. No wonder they can send their reps to 'exotic' locations!
Now I see that Holiday Travel of America has been ripping off others all across the nation, and for many years!
Well, we're out of this scam, thank God without nothing more than our time!
We are unfortunately not able to take them to court at this time; however, I am filing this report, and I will also follow up with a complaint to BBB of Washington. This needs to STOP!!!
