We fell victim to Larry McQuarrie on July 20. You can see our picture as well as two other foolish couples on their website ;o (. We had never believed in any gimmics but he is so good and he showed all these great pictures of his family on all these different vacations. Yeah... Vacations we and others paid for. He promised "UP to 70% off" on vacations "anywhere in the world!" Sadly, we were not able to have the same vacations as Larry & his family because after we paid him nearly $8000 we still paid nearly full price for our vacations.
We truly tried to believe in the company but have now come to the realization that we were scammed and have to accept it. We have booked 4 small vacations in the last year and saved about $200 BUT not before hassling back and forth with the company & ALWAYS eventually having to deal with a manager to get a measly 10% off and that's AFTER you return from your vacation & remember to call them immediately for your refund. Now our yearly $200 membership fee is due & if I pay the membership I will officially have saved $0 & lost nearly $8000. We won't be paying that... Gullible & trusting, yes... STUPID, no.
PLEASE don't let this happen to you. If you go to one of their seminars tell them no 5-10 times and they will drop the price from $10,000 to $4000 but regardless, it's still money wasted for a service they don't provide. They book your vacations through Orbitz, Travelocity, TripRes, Hotels.com, anything you can book yourself online. I've been promised "special" gifts for belonging to World Wide Travel but have never recieved the "free" shows or meals when we've checked in.
Save your money & take a vacation with your family. Be like Larry and actually create memories of your own with your family instead of paying for him to have fun. This is the most shameful thing I have ever had to write BUT I hope it helps someone else. If you go on their website you will see that their newest NEW MEMBERS date to August. I hope that indicates that they will soon be completely out of business.
