Ramada Plaza Resort Orlando Fort Lauderdale Vacation
Steps to take if you had already given your credit card info away. Stupid ripoff! Fraud! Unethical

I was at the Buskerfest in Toronto Downtown with my girlfriend. There was a contest for a "FREE" Trip to the Bahamas. I filled out a form and a couple weeks later I received a call from Eileen who worked for RAMADA PLAZA RESORT ORLANDO FORT LAUDERDALE VACATIONS.in short they offered a "promotion" I had to pay $698.00 US. I gave them my credit card #. Stupid of me.

Moments after I went online and tried to do some research. I was shocked when I found this site with nearly 200 complaints from the very same company! I've read quite a few of them and noticed that some people got a full refund back, and some didn't.

I'm here to tell you that I DID get a full refund. Here's how I did it.

1) The sooner you call them back the better. RPR 1-800-203-9783

2) Stay calm and be persistent. Remember, they will give in, just don't give up! Keep saying no to their alternative offers! (They will do that)

3) Come up with at least 3 good reasons why you want to cancel.
Some of my reasons were
-I'm only a student no money. Financially can't afford such a trip
-I have a major student loan
-parents don't have good jobs
-I was pressured into saying yes, now that I've thought it though I made a mistake
-please sympathize and understand my case. I wasn't thining properly
-I have bills to pay

4) Use their trick against them. Don't stop talking. Keep pleading your case and reasons but stay calm and serious. Don't loose your temper.

5) Keep repeating your reasons, be firm, and DON'T GIVE UP!
Keep saying no, you just want your money back!

6) If worse comes to worse, tell them that in Ontario, by law, it states that you have 10 business days to receive a full refund of any merchandise sold to you by telemarketers or over the phone.
If you're from the states, just do some quick research.in Florida state I believe you guys have 30 days.

7) If worse comes to worse, call your creditcard company, they're on your side. Tell them your situation.

The trip is bogus, if you read some complaints on this site you'll see that it is a major rip off, where the car is a piece of crap and you ahve to spend money to upgrade it. You must attend mandatory seminars or you won't receive your prize package. And there are untold administration fees and such. MAJOR RIP OFF! Remember, nothing good in life ever comes free nor easy.
