Re: [redacted] Dear Sir / Madam:

We would like to thank you for bringing Mrs. [redacted]’s correspondence to our attention and for giving our organization the opportunity to research this matter thoroughly. We have researched and documented our findings and we would like to provide you with additional details surrounding this matter.

We have conducted additional research into this matter and as of today’s date 4/29/16 the refunds are currently sitting in [redacted]’s Settlement Account. I called and spoke with Adrian at [redacted] and he informed me that Mrs. [redacted] should contact 1.800.786.8787 for assistance in locating the funds. Our agency does not have access to that account or the ability to pull those funds back or determine the status. In the event [redacted] rejects Mrs. [redacted]’s request, then we can work with Mrs. [redacted] to remedy the situation.

We apologize for any inconvenience this matter may have caused Mr. [redacted] and certainly understand the frustration this situation has caused. Our agency has every intention of making this right and will continue to assist in any way we can to get Mrs. [redacted] her refunds. We would like to thank you for the opportunity to provide additional details surrounding this matter.

We contacted RCI, Our Vacation Center in January 2016 to get pricing on a cruise and I spoke to Gary R[redacted] and told him I wasn't ready to book yet, we were meeting with friends and they were getting pricing from their travel agent. Mr. R[redacted] was scheduled to be off the day we were meeting with our friends but said he would call me. He called me at 5:15 p.m. and I put him on speaker phone so our friends could hear the conversation. I told him we were going to book with their travel agent, the price was cheaper and they were offering a $300 on-board credit, RCI, Our Vacation was offering a $325 coupon book. Mr. R[redacted] said he could match the price and the on-board credit. Since he was on the phone, and my husband and I have been members of RCI for over 12 years and have never had a problem with RCI we booked through him. He matched the price but not the on-board credit. When we signed onto Princess to put in our travel information and book excursions we noticed that the on-board credit was not showing up. I called Mr. R[redacted] but he was not available and spoke to another rep and was told that the credit would should up the first day of the cruise. Our cruise was in September 2016 and the on-board credit never showed up. I call RCI twice while on the cruise asking where the $300 on-board credit was and because Mr. R[redacted] called from his cell phone, our conversation was not recorded, they could not verify the $300 on-board credit. I was told the offer was a $325 coupon book. Mr. R[redacted] was to match what the other agency was offering. I reiterated more than once to him the price and the $300 on-board credit before booking with him. If he was not able to give me the $300 on-board credit he should have told me that and I would have booked with the other agency. When I spoke to 2 supervisors they said they would listen to the tapes and if that is what was said they would honor the $300 on-board credit. There was no tape when I booked due to Mr. R[redacted] calling from his cell phone. I would not recommend booking through this company.

I should have read reviews first. DO NOT do any business with this company. DO NOT give them your credit card information. I cancelled my membership within the required legal timeframe however they are not acknowledging my emailed cancellation. They keep charging my credit card and will not stop harassing me by phone. I have disputed all charges with my bank and filed a complaint with the Revdex.com so hoping to get them to leave me alone. I have all the emails back and forth showing my cancellation. They will harass you to no end. They need to be put out of business.

Good Morning [redacted],

 

Our Finance Department  researched the refund.  On March 31, 2014 the refund of $184.00 was applied back to the credit card used for the purchase. However, there was an error and the refund could not be processed at that time.  Since then, we discovered that Mr. [redacted] had been charged an additional monthly payment.  On April 23, 2014, our finance department successfully processed a refund of $229.00 back to Mr. [redacted]’s credit card.  The refund includes the down payment of $49.00 and 4 monthly payments of $45.00.  Mr. [redacted] should allow 5-7 business days for the refund to appear on his credit card statement.

 

Thank you,

The cost of the package was $1,499.00 with a down payment of $149.00 and eighteen (18) monthly payments of $75.00. Based upon our records [redacted] made the initial deposit for a package of $149.00, but when the first payment was due in April 2014 the payment came back as unauthorized. The payments went unauthorized through the May 13, 2014. On May 13, 2014 [redacted] contacted our agency and advised she wished to cancel the package. On May 14, 2014 [redacted] spoke with [redacted] and informed her that the account would not be cancelled as she was outside of the ten (10) day rescission period and was advised a supervisor would follow up with her to further discuss the matter. The supervisor did attempt to reach the customer on May 16, 2014 and left a message at the home number for the customer. On May 24, 2014 our Finance Department attempted to re-run the customer's credit card to collect the past due April and May payments. We successfully collected a payment of $75.00 on May 24, 2014. The initial payment for June came back as unauthorized on the date due. We attempted to collect the payment again on June 16, 2014 and was able to successfully process a payment for $75.00 to cover the May payment. Based on the history of unauthorized charges the account was cancelled on June 23, 2014 with no refund. The customer was outside of the rescission when she made the initial request to cancel in May and was not entitled to a refund when the account was cancelled on June 23, 2014. However, in the interest of customer satisfaction, we will issue a full refund for $299.00. The refund will be issued back to the credit card we have on file ending in xxxx—[redacted].

matter. According to our records, [redacted] purchased a Government Vacations Rewards Select Access extension on January 22, 2015. The cost of the extension was $1,499.00 with a down payment of $99.00 and eighteen (18) monthly payments of $86.78. Based on [redacted] inquiry she indicated that she purchased the extension and agreed to the down payment and the monthly payments associated with the program. During the initial sales call she stated she was advised that she would have a personal concierge who would assist with her vacation needs and she would be able to receive all-inclusive benefits, to include airfare, stay, and meals. In review, [redacted] made contact with our agency to take advantage of the program benefits and to utilize the assistance of a concierge and to inquire about booking a cruise vacation. She spoke with an agent who advised her that our agency does not offer personal concierge service and quoted her a price for airfare that was much higher than what was discussed at the time of purchase. [redacted] states she informed the agent that the vacation she was intending to book was for approx. 30 people. She was advised our agency offered the option of doing group bookings and she would have someone follow up with her the following day. Subsequently, [redacted] did not receive a call with information about the group rate. [redacted] also indicated that she contacted our agency to cancel the extension and was informed that a refund could not be issued. Based upon [redacted] statements she did not want to remain in the program and in the interest of customer satisfaction, we have cancelled the extension effective February 05, 2015 and a refund was issued for $99.00.

We would like to thank you for bringing Ms. [redacted]’s correspondence to our attention and for giving our organization the opportunity to research this matter thoroughly. We have reviewed and documented our findings, and we would like to provide you with the facts and our resolution concerning this matter. We reviewed Ms. [redacted]’s concerns further and offer the following.  In Ms. [redacted]’s rebuttal complaint she indicated, in her opinion, that Mr. [redacted] did not return her calls and this resulted in her not getting a refund.  Our records indicate that on numerous occasions, Mr. [redacted] did, in-fact, call Ms. [redacted] at the number currently listed on her complaint.  Unfortunately, he was unable to reach her and had to leave messages for her so she could return his call.  Each attempt Mr. [redacted] made was captured on a recorded line.  Mr. [redacted] identified himself and left his contact information for Ms. [redacted] to call him back. As previously mentioned in our original response, we refunded the out of pocket cost of $7.80, refunded the 70,000 points, plus added an additional 10,000 points to her account.  The membership upgrade was purchased on February 18, 2013, and is clearly outside the ten (10) day rescission period for any refund.  Therefore, at this time, our position remains the same. We would like to thank you for the opportunity to clarify the status of this matter by allowing us to provide additional details. Sincerely, [redacted] Resolution Specialist Office of the President

Tell us why here...Re: [redacted] Dear Sir / Madam:

We would like to thank you for bringing Mrs. [redacted] correspondence to our attention and for giving our organization the opportunity to research this matter thoroughly. We have reviewed and documented our...

findings and we would like to provide you with the facts and our resolution concerning this matter.

According to our records, Mrs. [redacted] booked flights through our agency on [redacted] Airlines departing November 8, 2015 and returning November 15, 2015. The cost of the flights were $1,832.87.

It is Mrs. [redacted] claim that she booked the flights through our agency, however, significant modification were made to the reservation by the airlines, which resulted in her not being able to travel on the flights. Subsequently, the flights were cancelled and a refund was issued for the cost of the flights. Mrs. [redacted] asserts that thirty days following the cancellation she had not received the refund. She has requested to have the funds credit back to her Military Star Card.

Upon review, it appears on November 30, 2015, our agent M. Barajas attempted to refund charge through our refund system, but the system gave an error response and the account was not credited. When the member called in again on December 22, 2015, the error had been detected and at that time it was reported to the Finance Department. Our agents worked with the Finance Department, and the refund for $1,832.87 was successfully processed on December 27, 2015 to Mrs. [redacted] military star card. The refund can take approximately seven (7) to ten (10) business days to be credited to the account.

We would like to thank you for bringing Mr. [redacted]’s correspondence to our attention and for giving our organization the opportunity to research this matter thoroughly. We have reviewed and documented our...

findings and we would like to provide you with the facts and our resolution concerning this matter.

According to our records, Mr. [redacted] purchased a Sears Registry Vacations package on November 19, 2013. The cost was $499.00 with a down payment of $49.00 and ten (10) monthly payments of 45.00. Our payment history shows that a total of $184.00 was paid toward the package. As part of this transaction, Mr. [redacted] receives a right to rescind the purchase for a period of ten (10) days from the date he received the paperwork.

Our records reflect that Mr. [redacted] contacted our agency on January 13, 2014 to request accommodations utilizing his seven (7) day certificate included in his package purchase. It does not appear that we were able to accommodate Mr. [redacted] request to locate available accommodations in Hawaii and Myrtle Beach within his selected dates of travel. Due to the lack of availability Mr. [redacted] contacted our agency on March 5, 2014 and requested the account to be cancelled.

Mr. [redacted] was outside of the ten (10) day rescission period when the cancellation request was initiated. However, we have decided that as a courtesy, the account will be cancelled effective March 5, 2014, a full refund of all monies paid towards the vacation package has been processed and all future payments have been cancelled. Furthermore, we obliged Mr. [redacted]’s request to be added to our non-contact list in our system.

We would like to thank you for the opportunity to clarify the status of this matter by providing and explaining the additional facts involved.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.Complaint ID #[redacted] There is no way to get a hold of this company. The supervisor who told me to leave at the initial meeting told me that when after he checked the phone calls of the women who talked to me and if what I stated was true he would mail me the voucher for the vacation. This is the response from the company showing that they had mislead me. Showing that I was to receive the certificate. ( Based on our review, we understand certain aspects of our qualification process were not followed and we would like to apologize for the misunderstanding and lack of customer service during [redacted] visit.. It is our goal to provide all guests’ with the best service possible in a friendly and professional manner. ) But they don't give you a way to collect it or to get in touch with them. I would like it mailed to me as promised when I was shown the door out that day. (We have applied a Direct Access certificate to [redacted]s account, which will allow her to redeem it toward a 7-night resort vacation to U.S. and [redacted] destinations. The certificate has standard terms and conditions, which should be reviewed prior to redemption.) I would like this to be honored as he first stated to me.To have the certificate mailed to me.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  The business has refunded the amount requested, and the complaint has been resolved to my satisfaction.
