Lifestylez cancelled my vacation due to the Corona virus. I was promised I would receive a full refund by the end of Arpil (emails to confirm this).
My vacation was cancelled in March by Lifestylez, the day I arrived for my vacation. I had driven to Colorado for our trip, and as we pulled into Denver, Lifestylez cancelled our trip due to the Corona virus. Lifestylez sent me an email stating it would be 4-6 weeks for my refund from March 16, 2020. It has now been over a month since this "4-6" week time has run. I sent the letter attached below with no response.

I know there are many others in this situation, where in this company believes it is appropriate to charge customers for a product and then not provide the product.

Desired Outcome

A full refund as promised by Lifestylez for

Lifestylez Productions Response • Jun 17, 2020

Greetings,

We have received this complaint and take the follow through actions very seriously. The complaint was due to a refund for a trip that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 epidemic. We have refunded the customer *** on June 8th, 2020 on the card used for initial payment. The remaining *** was mailed to the customer via check and we have spoken directly with the customer and he has confirmed he received his refund.

The customer was told he would receive a full refund for the cancellation of the trip. Due to delays in the travel/ski industry and operating teams being furloughed, refunds took longer than what was initially believed when we first contacted the customer. We are very sorry for this delay in refunds as we are working with our partners in an unprecedented time and situation for our industry.

We take the satisfaction of our customers very seriously and with speaking with him and having his confirmation, we believe we have resolved this matter.

Received refund.

I canceled my trip with the company in October of 2018 and still have not received my refund after requesting it several times.
On September 9, 2018 I booked a ski trip with lifestylez for December 9-14. I paid the required deposit of $50 that same day, transaction ID XXXXXXXXXXX. On October 4, 2018 I submitted a request to cancel my trip because of a back injury that would prohibit me from skiing as I was not cleared to do so by my doctor. Later that same day, October 4, my cancellation had been approved. Lifestylez refund policy states that you must cancel prior to 60 days before the trip in order to receive a refund. I canceled 67 days before the trip therefore I was eligible for my full refund of $50. A couple weeks past by and I never received my refund so I called the company and they said they would process it. A month passed and still no refund so I reached out to the company once again. This time they said they would credit the card that I used to make the payment with, to which I informed them that would not work because during this time I was getting a new debit card and the card I used to make my payment with was now deactivated. They agreed to send me a check for the $50. I waited over a month and still received nothing so I called once again. As of March 10, 2019 I still had not received my check so I emailed the customer services stating my frustrations. The following day, March 11, I received an email back from *** asking for my mailing address and stating it would be sent out by the end of the day. I responded to *** with my mailing address and waited for my check to come in the mail to which it never came. May 7, 2019 I called and requested to speak to a manger/supervisor or to be given a corporate number because I was fed up. I expressed my problem to the woman on the phone that I was not happy with their customer service and that clearly calling and emailing was not going to resolve the problem. I told her I was going to report them to the Revdex.com to which she still would not refer me to anyone above her. She verified who I was and read my emails and then told me that the reason I had not received me refund was because the person in charge of writing the refunds had been in the hospital for a little over a month however she reassured me that my check would leave the office that day. I am appalled by this companies customer service. Whether it's $5,000 or 50¢ a company should stand be their word and refund their customers their money without the customer begging for it. At this point it's not even about the money anymore it's about the integrity of the business. This is absurd. There is no excuse for this. I find it hard to believe that a company would have an employee in the hospital for over a month and leave the job completely unmanned. I honestly feel like the woman lied to me however if they do have an employee in the hospital as a business you should have someone covering that position. Either way I should've received my refund back in October so there is no excuse. In a couple days it'll be two weeks since I last contacted the company and I still have not received my $50.

Desired Outcome

The resolution I am seeking is my $50 check. I feel as if the company owes me an apology as well for their sad excuse of customer service. It is called customer service not self service, I have put in more work trying to resolve this than any one of their employees have.

After investigating i've seen what has happened. *** cancelled her trip in October and reached out to us in March regarding a refund of her deposit. Deposits are non-refundable but we we're going to take care of ***. Since it was so late we couldnt automatically put the refund back on the card used for payment. So ***, our employee took her address to send out a check.

In an unusual event for our company, as I can see in investigating the request wasn't fulfilled in a timely manner. Our accountant has been in the hospital since May 2nd with health problems. So I will talk to *** about the situation and personally get a check for $50 in the mail by the end of the week out to

I do not accept the response from the company. I canceled my trip in early October due to an injury, I called to verbally verify my cancellation however it was the weekend so no one was in the office. That being said, I received a call back on October 30, 2018, the woman on the phone verified my cancellation date and told me I was eligible for a refund. She asked if she could refund the card I made the payment with to which I told her that card had been deactivated because I had recently needed a new card. She then verified my mailing address and said it would be sent out that day, October 30. As I stated in my initial complaint, I called the company several times before emailing them in March. The company said that I did not reach out to them until March which is FALSE. I had spoken to them several times over the phone prior to ever emailing them in March. Customer service returned my call October 30 where I was initially told by the receptionist that I would be receiving a refund for my deposit in the mail, therefore my "request" was in fact made in a "timely manner". Every time I called between October and March I was told by the receptionist, who's name I've never been able to catch, that my check would leave the office that day. By March I realized calling was getting me nowhere, so that's when I sent my first email. In the company response it states: "***, our employee took her address to send out a check." Yes, I did send my mailing address however I have NEVER seen said check. When two weeks passed by and I still had not seen a check from ***, I knew I would need to contact the company yet again, but being that I am a full time college student I waited until after my finals when I would have more time to do so. I called the company on May 7th and expressed my frustration to which I was told by the receptionist that the accountant had been in the hospital for "a little over a month." In the company response it states the employee has been in the hospital since May 2nd, just five days prior to me calling, therefore I was lied to by the woman over the phone. I do not accept the response from the company because of the false accusations made. I am not the one to blame, if the company would like to blame someone it should be their receptionist. She was the one who told me I was eligible for a deposit refund, she was the one who has promised me a refund several times over the last seven months, she was the one who lied to me about how long a fellow employee was in the hospital. The problem is not with me, the customer, the problem is with the company, internally. The only one who has not reacted in a "timely manner" is the company themselves. I do not appreciate the hasty generalizations made by the company.
