Type of a scam Travel/Vacations
I was called from the Covid Relief department of VacationOffer.com as I supposedly have a $1500 credit. They wanted to offer me a great package for 798 for 2-4 travelers anywhere. I travel to obscure places like Concordia, MO so I asked what was there. I was told by Alan ***** that there is a resort by Wyndham at the Days Inn in town. I asked what that definition would be, like a kitchen is a microwave and a mini-fridge, and he said no, there is a stove with a couple burners at least. I have been going to Concordia for 45 years and have never seen a Days Inn with suites. I told Alan no thank you and turned around and called the Wyndham reservations about the motel. The gentleman said they do not have any suites in the motel, but perhaps there is a resort nearby (I was given the address of *** ** *** ****** for the "resort"), and I spoke with the resorts person of Extra Holidays side of Wyndham. She said they do not have a resort anywhere near Concordia and the Days Inn is definitely not one. I think this company is lying to people to try to get them to buy. I was told they have a A rating with BBB, so I asked on their chat where they are located. I was told they are online and to correspond through the computer, not mail. When I asked about finding the ScamPulse.com rating again, she asked for my account number or package number, then name, telephone, or email. I asked her about Concordia and she did tell me there are no resorts in that area, which I believe to be true. She never did give me the way to get the ScamPulse.com rating. It could be someone is using a real company name for a fraudulent package since this "resort" is by no means real in Concordia.

It is a complete scam. I am not new to the idea of vacation packages and I am not complaining about the idea in general (I read the fine print), but this program is the worst I have dealt with. Have tried twice to book hotel stays within the advertised areas (6 months in advance) and was told I would have to pay an additional 900 dollars to use the package. Was then offered a hotel overlooking the MIA runways for an upcharge that was greater than the cost that I could book it for myself on Expedia. Not really sure who would use this package but I guess maybe if you wanted to travel in the off-season and didn’t mind paying twice for your stay you would be happy.
Complete scam. Style my money. Couldn’t speak to a manager. They rely on you not reading the fine print. Book somewhere else. These guys are crooks
