Review: VIP Travel Reservations Inc

don't work with these people before checking google.com which responds with numerous claims of SCAM!

I sent a $100 downpayment and almost 6 weeks later they claim to have no obligation of providing tickets for package we contracted for, won't return my numerous phone calls to customer service and won't discuss return of my downpayment.

The same thing happened to me. Sent in $100. Asked for a refund, have heard nothing in three months.

I think these people must have taken the course offered by the late W.C. Fields entitled, "There's A Sucker Born Every Minute." My wife and I were offered $100.00 in gas, airline tickets and a Marriott vacation package. Needless to say, there were significant strings attached to each portion of the "free gifts." We decided to check out each provider on-line and were not surprised to find out there were many problems with each of them. We got away without any loss of money but feel bad for those who were not so fortunate. Sure makes you wonder about the companies which were selling (in our case it was time shares in Virginia) something. If their "giveaways" are that shady, what does it say aboout their products?

Thanks to Barry, Brian, and David at this site and others at other sites. In addition to WC Fields' observation above, the saying "if it seems too good to be true, it is probably bogus," fits Internet commerce especially accurately. I received an offer like David's above from the same-named outfit in Massachusetts. I googled the company and have found nothing good to say. With the proliferation of scams on the Internet and the sheer size that doesn't give any sort of enforcement group a chance to clean up all the slime and slime balls, we need to be vigilant and do our part in posting complaints. So, if there is any good to come, it is that folks are helping one another out to avoid fraud. Thanks, all.

We attended this seminar last night claiming to give us a two night Marriott stay, a $100.00 gas card and a fifty dollar visa debitjust for listening to their 90 in bullshit. You have a better chance of winning an oversized stuffed animal at the sttae fair, than getting a single penny worth of their promised crap. STay away ! keep you $75.00. these people are scam atists and their sole purpose is to steal your hard-earned miney and give you nothing in return bt a sardonic smirk. Be wisw, don't fall for these cons!

These people are fast talking carnies--that's it! If you"re gullible and stupid-go for it!

The scam continues to be perpetrated in NY and NJ by "Dream Works" in Parsippany, NJ offering JetBlue Tix and a RitzCarlton stay. Beware!

went to Dream works presentation last night in Parsipanny NJ. have been to HGVC presentation and Disney vacation club presentations before. This one had an erie feel to it. O=The deal sounds great for discounted travel etc., but to claim your "free" airline tickets and 7 day car rental and 100 gas card, you need to put up $50 for each ticket and $75 for the car now.

Thanks for posting all these! I was looking at the free birthday offer of a free weekend at a Marriott,$100 gas card, free dinner,$100 shopping card and now won't bother!

Company operates in VA, MD, & DC metro area as VIP Travel Reservations and offers 2nt stay at Ritz Carlton, Jet Blue tkts, & 50 dinner for two. After googling, I have found many of the same stories....scam, scam, scam! Thanks for the posts...saving a lot of time & grief!

This seems to be the way various timeshare sellers or vacation discount companies use to attract possible buyers by offering free airline tickets or hotel for attending a 90 minutes to try to sell you a vacation club. I did attend but did not buy anything nor sent the $150.00 deposit required in order to receive my vacation package.
You should not have to pay if it is free.
Remember the saying: TO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Thanks for all of your comments! Just got a birthday card from them offerring all of the same items but thought I check the Internet first. The card is going directly into the trash bin!

Got the birthday coupon too... kinda figured it was a scam. Sure would think something could be done to stop this crap. Imagine the number of people that get taken...thanks to all who reported this.

Just got a b-day coupon too, i knew it had to be a scam. Thanks for all the posts to confirm it.

I'm shredding the mailing from VIP Travel Reservations (Ritz Carlton & Jet Blue free offers) right NOW! Thanks to all who shared their experiences.

My wife got the usual offer of Happy Birthday and $50 dinner, Jet Blue ticket and the Ritz Carlton. After reading these posts and others, I'm glad I did not waste my time.
Toll free number is 1-888-799-1704.

It's a scam operated by Getaway travel. Don't bother

I received a voucher in the mail for 2 FREE roundtrip tickets anywhere in the US. Thanks to all of you that have taken time to inform others, I will be ignoring the offer. Thank all of you!

I got the Birthday invatation, attended the seminar, received the two airline airfare voucher and the car rental for a week. I sent them both in with the deposit and I FOLLOWED ALL (I MEAN CROSS YOUR T'S AND DOT YOUR I'S) OF THE RULES and I got my weekly car with ENTERPRISE and my two airline tickets on NorthWest to Las Vegas! THEY WERE VERY NICE TO ME AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS VIP TRAVEL!

Just recieved my Birthday voucher today and decide to google it. I'm a travel agent of 20yrs and felt this was too good to be true, and it is.
"Buyers Beware"...Free is Free!
