Harrassing

I bought a $500 package from the in 2017 that never expires. I keep getting phone calls saying that it expired and I have to purchase an upgrade. I did so and was told that would never expire. It expired and that called again for an upgrade. I told them no. Now I have another company calling me saying that travel Options wants $8000 because I breached their contract supposedly, but this fulfillment company would settle it out for $1000 and close it out. All based on threats and harassment. Cant get my money back.

Fraud

Made appointment with us claiming to be associated with Bluegreen timeshares. When we got there, they have no association and tried to sell us their program. After an hour, this guy Sam was talking in circles until I had no idea what he was talking about!! Saying we should not be paying maintenance fees or using points to make out reservations. We finally got up and walked out as Sam says he is recording us because we don't have time to go through the tour and we have to sign the forms before we can leave! Hahaha!

Scammed

I paid Select Travel Options $1999.00 in 2021 to list my timeshare for rent or sale and as of today, it is still not sold and has not been rented. When I call to ask the status, I'm always told the same thing and I should be patient.

It's been almost 2 years and no activity. My most recent call, I requested a refund of my $1999 since they have breached the contract. They don't want to give my money back so I'm told they are still advertising my timeshare.

I said I don't want you to do anymore advertising, I just want a refund, contract states that if they cannot make a sale I get my money back. It's all a lie, I been robbed

This isn't an actual review of the company, just a review of what I've been reading from people's reviews.

I have received several calls from the company asking me to invest. I am very leary of "Sounds to good to be true " situations. I had spoken with someone the first time they've called but have been busy each other call. After reading most of your responses/reviews I'm not sure if I should waste my time with a return call. Thanks everyone for your help.

I have no idea how they got my number but they call 10-20 times a day from slightly different #'s so blocking them does nothing.

Travel Options - Dont talk to these people
5/6 yrs have gone by and I am still getting pressured calls. Ive told them every time (hundreds) that I cannot travel die to illness. Todays call was some pompous *** who outright accused me of not wanting to travel. After 15 strokes, flying isnt an option and riding is very painful after a few minutes. I have decided I am going to pursue legal action for verbal abuse, mental stress and harassment. My name is Christina Jordan in NC. STOP CALLING ME!!!

Although I HAVE purchased a vacation package from them, (which i am FINALLY about to take) I still receive calls from them almost WEEKLY... and have for years!

It's quite annoying. Especially when they act like they have no knowledge of the packages you previously purchased and haven't used yet and they try to sell you MORE.

Disappointment

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
When we took out the options a year ago they never said you had to be between 30 to 70 we were 71. We just found out we can only go on 3 of the 7 trips. They never said we could not gift it to a 25 year old and make over $50,000 So my grandson could not use it for honeymoon. They told us we had 18 months but just found out we are now expired. Could not travel but for $400 more they would extend it 2 years The email package sucked and was not user friendly and not informative. Stay away from them. Unless you can travel all the time and are under 70 and dont mind not knowing where you are staying until you book your trip. They are NOT A rated company

Don't purchase from them.

We purchased two different packages from Travel Options one in 2017 and another in 2018. When I tried to make plans for travel I was told they were not available. We spent $397 and $425 for these package. I do not recommend this company.

Never got what was promised

I purchased 2 separated vacations packages from Travel Options, I was told it was transferable, but since I live in Colorado and there was nothing available around this region, I tried to transfer it to a family in Florida. I was told that since she lives in Florida, she didn't qualify for it. I lost my packages, since the company wanted more money to extend it. You will never get from this company what they promise to you.

Not too pissed at all

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
First, I didn't realize this was a site for pissed customers. I was Googling Travel Options. I bought a package around 8 years ago for around $250. I didn't use all the trips, but I did go to Vegas on the plan. I stayed at the Excalibur for my husband's 50th birthday, went on a timeshare tour and they brought us right back to the hotel without a hassle. That was my story. I didn't have any issues with scheduling. Had a decent experience with them. They have sold my expired package to another company now and I'm about to buy more trips for $199 which includes Hawaii. For $399 it could include Thailand. Wish me luck!

Travel Options travel package SCAM

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I've spent $1000 to buy travel package from them. It's close to the end of the term, and I've making many attempts to contract them and have my first reservation been made before package expires. But the travel coordinator never calls me back to make reservation one month before the package expires. I have to call them everyday since I submit reservation form, and called everyday to chase after travel coordinator. Upto Now, 6/7/2019, there is still no phone call from Travel options to make travel arrangement. Joanne ***
