Unreasonable unfair rules and non refundable money
My dad (from Europe) is coming to visit me (to San Francisco) and he bought a vacation package in Mexico on bookit.com . Plans changed and his flight tickets are NOT REFUNDABLE, NON TRANSFERABLE and he has to use them in a year. NOBODY care that he is from Europe and he is not going to fly over the ocean to use his $788 credit for flight with Alaska Airlines (I talked to their customer representitive and had a really great experience. Sadly, they are limited what they can do..).

Come on, bookit.com, be more human and not so uptight about your rules! Flight over the Atlantic ocean costs more than the credit!! And we are not talking about $100 that would be easy to part with but $788.

I am speechless and now I understand how bookit.com can afford such a nice office with expensive furniture – taking money from people who bought from bookit.com with their open kind heart expecting to be helped when needed and appreciated as customers and got ripped off because bookit.com are nothing else but a big nicely wrapped scam agency.

With all my respect, I feel embarassed for people who work for bookit.com and I really believe that rules are fine, but exception and willingness to help your customer is more important than sticking with something what will bring you money but will ruin your brand’s name.. Way to go bookit.com!!! If you treat more people like this, you will be out of business soon.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, they tell how much they appreciate their customers on their website and in reality I had to call 3 times, wait more than 30 minutes each time, leave my phone number for a call back and tell how unsatisfied I was with bookit.com on Twitter to get their attention and my call back, which was useless anyways.

Stay away and tell your friends to stay away from bookit.com. By using their service you put yourself in a position where you won’t get support, help and most likely something will go wrong on your trip at some point (this is what I understood from reviews I found online.)

Booking
STAY FAR AWAY!

I am planning a trip to Las Vegas for myself and my husband at the end of the month. I unfortunatly assumed that a travel site of this calibur would be legit, and have some idea of a clue how to book an actual flight, and reserve a hotel room. I was sorely mistaken.
I chose my departing/return flight, and hotel room, entered my personal & credit card information and hit the 'send' button. A page popped up that read 'An unexpected error occured, please call (888) 782-9722 or go back to try again'. Being that the card was valid, and I entered my information correctly, I decided not to book with Bookit.com. I then checked my bank account...$639 charged from Bookit.com from Panama City Florida!!! I called the customer service number, which is complete BS. I had called twice previously and requested to have an agent call me, rather that stay on hold until 2015, I still have not received that call back. So, I called back a third time... I was on hold for 47 minutes!!! After telling the man on the phone the situatuon, he looked up my info, and said that the trip had gone through. He transfered me to Customer Service. Another 36 minutes, I speak to a lady, who, again, cannont help me, and she transfers me to the Payment Department...21 minutes later, I speak with another lady. I explain my situation for a third time. She couldn't understand why I couldn't give her a flight number, or booking number. She said that's the only way she could look up my information. I explained to her that I never got any numbers, just a page that said 'try again'. She said that Bookit.com had no record of my name, address, or credit card number. This is completly frustrating, seeing that I now have a $639 charge from them. My bank will not release the funds without a statement from Bookit.com confirming that there was no purchase, but Bookit.com has no record of any transaction.
This is complete BS!!! Stay far far FAR away. I could only imagine what would happen if I actually got to Vegas, and I needed assistance regarding my trip. If they can't even get the 'payment' part right, imagine what a nightmare it would be getting anything else accomplished.
I'm surprized there hasn't been some kind of investigation regarding their business practices.
Will keep you updated to see if I get my money back for a trip that doesn't exsist.

never get refund/RIP OFF
Montego Bay, Jamaica
First, they mistakenly charged me extra 100 dollars. they first claimed that it was not a mistake. Fortunately, I used the "printscreen" and saved the proof. They finally agreed to refund me. But after 2 months, I still did not see anything on my account. I called them again and they said that the refund was proved long time ago. Later they called me again and said that the refund was "on hold" and they donot know why. Later, they said they already approved it and I can see my refunds in 10 days. NEVER TRUST BOOKIT.COM
Secondly, there was a free cruise in our reservation. However, it did not show in the voucher. After we arrived at Montego Bay, they said that we should contact bookit for the cruise. I called them again (very expensive international calling fee), they did not show any apologise and they added us to a cruise trip. Obviously, they just used it an ad and if you never ask they would never post your free trips.
This company just trying to RIP OFF and NEVER WORK WITH THEM!!!

No complaint here
We had absolutely no problems with Bookit.com when we took a trip to an all inclusive resort in Punta Cana, Domenican Republic. We were newbies at traveling out of the country, but everything from the airline e-tickets, to ground transportation, to resort reservations were taken care of. The worst thing about the trip was we did not get to sit together on the plane, but even that gave us a break from each other.

poor product and service
Last year my wife and I booked a vacation through Bookit.comm to Sandos Resort in Playa Del Carmen Mexico. Without getting into too much detail about the horrors of the vacation that I posted on the Sandos Scam thread here " http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/royal-elite-at-sandos-resorts-c153386.html?sort=datea&page=7&selcom=706547#c706547 " The travel agent that advertised the resort as a 4 star resort as well as refused to post up my poor review of the place, has done nothing themselves to make good for a horrible vacation. They falsey advertise and selectively edit the actual reviews of the resort on their web site, in fact if you go to their site you will see the last updated review for Sandos is from October of 2009 and not one negative review. I find it hard to believe that there has been all positive reviews of Sandos, seeing the thread about Sandos and their deceptive practices.

As far as I'm concerned Bookit.com should stand behind the products they sell and tell the truth and stop deceiving people with their false reviews. Had i read this message board prior to going to Sandos, i would have went elsewhere.

False advertising
I booked a hotel reservation for 5 nights in Costa Rica for 12/25-12/31. The advertised rate was $85 per room, per night for 2 adults, 2 kids. Several days later and after over 15 phone calls (many international), it turns out they had wrong hotel contact info and hotel did not have availablity. Hotel said the rate was supposed to be $85 PER PERSON, per night and hotel would not honor the booking. Bookit negotiated with hotel and this was their offer: Bookit would to pay a higher rate for us but the problem was they only had a room for 3 out of the 5 nights. They had no idea where we could stay the other 2 nights since all area hotels were booked. Finally, I canceled the reservation and am awaiting a refund. They charged my credit card, did not honor the advertised rate, and had no solution to the problem. They need to be held accountable for false advertising and not honoring the agreement with the consumer. So, we have flight reservations with nowhere to stay. My first and last booking with them.

Hotel confirmation
Hearing all the negative reviews of BookIt.com, I'm getting nervous about my purchase at BookIt.com.

I reserved and paid in full to BookIt.com a hotel in Las Vegas. I booked this more than one month before I actually arrive in Las Vegas. I called the hotel to confirm whether they received my reservation from BookIt.com. They said no. I called BookIt.com right away, and they told me since I only booked my hotel not even 24 hours ago, it would take time for my confirmation -- even though I had already received an email confirmation from BookIt.com 12 hours about booking on their website. Anybody have experience? How long does it take a major hotel in Las Vegas to confirm a BookIt.com reservation? I note that on my BookIt.com voucher, there a BookIt.com reservation confirmation number, but there's nothing on the voucher that has a hotel confirmation number. Thoughts, anyone?

canceling reservation
I will never book with Bookit.com again. They called me the day before my trip to confirm my hotel, so the day I arrived at the airport they left me a message saying my hotel was over booked. I spent an hour on the phone making them find me another hotel. They offered me a refund but I was already in Nyc so where was I suppose stay. Luckily enough they found me a hotel in a good area but it was such a hassle to deal with this. So I ended up staying 6 days in a smokers room and I don't even smoke. I appreciate their help but will never deal with them again. This isn't how you run a business.

LARGEST RIP OFF EVER
Just spoke to Bookit's customer service. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!! As soon as this company gets your credit card number for booking; you might as well bend over and get ready for the obvious; because that is what is going to happen. When myself and two other people had booked the Great Parnassus in Cancun, and all three of us ended up in the Hotetur Beach Paradise, it was more than a coincidence. When an agent from Bookit sent me a note stating that they overbooked the first hotel and relocated us; the custimer service agent explained that away by saying the first agent must have been confused (they will probably throw her under the bus to try and save face). The second agent I talked to has "been at Bookit.com for three and a half years and this is the frist time she has ever heard this complaint"! Evidently they don't read the complaints against this RIPOFF company as part of their job. All I can say is: SAVE YOUR MONEY. BOOK THROUGH A REAL COMPANY!!! THIS COMPANY IS A RIPOFF!!!
