This is the question we asked ourselves after finding out that the Travel To Go marketing approach is a scam and a well organized rip-off scheme.
Great presentation and great vacation package until you read the fine print in the VIP Membership program they hand over to you AFTER YOU HAVE SIGNED UP.

If you have been scammed you probably feel sick to your stomach however you may be able to get help from your credit card company* (if you bought the package using your credit card).
They helped us! CALL THEM NOW AND FILE A COMPLAINT.
Apparently Travel To Go Inc. is well known for their fraudulent business practice which is tied to “short lived” distributors and “travel agents” promoting their “product”.

It appears they repeat somewhat identical schemes across the country. Here is how they got to us.
Travel To Go or their “distributor” sends out post cards via USPS promising free airline tickets to anywhere in the Continental United States if you attend a sales presentation.
When you call the number they tell you that you will receive two FREE airline tickets** and a FREE rental car for a week if you attend their presentation.

NOTE: Travel To Go Inc. is not yet mentioned anywhere.
Instead you will be referred to a “Travel Agent”. In our case Vacation Professionals Inc,
13 Branch Street Suite 105
Methuen, MA 01844
Phone number 978 683 4400
Also traced to:
133 Main St
North Andover, MA 01845

Tab Ferguson, claiming to be a retired US Marine made a great presentation of the benefits we could expect from Travel to To Inc. He introduced TTG as a market leader in wholesale vacation packages and explained that AAA used them as their main supplier. TTG were also the preferred travel agent for GE among other large corporations.
As a member we would have direct access to the wholesale market.

During the presentation they offered us additional benefits if we signed up “today”
• A $1000 travel voucher valid for 24 months.
• A Cancun trip
• A free Condo week.

To make a long story short, we were presented with a great package that would benefit our entire family and we signed!!!
Subsequently Elisa Werbe also asked us to sign some additional forms with various disclaimers, one of them actually stated that “the Service Contract is a legally binding agreement and not subject to a right of rescission under law or regulation”. Actually we had no intention to rescind because the benefits and the overall plan were very attractive.
However none of the benefits could be honored by Travel To Go Inc because Vacation Professionals Inc – Distributor for Travel To Go Inc had gone out of business.

** We filled out the paperwork for the free rental car and airline tickets and mailed it by certified mail to:
VIP Travel Reservations Inc.
4606 S Clyde Morris Blvd St 1P
Port Orange, FL 32129
Alternative dates were submitted (two for the airline tickets and three for the rental car). Consequently don’t expect to match the rental car lease with the date of your arrival.
…anyway don’t expect to the airline tickets either because they will send you a letter telling you that “we can not process your request due to availability within our allotment”.
FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD!!!
The rules for selecting the dates are set up to make it almost impossible to pick travel dates. VIP Travel Reservation’s Terms and Conditions states: “ This offer is not available on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr., Presidents Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Spring Break, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas or a full seven days before and after any of these holidays, Peak season is during the months of June, July and August for all states. For Florida, Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Colorado it also includes January, February and March.”
In addition they require 45 or 60 days between the travel dates you select.
