MORE LIKE WE SCAM AMERICA
I was contacted by this company after a drawing I entered at a baseball game. The woman was overly excited, claiming I had won a drawing for a free vacation getaway. Yay, I thought! Her name was Alyssa, and she explained that this was a "one time only" call and proceeded to explain details while being overly nice and cracking lighthearted jokes.
She asked me if I had a husband or significant other in the room and asked that he also be put on the call. My boyfriend joined the call, and after 40 minutes of pumping us about Cancun, Florida, Vegas, New Orleans, etc, we were actually pretty excited. Continuing to use humor, she stated that I deserved a nice vacation some breakfast in bed from by boyfriend, so be warned, another one of the tactics is some guilt leverage on your significant other's behalf.
Next, she mentioned that she needed my credit card number to change $498 and secure the order. I was hesitant to give up my credit card info, but I did. I then asked to have a moment to discuss the "Free Trip" before making a decisions. After a quick google search I found a plethora of complaints against the company, I expressed that I did NOT authorize my card to be charged, but that didn't stop them! When I returned to the phone, Alyssa, had already RAN MY CREDIT CARD UNAUTHORIZED for $498.00.
I was then told I was uneducated and ignorant by the woman.
THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM AND THEIR WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE A TURD!!!

NONE
I bought a package I was selected for last year. We just got back from our spring break trip and it was FANTASTIC!!! I know I was very leary at first but the director eased my mind showing me all the liscense and such as I am a very skepital person because Ive been taken many times before... I went through with it because of the 100% money back guarantee, and Im very satisfied!! The Florida trip was great with the family anf I cant wait until this summer becasue they even gave be a special trip to VEGAS! Thanks to Stacy, and customer service they have been such a great help!! Looking forward to many more trips with them. I learned a lesson, everything that seems too good to be true always isnt!!

Company is a SCAM
In February 2011 I attened an outdoor show in Monroeville, PA were I signed up for several drawings. A few weeks later I received a phone call from a man who asked me if I was sitting down then told me I won a free vacation package to several destinations and the package was worth something like $3, 000. After his spill I told him I saved all my vacation time up for hunting season since I was a whitetail hunting freak. He then preceded to tell me that I could pick from several destination some of which offered great hunting and fishing. He made it sound like everything was included except the travel. After I agreed the man told me he would need me to submit a payment of $498 to receive this great winnings. So I questioned him on way I would need to pay for something I won and he told me that if they would give it to me for free I would have to pay more then $498 dollars to the IRS for taxes. Being gullible I gave in and agreed. A day or two later I received my package information via email. After looking into everything I learned that I could have gotten the same so called deal via their website and none of the packages included hunting or fishing, only a place to stay. I immediately called the compnay and after several attempts I finally got ahold of a lady to tell her I wanted to cancel and get my money back since the terms and conditions stated YOU MAY CANCEL THIS CONTRACT WITHOUT ANY PENALTY OR OBLIGATION WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE OR RECEIPT OF THE VACATION CERTIFICATE, WHICHEVER OCCURS LATER. After a long conversation with her as she told me how great a company they were that only ever had one complaint who happed to be a kid that got ahold of the parents credit card (wish I would have said no and looked at this site first) I told her I did not get what I was sold and wanted my refund now. Finally she told me that I needed to put an "x" through the terms and conditions page and mail it to them with an explaination of why I wanted to cancel.
In the meantime, I also filed a complaint with my bank and ended up getting my money back. However, I just learned that the bank refunded the amount while the investigation took place. I though all was good until the bank sent me a letter stating I lost my claim because I was out of town and did not fill out some paper work they sent me (They are no longer my bank). I called We Tour America to find out were my refund was and all and behold they never got the cancellation I mailed and the 30 days were up so to bad for me but not refund. If I ever get the pleasure to met Mr. John Hummell IV I promise I will stick my Marine Corps boot where the sun does not shine for all he has scammed.

Scam and fraud
they phoned me up and said i got this awesome deal, discount deal on a trip to Orlando Florida. They said they would send me a package in the mail, which i never recieved, and that i would also get on via email. I go the email, but no package in the mail.
I emailed through their webiste about a month after, and said that i no longer wanted this package, as they told me that i could cancel anytime. Well, when i went to refund and cancel, they told me on the phone i had 30 days after confirmation. Well, now I'm out $513 before Christmas. i phoned the lady at Customer Service, and she basically told me that i could not refund it, that i was locked in. that i had 30 days, and if i opened the attachment, which i never recieved, that i would have read that.
Now I'm out $513 for christmas. its a SCAM

Wanted credit card for free trip
Were contacted on 11/28/10 on a Sunday night that I had just been selected from 10, 000 people who attended the North American Livestock Expo that I had won a free Disney Vacation that I put my name in a drawing for. Was I sitting down?? Was questioned why I was so calm as most people were screaming in his ear! I was sceptical and that is why I was calm-wanted to hear the details and determine the hook. Asked if my husband would get on the phone. Explained we won a free 4 day 3 night trip to Disney at a Marriot or Hilton Hotel and then a 4 day 3 night trip to Orlando and then could chose 2 bonus vacations from a list of 20 through a hot spot on the internet. Gave me the internet site and a phone number to call after I hung up the phone. Asked me my childrens names and said they would be free and that my husband and I had an 80%discount for only $249 each. Wait-- wasn't this a free trip I just won. Asked for our credit card numer and when my husband told him we don't give that out over the phone. He got upset and said he had never been questioned before. That they were bonded in FLorida and that the Expo we attended check them out and only allow legitamite businesses. Said we could not hang up the phone to look them up but gave me a phone number and a license number in FLorida. My husband and I quick looked them up as we were talking and felt this was a scam of some sort. We got back on the phone and barely got the sorry we are just not comfortable out of our mouth when the man hung up on us. Afterward I spent some time looking this company up and am determined that if I had given them my credit card number, they would have taken $500 out of my account and then not refunded it if I had changed my mind on the so called FREE trip. Total Scam!!!

Scam!
I got a call from this company today(9-29-10) with their SCAM!!! My boyfriend and I attended a motorcycle rally here in GA and the first thing they did was to pressure us into registering for this contest. Well 4 days later, we get a call and they guy asks to talk to me. He tells me congratulations that I've won a trip to Florida. He asks if my husband (apparently he thought my boyfriend was my husband lol) was around to talk with him as well about the details. Well we were at dinner so I tell him that we can't really talk right then so he said he would call us back in about an hour. We hung up and my boyfriend called a friend to tell them about it and as he was calling, he got another call from this company saying that he had won. He told them that that was funny seeing as we had just talked to a guy saying that I had won. So at this time we figured it was probably a scam of some sort. Well we waited for the guy to call back so we could have a little fun with him and an hour later he called back right on time. This time my boyfriend answered the phone and we put it on speaker so we could both hear. The guy again told us congratulations and then began his spill of the details. He was adament about us writing down the name of the company and he went through the details so quickly that we couldn't even get a word in to ask a question. He told us that we had won a 4 day 3 night trip to Orlando with our choice of 2 hotels and $200 in park passes and then we would go to Daytona for another 4 day 3 night trip. After that we would get to pick 2 other destinations out of a list and go on trips to those as well. Then the kicker...even though we had "won" this trip package, we would be getting it at 70% of cost. WHAT? I thought we had WON a trip...hmmmm...well he had already told us that the only out of pocket expenses were the travel to get to the destination. Again...hmmmm...well then my boyfriend tells him that we can't go on these trips because he is a brain surgeon (which of course he isn't) and that he can only be within 4 hours of the hospital because of being the only one for that hospital. HAHA. Well they guy then goes...well if you are a brain surgeon then why do you not make more than $40, 000 a year? My boyfriend then told him that he never said he didn't make more than $40, 000 a year and the guy told him yes you did, it's right here on your sheet. My boyfriend said oh well and the guy asked if he put incorrect information on his sheet and my boyfriend told him yes. He quickly and very rudely said well then you don't qualify and hung up. While it was fun to mess around with these scammers because we knew it was a scam, it's sad that these are out there and that sometimes they do get to people. Just be careful and know that WE TOUR AMERICA is a SCAM!!! I go by the general rule that I know I never win anything because I have terrible luck so if a company like this says I won...it must be a scam! It's worked for me so far! Hope this helps anyone who is checking into this company!!!

FREE TRIP
I WAS CALLED STATING I HAD JUST WON A FREE TRIP TO DISNEY AND OTHER TRIPS TO THE BEACH AND MINI VACATIONS.THEN SAID IT WOULD BE $498 BILLED TO ANY CREDIT CARD WE HAD AND THE TRIP WOULD BE OURS.
AT FIRST IT SOUNDED GOOD BUT AS WE WERE TALKING TO HER I HAD TO LOOK AT BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WHICH THEY WERE NOT ACCREDITED WITH! THEN I LOOKED UP THE COMPANY NAME ON GOOGLE TO SEE WHAT WEBSITES HAD ABOUT THEM. THERE WERE RED FLAGS GOING UP!
MY HUSBAND HAD GIVEN THEM THE CREDIT CARD NUMBER BUT WHEN THEN THEY ASKED TO VERIFY I SAID NO AND ONCE I SAID THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE COMPANY SHE GAVE US THEIR WEBSITE. THEN SHE STATED SHE WOULD TAKE AN EXTRA HUNDRED OFF IF WE RECONSIDERED.
WE TOLD HER NO THANKS AND THAT THEY WEREN'T AUTHORIZED TO TAKE A PENNY OUT OF OUR ACCOUNT EVER. AS WE WERE GETTING OFF THE PHONE THE AMOUNT HAD ALREADY BEEN TAKEN FROM THE ACCOUNT! HOPEFULLY WE CAN KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO ANY ONE ELSE!

Poor Customer Service
On May 7, 2009 I received a phone call from We Tour America promoting their vacation package. I have had great experiences with other vacation companies, so I went ahead and signed up for We Tour America. On May 22, 2009 I tried to contact the compnay and there was no answer. So on May 26, 2009 I contacted We Tour America to request a refund. I spoke to one of their representatives and she stated that a refund could not be issued. I cited 559.933 Florida Statue. After much disagreement, the We Tour America Representative still held on to that a refund could not be issued. On April 27, 2010, I tried to make a reservation for one of the vacations. The customer service was extremely rude and not helpful in providing assistance in making a reservation. I have serious doubts if I will be able to redeem this package. If you have had a poor experience with We Tour America; file a complaint with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service; Division of Consumer Services. You can file a complaint online at http://www.800helpfla.com/complnt.html. The process to file a complaint is easy and simple. Do not allow We Tour America to take advantage of you!!

Terrible experience
In the begining of March 2008 my wife and I attended the Carl Casper Auto Show in Louisville, KY where she signed us up for a drawing for a free Disney vacation. A couple of weeks later I received a phone call. The female on the other end asked if I was sitting down and then told me that I had won a Disney vacation. She acted upset that I was not suprised. I asked her how was I to know that she wasn't someone running a scam. (Turns out she was.)
She assured me that she represented a credible company then went on to explain to me how they give these vacations away. My wife and I were to tour some hotels or resorts and then tell our freinds how great they were. All I had to do was pay $399.00 for this package up front. Some free vacation! I ended up telling her that I was not interested and could not afford it and hung up the phone.
She called back a few minutes later. This time I was told that all I had to pay was 50% up front, and if I wished to cancel I could do so at ANY time and receive a full refund. Like a fool, I ended I handed the phone to my wife and allowed her to purchase the package over the phone. This was on March 27 2008.
Over the past year I've realized that I'm not going to be able to aford to go on this so called free vacation. Especially after losing my job a couple of months ago. On March 25, 2009 I called for the refund that I was told I would get at anytime. They told me that I was only able to receive a refund after the first 30 days of the purchase. Then they played a recording of my wife purchasing the package over the phone and no where did they mention anything about their refund policy to her. And this recording is supposed to be some sort of legal contract apparently.
When my wife talked to them the woman on the phone called her stupid and ignorant. How's that for customer service?
These people will lie to you and tell you that you are not obligated to go on one of their vacations and that they will refund your money at anytime just to get to your hard earned money.
Beware of We Tour America and the President John Hummell, who also was the owner of Grand Vacation Getaways which is now out of buisiness, and has had numerous complaints filed against them. These people will take your money and laugh in your face and apparently what they do is legal! God bless America.
