We received an invitation to the seminar, beforehand, I was assured 1) no sales pressure 2) not a time share 3) my accomodations were guaranteed at no out of pocket except tax and additional day. It all sounded great, as soon as the seminar was over, we were assigned a sales person. Once we made our intention clear, not to buy into their product for $15K plus. I new pressure man was assigned to us. he was beligurent, when I asked for my voucher, the original person got irate and just about threw the letter at us. I have been complying to all their request except the $50 payment, which they claimed was not necessary. Today, again I received a letter asking for dates and locations what have been previously proveded. I phoned the office, all mailboxes are full, you can no longer get through. My original sales person was Peter, doubt that it means anything. This is a timesahre ripoff for travel.
Sounds like the meeting held at the Hilton Sacramento by 4 Seasons Travel using the Millenium Vouchers. Simple cure. I reported them to the Attorney Generals Offices of California, Florida, and Washington DC. I also sent copies to the Hilton Chain Let's see what happens next
The activities of this organization apopear to be deceptive and misleading while partnering with another organization, Inspiration Travel which appears to be in the same vein.
My wife and I attended a travel presentation in bellingham, WA on June 8, 2014 arranged for by Save-on-Resorts. They purported to provide hoghly discounted travel by joining their travel club. In exchange, they promised two (2) free airline tickets to anywhere in the continental U.S. along with a two (2) night stay in any of over 1000 Marriott resorts. We paid a total of $2995. The documentation was fillied out under Inspiration Travel.. We discovered later in planning travel that we could obtain the same or better rates through other sources so their advertising was misleading to say the least.
When we arranged for the free package we found we were dealing with a third organization, Millennium travel & Promotions, Inc.
They also notified us there was a $100 deposit which was never mentioned in the presentation.. There were also EXTREME conditions which had to be met.! We paid the $100 via cashier's check dated 6/18/14. We were to choose three (3) destinations and three (3) dates which we did. We were then told that we did not meet one of their conditions. Therefore we filed again.
We were to receive the tickets and documentation very shortly before the trip. When we didn't receive them we contacted them and they purported to have sent both. They stated they could refund the $100 deposit and, in the end decided we did not want to continue dealing with Millennium and requested the refund.. This conversation took place on June 1, 2015. The contact was a Cathy (Kathy?).
When this check had not been received I called on July 17 and talked with Victor?. He staed they sent the check out the beginning of June. Not receiving something mailed once might (?) be understandable. To not receive a second mailing is very highly unlikely!
I don't suspect these companies will ever change unless they are forced to. It was our fault that we did not do diligent research during the 3 day review period. I trust anyone reading this will take our advice and avoid all three mentioned companies.

Thank you for the lesson.
We went to one of your pressure seminars, decided to take just the free flight promotion,
handed over $50, received a flight date form, which we returned, and never heard from you again.
Oh well, so much for honesty. We assume we just paid $50 for an education in legalized theft.
Please accept our admiration on an excellent business model for bilking people out of money.
Hopefully, you won't go to jail.
