Not providing what they promised

About a year ago I spoke with a representative of Westgate Cruise and travel who promised all kinds of points and cash toward travel in exchange for several thousand dollars. It sounded good so I gave them around $1500 up front, $230 a month then in March when I called to book a Disney Cruise I paid off the membership with a final payment of $694. I then proceeded over the next couple of months to give a total of $6091 towards the cruise. Now they claim that I owe the balance completely out of pocket. In other words the thousands of dollars I gave them before has just disappeared and no one will help me figure out what happened to it. I have called repeatedly and spoken to several different people and I just get the same rundown of the $6091 I paid out of pocket since I tried to book the cruise as though they were doing me a favor by crediting all of it toward the cruise, which they claim they have booked but I still haven't received email confirmation after requesting it multiple times. I've also left numerous messages for my "concierge" but have not received a call back. I even sent an email to the person heading up membership in Arrivia without receiving any response.s

Can't renew my certificates - it is a scam.

I bought the certificates for 2 7-day stays for 2 adults and 2 kids with lifetime validity. They told me that i can use those anytime by paying for reactivation fees of $150. But they are now saying I can't . These people read from the script and don't understand the english. Stay away or be careful when you make bookings.

Aloha Hawaii Tours - staff lies when scheduling webinar

Owned by Arrivia, Aloha Hawaii Tours staff lies when scheduling webinar to hear about their services. Scheduling staff said I WOULD FOR SURE "receive 5 Days and 4 Nights Hotel stay,That you can use 3 to 5 Star accommodations in the city of your choice of over 50 of the most popular Destinations Available. Valid for 24 months and good for family 2 kids and 2 adults after completing the presentation." I listened attentively to the webinar, but did not want to pay for the service, so I passed. It sounded a lot like Travel Transparency, though was said to be different. I never received any accomodations follow-up. Checked spam/junk mail... nothing there. Inquired with the person's text who sent webinar link, they have stopped responding. This is BAD business. Buyer beware!!
