I also am very upset with Bookvip.com. If more of us have complaints about their cancellation issues, then something is definitely wrong! I am requesting at least, a partial refund!

Hello Lindy,

Thank you for your valuable feedback.

The Reservation Details governing the package were reviewed with you when you called to book your travel dates, and you agreed to them with your electronic signature.

The Reservation Details that you agreed to clearly state that the package is not refundable and that you would receive a store credit in the event your dates were canceled within the resort’s Rescheduling Policy.

As per your previous conversation with one of our representatives, you agreed to cancel your reservation and receive a store credit. Additionally, due to Covid, and your current unemployment status, we have made an exception to our policies, and have provided you with a store credit that has no expiration date.

You can use your store credit towards any package on our website for which you are eligible (including U.S. destinations), or you may transfer your package to another party who is eligible for the promotion.

All you need to do is call 888.845.0602 when you are ready to book your next vacation or transfer it to a third party.

Thank you.
Kind regards,

Meet me halfway and at least a partial refund. I do not want to travel, nor within the next 2 years. I'm unemployed now, and want at least a partial refund due to covid-19 pandemic and no fault of my own.

I booked a reservation, not knowing that covid-19, the pandemic would hit, and take the lives of over 500.000 humans in the US alone. We are unemployed on top of it all.

I'm only requesting at least a partial refund and asking that Bookvip meet me half way, and they refuse to issue me a refund during this hardship and pandemic!!!! I requested to speak with a manager or someone with a higher leadership level to make a decision, and the rep would not allow me to speak with anyone! Wow! This is very frustrating and not a good customer experience at all!

They will take your money and not care at all.

I'm trying to cancel due to Covid-19 pandemic, and I'm only requesting at least a partial refund. They have been unreasonable and keeping my hard earned money when I am now unemployed and in a hardship situation like so many!

User's recommendation: Book YOUR OWN vacation! Do not book a vacation with BOOKvip.

DURING THESE HIGH RISK COVID TIMES BOOK VIP SHOULD HONOR TO CANCEL AND REFUND PEOPLES MONEY. I HAVE HAS COVIS 2 AND AM VERY HIGH RISK AND WOULD LIKE MY FULL REFUND.

WHATS IT TAKE TO GET ALL BACK DUE TO NOT WANTING TO RISK MY AND MINE FAMILIES LIVES DURING THIS PANDAMIC. THERE IS NO TIME STAMPED ON THIS VIRUS AND I AM UNWILLING TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER COUNTRY TO BE A HIGHER RISK TO AMERICA UPON TRAVEL. IF WE DONT STOP THIS, THE COVID WILL NEVER DIE DOWN, ON TOP OF MY SON HAD A MAJOR HEAQD SURGERY AND SHAS MORE TO COME AND WE ARE NOT RISKING HIS HEALTH FOR ONE SINGLE MOMENT. SURGERIES WILL BE SOREAD OUT OVER THE NEXT 3 YEARS, SO IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE THIS PACKAGE BEFORE IT EXPIRES.

BOOK VIP HAVE SOME COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE AND THEM NOT WILLING TO RISK THEIR LIFE DUE TO THEIR CICUMSTANCES.

REFUND PEOPLE WITH OUT QUESTION DURING THIS PANDEMIC. WE DID NOT PURCHASE THIS WITH KNOWING THAT THE WHOLE WORLD WAS GOING TO BE ON LOCK DOWN..VERY SAD PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY, I COULD USE IT FOR MEDICAL BILLS INSTEAD OF A TRIP THATS HIGH RISK AS WELL NEVER GOING TO BE AN OPTION.

NO ONE WAS TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE A PANDEMIC WHEN PURCHASING THESE PACKAGES, AND ONE THAT INVOLVES EXTREMLY HIGH RISKS....

Do Not Recommend BookVIP!

Hello Arlette,

It is unfortunate that you were not able to visit the Krystal Resort for your vacation. It is the participating resort provider who sets forth the eligibility requirements - not BookVIP.

Please be advised that we do not make outgoing sales calls – the only calls a customer receives after they call us to book their vacation are to complete the Resort’s Welcome Call (when applicable) or if an issue arises with the booking.

All eligibility requirements are reviewed with each customer during the sales call. The Terms and Conditions are then sent to the customer in writing, reviewed again, and the customer must agree to the Terms and Conditions with their electronic signature before the dates are sent to the resort provider.

None of the resort providers require a combined annual income of $100,000.

It is clearly stated in the Terms and Conditions, which you agreed to in writing, that the first night in Mexico must be spent at the resort. Since you violated that requirement, you were no longer eligible for the highly discounted promotion.

All sales are final and non-refundable (also clearly stated in the Terms and Conditions), and you have been given a store credit for the amount you were charged.

Please feel free to call 888.849.8450 if you would like to book another vacation with us and a highly-trained representative will be happy to assist you.

Thank you.
Kind regards,

Terrible customer service, they bug you to death with high pressure sales pitch calls even ahead of your vacation. They asked for multiple forms of ID and your annual income, threatening us that if we didn't make more than $100k we would not "qualify" and they would terminate our vacation.

All we agreed to was a 2hr no-obligation presentation! They got upset that we did not arrive the day of our reservation, we arrived a few days earlier by plane for a longer stay in Cancun. They cancelled our reservation after we told them we stayed with a relative there. It is none of their business when I arrive or leave nor who I stay with when I am on vacation!

I don't live there! Stay

I recommemd staying far away from this company, what a misrepresentation of a vacation purchase! With the "extra" fees for prime dates and limited hotel availability we felt like the originl $599 deal was misrepresented and it ultimately didn't end up being a great deal! What a mistake to treat someone that has visited over 30 countries and has almost 2 million flight miles..and no not credit card points!

Now they don't want to issue me a refund but extend the expiration date? I want nothing more to do with this company and will certainly not recommend their trickery!

User's recommendation: Certainly do NOT recommend!

EXTREMLY DISSAPPOINTED

I thought this was a great christmas gift idea to give to my son -being that I live in a different state I was assured after booking I could have something sent to me with my sons name on it, so I can mail it to him as a gift- I was assured it would not be a problem. So I went online and booked it. I called last week to change the reservation to his name. I was told it was taken care of. I went and checked this morning and it wasn't. I spoke with another person today over the chat who said to call customer service, and they would take care of it. I called customer service- and was told it couldnt be transferred until they spoke to him to verify information. Being that this completely defeats the purpose of a Christmas surprise I asked to cancel the reservation. I was then told It couldnt be canceled now. I need to wait to receive from someone in a different department and that would take 24-48 hours. I feel lied to and super sad that this happened.. what happened to HONESTY! Dont lie to customers!!!!

Canceled reservation without notification

Dear Natalia,
We regret that you were not able to enjoy your vacation at the Tahiti Village as you had planned.
The resort discovered that you would be joining another group at the resort, and were no longer eligible for the promotional rate because of the group travel policy which is outlined in the eligibility requirements (Terms and Conditions) that you agreed to in writing when you made your reservation.
Although your vacation package is non-refundable, you have been given a store credit for the full amount that you were charged. You have 24-months to use your store credit towards any package on our website for which you are eligible.
All you need to do is call 888.845.0602 when you are ready to book your next vacation!

BookVIP - Canceled reservation without notification

I arrived at the Tahiti resort in Las Vegas to be told my reservation was cancelled. I was told I was traveling in a group and not eligible for the promotion.

I was not traveling in a group and not provided a refund. I was cheated and now enjoying the Hilton for 1/3 of the daily rate the resort was charging! I don't trust VIP Booking!

FYI they called me for the trip, I had no intentions to travel but the deals was great but not guaranteed! The photo is me at the Hilton!

BookVIP's reply to:

Eh...

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
It is unfortunate that you were not able to visit the Wisconsin Dells for your vacation.
We didn’t have availability for the promotion before because of COVID-19 restictions - however it has just re-opened.
It is the participating resort provider who is paying up to 80% of the retail price of the promotions on our website and it is the resort provider who sets forth the eligibility requirements.
As you were advised, although you were not eligible for any promotion currently being offered in that location, we offer many other vacation packages for which legally single people are eligible. Please feel free to call 888.849.8450 if you would like to book a vacation with us and a highly-trained representative will be happy to assist you.
Thank you.

The person I spoke with was kind. The offer does not apply to us however, and that was disappointing.

We had plans to go to Wisconsin Dells this year and saw an offer on Bookvip. Being either Married or cohabitating by their standards did not work for us. We are Married and do cohabitate. For our own reasons we keep our licenses as they are beings he owns property in another state and I keep mine for the property here.

We switch between houses. It works nicely for us. :) Our family benefits from 2 locations. We do not choose to include the government.

Marriage is not paper. We do not need the paper. It was unfortunate to hear we don't qualify.

:(

We were told to look at singles vacations however there were none for wisconsin dells. It's too bad.

Refund

Hello Kenya,

Please be reminded that, as per the Terms and Conditions which were reviewed with you verbally and you agreed to in writing when you booked, your vacation package is final and non-refundable.

When you cancelled your travel dates, you were given a store credit for the full amount you were charged and you have 24-months to use your store credit towards any package on BookVIP.com for which you are eligible.

Our amazingly affordable promotional packages are subsidized up to 80% off the retail rate by the participating resort provider.

As the booking company, we must ensure that the customers we send to the resort are eligible for the promotion.

That is why the Terms and Conditions are reviewed verbally with each customer during the sales call and the customer must agree to the Terms and Conditions with their electronic signature before the travel dates sent to the resort.

In addition, the Terms and Conditions governing these promotional packages are located on each and every resort offering page on BookVIP’s website.

Thank you.
Kind regards,

This company is a fraud in my honest opinion. The representatives are very misleading in regards to the terms and conditions and out right lie about their policies.

I am awaiting a refund from them yet to be received because I do not qualify for this package yet they wanted to give me a voucher which makes no sense if I don't qualify.

The cancellation representative was beyond rude and unhelpful. I strongly advise against booking with this company and they should consider new reps with more knowledge and training on how to treat customers who are trying to spend their hard earned money especially

User's recommendation: Just Don't.

I was so disappointed when I called in to pick my dates for my future travel to Omni Cancun Resort. I had booked this 6 weeks ago and paid the stay in full.

I was fully aware that we both had to go (married) and attend a 120 minute promotion to possibly buy into what they were offering for travelers. I answered all questions correctly except when they asked me our age and I informed them I was 60 and my husband was 71 they told me we didnt qualify and had to cancel our reservation.

Isnt this age discrimination? So disappointed.

User's recommendation: Ask all these questions in advance. Good thing I had not bought plane tickets.
