Big Promotions???????
« on: April 08, 2011, 12:13:58 PM »
Has anyone had anything to do with this mob, they are offering cheap holidays in Australia and overseas. I have read all the info on them and am now looking for any first hand reviews. :cheers: :cheers:

I noticed the stays in Australia are for three nights only. On the booking page they require an excessive amount of information. Since when has it been necessary for for a company to know if you`re in a de facto relationship or have
 a mortgage to book a three day holiday?

Righto here goes. DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR THE THEAVIN F'N A/HOLES WITH A 50' POLE.
They have $300 of mine and are too useless to book me a holiday, and now won't give me a refund and keep making dodgy excuses.
They have been taken to court by Office of Fair trading for false advertising and there is a forum getting around we found that has nothing but bad comments about them, same issues I am having.
We have prolly 15 emails from them and have made about 40 phone calls to try and either book a holiday or get a refund and neither has happened yet.
Some people say they have had great holidays from them but they must have been lucky, they are a bunch of dodgy pricks. You will most likely speak to Mandy when you ring, she is the only 1 there, our complaints never get through, she just laughs and even told my Mrs to ring Consumer Affairs, see if she cared. She knows our phone numbers from caller I'd and awnsers the phone with my wifes name as a hello, I can't talk on the phone >:D. Whenever we have asked to speak to a manager of supervisor she puts us on hold and cuts us off. They have promised to ring us but never have, that is why the 40+ calls are all from us, we even got an email saying we'd have our refund within 7 days, still nothing 2 weeks later.
Living 2000km's away is hard for me to go and rock up on their door step and start tearing the place to pieces until I got my money back.

If anybody lives nearby and can do it on my behalf i'll pay you. :cheers:
We have contacted "A Current Affair" but haven't had a reply, Consumer Affairs is as good as tits on a bull, and are basically telling us we have to offer "BP" about 300000 excuses and days to cough up first before anything can be done.
I'm no good at searching business names on the net but if someone could get me a directors name or something then I'll just lodge court paperwork at this end and sort them out. I tried to search but couldn't find anything with names.

So mate up to you if you want to part with your $$, but I wouldn't be. Have a look at their face book page, if they haven't tried to remove the 1 and only reply from us.

But if anybody can do some door knocking and scull cracking for me i'd be very grateful. :cup: :cup:

Thanks lads, gives me some more info now.
Yes it is trying to sell time share crap, you have to go to a 2 hour seminar and listen to how expensive it is to own time share and they then try and get you in on it, but as long as you are a strong willed person you just stick to you guns and tell thme you are only here for a cheap weekend away thanks but no thanks, you get a cheap weekend out of it, but not with these people.
That is why they want to know your income and marital status etc.
We did a weekend away with another mob a few yeas ago down the Gold Coast, we got the seminar over by 10am 1 day and had 3 days to enjoy ourselves in a 5 star resort for $200 I think it was.
Just this mob is useless.

As a timeshare owner these mongrels make me sick.

Mind you after working on the sales floor for 2 of the bigger players in Australia I had to laugh when the third refused to employ me as I knew too much about the product and I had a reputation for being too honest.

If anybody is after some of the industry secrets I'll gladly share them and if you're looking for a non camping holiday I do rent out what I own, and I have no interest in making money from friends.
