Scam-needs someone to prosecute
We foolishly joined the JETSETTERS WORLDWIDE travel club a few months ago. At the time we also purchased an upgraded Hawaii vacation and 6 days at a Marriott hotel. Problem arose when we tried to schedule them. We had an assigned agent (Scott) but his phone was busy, mailbox full, voice messages rarely returned. Occasionally he would return a call and promise to make our reservation. He never did. His number was then disconnected and we were assigned a second agent (Randal). Pretty much identical results. Now his number is no longer in service. We had hoped to use the Marriott during our summer travels, but with considerable effort we only received one discounted night in Kansas. That is the only benefit we have received from JETSETTERS WORLDWIDE. Never got the Hawaii vacation nor the remaining Marriott stays. We did purchase an airline ticket through them. The flight was cancelled and the airline had to refund the money directly back to JETSETTERS. In spite of persistent efforts over several months they have still failed to return our refund. For approximately $2800 our total benefit has been the one discounted night in Kansas AND NOTHING MORE. We sent them a registered letter requesting assistance, nearly five months have passed with no response. Filed complaints through the BBB and government Consumers Affairs departments in New York and Texas. They blew them off as well with no response. We noted that on all JETSETTERS WORLDWIDE documents and contracts each of the different agents only signed their first name. FYI we found that you can usually find equal or better pricing for FREE using sights such as Trip Advisor or Travelgo, and their customer service is far superior. During their initial presentation they strongly implied that they had high rating with the BBB and favorable reviews. In reality the BBB rates them as a F, and we found it hard to find many recent favorable reviews, with lots of highly unfavorable reviews (in line with our experience). As far as we are concerned they are ripping off the public by charging a high price for similar services that you can receive for FREE, and then failing (refusing) to arrange the benefits paid for.
