Would give MINUS rating if I could
Would give MINUS rating if I could. Booked in 2019 through RCI what would have been a wonderful trip with Collette through Europe for 2020. Trip postponed to late 2022 due to Covid. Checked 9 months prior to departure date for policy regarding cancellation without incurring a penalty, as I was monitoring the requirements concerning Covid and travel. RCI rep said I could cancel up to 30 days prior to departure to cancel if needed. (I also had travel insurance with Generalli Insurance.) Thought it sounded it too close to departure date; rep was supposed to verify with Collette and call me back. Didn't hear back from RCI. Forward to 4 months before date, I called RCI back, and found that I had just missed the date by ~7 days in which I could cancel without a penalty. The penalty was now a 75% loss. ($7500). At this time RCI states they had sent me an email earlier to give the cancellation date. Sending an email is NOT fulfilling your requirement to get back to the customer when previous communication was by phone. At that time period, I was not able to monitor my email account and had nearly 98K emails. NONE of the parties involved, (RCI, COLLETTE, GENERALLI INSURANCE) took any responsibility for the situation. Each pointed the finger at a different entity. Because of incorrect information, and RCI's failure to correctly communicate with me the customer, I lost $7500; also paid over $1100 for travel insurance which was a waste as well. It also took over 6 months and several phone calls to recoup the $1400 and change which is all RCI would refund me of my over $9200 trip. I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER deal with RCI again.
