Trade Show Travel CompanyReviews of tradeshowtravelco.com

Several years ago I signed up for some trips. Back then you had to make a reservation for a trip and if you wanted an extra night you had to attend a meeting. If you no-showed for this meeting then you were hit with a heavy penalty. A few years back I started to get phone calls about how the trips I had spent a lot of money on were getting ready to expire and I needed to update for a fee to life-time. They were extremely pushy on the phone and called during the day. When I told them I wanted to think about it, it had to be done now. I told them it would still be several years before I could go, and they still didn't let me that would be a problem. The sale was more important then the customer. Also the paperwork doesn't come right away and looks identical to the original stuff, except with one important difference, you have to visit their home resorts with in a year! These resorts are in the middle of Florida and Las Vegas. That's great if you are near there. I have an autoimmune disease that was stable until 1 1/2 year ago. So as a result I had to retire and main source of income Social Security. I offered to sign a medical release so they could see for themselves and that it had progress. They have left repeated messages about payment $6999. The first three were supposedly to my Bank account and had gotten a code which my bank said never happened and the fourth to Mastercard starting with 5156. All Mastercard start with those numbers. A lie and scare tactic to instill fear and extortion which I find highly despicable. All these tour groups SHARE YOUR INFOMATION INCLUDING CREDIT CARD INFO! with every group. This as a result can go on indefinitely. You get calls from different directions so you don't know who or what you are talking to and add extra trips to up the penalty. It doesn't matter how bad your health has progress or limited your finances have become as a result. Forget Privacy and HIPPA with these guys. Cody who I was dealing with mention three major Time Share companies and you have heard of all of them. Also they stated the reason for the high penalties was they put time into inventory. I called Monster about what was going on and they were thoroughly appalled. They said this shouldn't be happening and gave me a week at one of their resorts. It was late April and the place was a ghost town, just down the way from Disney world and Universal whose parking lots were packed! Also they had to pay taxes on this. That's crap any decent Accountant can file an adjustment with the IRS. I have filed complaints with MyFloridaLegal.gov. Cody arrogantly told me they were every where. They maybe but their Home state is Florida. Florida really hates it when they target Seniors or military. The Company's address is 2708 N Australian Ave Ste 2. West Palm Beach Florida 33407-4529 ph.# 888-556-1485 also the Amounts and time period. email tradeshowandtravelco.com. Also beware of another one called Travel. close to $12,000 between 2024-2025

Last year I paid over $1200 US for, what I was told was, an all paid vacation package to a number of destinations. I keep getting calls from people that my data was sold to (about 5 a day) bothering me to take the vacation. I just got a threatening call from Juliano Morina who identified himself as a "supervisor" with Trade Show Travel. He said that I am going to be sued because I did not do a 90 minute time-share presentation. I was recently told that I did not have to do this presentation (but I said I was okay with it). Juliano now tells me that I have to pay an addition $2000 because I did not do the presentation within 90 days. I was not told this when I paid. I made it clear that we would not be vacationing for a while at the time when I paid. Juliano said it was in my contract. I told him that I did not even receive the contract. He said he didn't care. I checked the email account that he told it was sent to. There is no contract there. He said it would have "deleted itself" if I did not open it within 48 hours. The contract email clearly never arrived, probably was never sent. When I asked for a number to call him back, he refused. So, I will be sued for "paying money" to these people. Think twice before saying yes to them.

Called multiple times. Unable to reach any human. Messages say they will return my call, usually in the next business day- total BS. No calls back after 8 calls with me leaving my number. I call the original number who had contacted me- they say blow up The customer service phone. No confirmation email ever arrived - no follow up. Appears to be a scam !!!

They are very deceitful. If I could have gave them zero Stars I would have always trying to get money out of you. They never communicate by email only by phone wanting your credit card for more money

Deceitful, dishonest, manipulative are the words that come to heart when thinking about this company. I worked for them for 10 months and the boss refused to pay me my last paycheck, where it would have potentially cost me my place to live. On top of that, Richard Cardillo (one of the owners; (888) 226 - 6011), teaches all of his employees deceptive practices to customers and potential customers. He teaches his employees to lie to customers, saying that they had "bonus vacations" that never existed, saying they expired, and asking the potential customer if they forgot about them or if something like life or covid got in the way. Most people that his company targets has a lot of vacation time, with potentially multiple companies, so they easily forget, are confused and then end up buying a vacation package from anywhere from $698 - $1,496, in order to "extend their vacation time," because their vacation time "expired," when they had 18 months to use them. They promise no blackout dates, with a guarantee on all major holidays with a 90-day advanced notice and a 30-day advance notice "guarantees" their dates throughout the rest of the year. This isn't always true, because it depends on the location and the availability itself. They use vague language to hook potential customers in, saying, "you either attended a presentation," or "stayed at one of our resorts," in order to "remind them" about how all of this came about. The salespeople here are called closers, the people who the called gets "transferred" to, where they assure the potential customers that they're a preferred traveler and that they have credits on file. Then when the potential customers says something like, "I need to talk with my spouse first" or "I can't afford it," the sales people / closers either (1) Add more vacations and/or (2) Lower the price, in order to get them to buy. They promise that it's always going to be a Condo, never a hotel. They're powered through Monster and if you look, there are definitely destinations, that are less then 4-stars, in a hotel!! All-in-all, I learned that after working for this company for 10 months, that this place is crooked, full of people that are desperate to do whatever it takes to take money from people.

What a scam. They told me the fees I paid were for the resort fees, but when we checked out, we were charged the resort fees again. I contacted them and they gave me excuses instead of fixing the issue. I also tried to make changes to the 13 rooms we booked, and they said they couldn’t modify the reservation. The hotel told me we had to go through the travel agency, and the agency refused to help. Do NOT book through them.

Has anyone actually taken a trip? Everybody talks about customer service but is anybody taking a trip anywhere? Keep calling me and asking me for more money and when you say no they say well you know hold on we have some leeway and they lower the cost and they won't let you hang up, I'm not giving them any more money.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to write reviews with the truth about this company. I just hung up with them and didn’t give them a dime thanks to trustpilot reviews!!!! Saved my 700$ today!!! Whew that was close!!!! I was suspicious the whole time but they almost had me!!!
