I think Trave Alliance is filling this with fake reviews. I have had the same experience as the other 1 star reviewers. 1. First, the transaction was blocked by my credit card: At first the purchase to them was turned down by my credit card company several times. I called the credit card to see if there was a problem and they said that they’ve blocked any transactions to Trave Alliance bc of the number of fraudulent claims made against them. 2. Then, Trave Alliance changed their vendor code to force a payment through: So, a few hours after talking to my credit card company and moving on to looking elsewhere for tickets, I noticed that my card had a transaction go through anyways. I called Trave Alliance and they said that they changed the vendor code in order to make the transaction go through. *facepalm. Well, now I’m in it, so I figure, let’s give them a shot to give me a ticket. 3. Then, no ticket was issued: At first, no ticket is issued. I call back and I inquire about the ticket and they say, “it’ll take such and such time to process.” I call back a while later and they then produced a confirmation number for me. Okay, great! At this point the reservation code showed up in the airline’s application. 4. Then, the reservation provided wasn’t paid for: So, when I reached out to the airline about the flight, they confirmed a reservation but that the ticket hadn’t been paid. I called Trave Alliance back and he said “oh, it takes time. Let me try to get it worked out.” More calls back and forth and eventually I am given two ticket numbers for me and my wife. And, these tickets are showing up in the airlines app. 5. Then, the tickets were paid for, but were immediately canceled and refunded to the agency: So, I go back to the airline and ask about those tickets and they said “those tickets were made but were immediately canceled and refunded due to the credit card used.” 6. Trave Alliance that they will use a different method of payment, but no payment made yet: More back and forth and now Trave Alliance has told me “they will use a different method of payment to the airline to get it to go through.” They said that last night and as of this morning the airline has told me no payment has come through. 7. Playing hard to get now: Right now, I’m now waiting for Trave Alliance to open their business hours to ask them to put payment through. On their website they say 24/7 and over the phone yesterday I was told they are open 24/7, but elsewhere I have seen 9am EST to 7pm EST. Well, it’s 10:15am EST and when I call from my phone I get sent to a voicemail that says “It’s not business hours, but leave a message…” and then it hangs up immediately with no time for a message. I will try my wife’s phone next lol. In other news, the airline has told me that the agency could cancel and get the tickets refunded at a later date if they wanted to, so I image that is the next tactic! Just book the flight for us for real and then cancel it last minute leaving us stranded, while pocketing the money we paid them. Oh, one other detail is Trave Alliance upcharged me $70 for adding a carry on to both our tickets. Well, I checked with this particular airline and they have zero ticket offerings that don’t include a carry on. On one of my calls with Trave Alliance I brought this up. At first, the agent deflected. But then, he said “oh, I see, I will get that refund processed for you.” Still haven’t seen that refund come through. I would stay away. The amount of time lost is way more than the cost of the discount on these tickets. --- --- Final Update: After this post had gone live, Travealliance started to attempt to contact me again. I had gone back to my credit card company already and described the situation, which they said was fraud. They canceled my card and sent me a new one; they removed the charge; and, they added the new vendor code to the list of codes they block. After this though, Travealliance posted this response and they did attempt to contact me and did in fact send a refund. HOWEVER, all of this was after HOURS of time spent on the phone with them and eventually having my phone number even be blocked by them. If you are having a similar experience, please just talk to your credit card company. If you are lucky to enough to have not tried doing business with them yet, then DO NOT.
