We Tour America reviews and complaints

They pulled the same thing w me minutes ago. I Googled them as soon as they called, saw these complaints. When I asked him about them, the guy on the phone just kept dodging the questions and pressing to get my CC info. When I finally told him I needed to see the package details and all the legalese first he played the "I don't have the authorization to do that" card. -- HA, of course you don't... No sale buddy, scam someone else.

Hahah...I just got one of these calls yesterday. We attended the piccadilly circus and entered into a drawling about 2wks ago. A winner was picked at the circus so when he called me I was confused. He said you checked off married we pick one person from each criteria where you live, your marital status and occupation. Is you husband there we can call him he says. So I said sure call him on three way. The man said are you sitting down(to my husband) you and your wife just won a trip to disney. I still was not getting excited I actually thought my husband was phone tapping me on radio or something it seemed so bizarre. And the man said its 4days 3night 2 adults 2children free. I say well i have 3kids my baby is 1 he said well she gets in free anyway to disney and hotel. He says you checked off mastercard when you entered is that what you will be using for the $498? I say for what you don't pay for things if they're free he said its a tax you pay like when oprah gave away those cars people had to pay taxes on them or like when you win the lottery. I said yes you claim it on your taxes at the end of year I am actually somewhat familiar with tax laws. I asked how many others he called like this today he told me I was only one. I said well this seems a bit sketchy bc I caught 3 errors in our conversation 1) you said my 2kids were free but latter on you said you could get them discounted tickets so which is it? 2) You said we have to use the trip within 18months and then you said it never expires I can wait to go to disney until my baby is 3 so quick math says that doesn't make sense. 3) You claimed this free trip estimated $4000 but actually that commercial on tv for disney says less than $2000 for family of 4. When Im done paying for flight, food and rental on top of you $500 well I didn't save anything..
My poor hubby seemed so excited I'll have to take him somewhere special this family vacation. Good luck if anyone gets sucked in bc the man seemed like such a sweet older gentleman and my husband said himself if he wouldn't have ended the conversation he would have paid it bc it seemed real. What type of person would scam a family when you can hear a baby in background.

Wow! I went through the exact same thing today. Guy called my cell phone from a 805 number and I picked up. On the other end this guy was talking to me as if he had known me for years. He told me he drew my name out of a hat. I didnt remember where I signed up for the drawing so I questioned him . He told me the name of a local bar I visit quite frequently. So I continued to allow him to tell me what I won. He was good at what he did, he could have sold a rock to me. He then got his manager on the phone and his manager told me he would do it for 298 bucks. Yeah right I told him! I hung up...he called back I acted as if the phone got disconnected and he told me I had to give the money now. I told them I could not make that decision without my wife's opinion. He told me to call her while I waited... WOW... I called my wife ...she told me to google them... I did and thank GOD I did

Went through the same thing today...I wouldn't give my credit card number either. They were rude and asked me if I had ever bought anything online before...I said yes, airline tickets through Continental Airlines because I knew who I was dealing with and also I knew what I was getting when I purchased it. Told them if I couldn't see what I was getting in writing I would not ever consider giving a credit card to them, if I had to the conversation was over...put the high pressusre guy then on the line with me and he was even ruder so I told him the conversation was over. I feel sorry that there are people that fall into those traps and so many times they don't get anything at all or they don't get what they expect. Government controls everthing else too bad they can't control the scams that are out there.

did you get your money back

I just went through the same thing today. My friend and I had gone to a local event called Party In The Park and we filled in various forms around the park to win things. I received the same type of call and the caller couldn't understand why I wasn't really showing any great excitement. I had a feeling a few minutes into the conversation where it was headed and than he hit me with the cost of $498 and I still listened because I thought he was going to send me the complete information when he made sure all my information was correct and than I could decided when and if I really wanted to take this trip. He than asked me for my credit card number and when I told him I didn't give my credit card number to anyone over the phone, he became very rude and asked me if I had ever bought anything over the phone or the internet. I said yes, I bought airline tickets but I also knew I was talking to Continental Airlines when I gave my credit card number or purchased tickets on the internet. I said I would only consider giving my credit card number when I was ready to purchase and only after I saw in writing what they were really offering us. He said he would see if he could do it that way, soon, another young man came on the phone and proceeded to high pressure me, I said I would not give my credit card number to them until I saw what I was purchasing and if that was not possible the conversation would be over. He told me the form I filled out said a credit card was required and I replied, "It didn't say it was required before you saw what you were getting and I am going to end this conversation right now because I am not going to argue with you. I than hung up.

We just received a call from We Tour America on a Sunday evening saying that I had won a free trip to Disney and that I should be doing cartwheels. I had to get my husband on the phone and they explained that I was the just picked computer winner from the 10, 000 entries at the North American Livestock Expo in Louisville, KY. Told us we won free 4 day 3 nights at Hiton or Marriot at Disney and then another 4 day and 3 nights in Orlando and that we could then chose from a list of 20 other locations for another trip. Was floored that I was not excited. Said I was the only one who had not screamed in his ear. Asked for my kids names and ages and then my credit card number. I asked why I needed to give a credit card number for a free trip and he was immediately defensive. No one had ever questioned him. They were bonded in FLorida and the Expo we had attended only allowed legitamite businesses and had already checked them out. Gave me their licensing number and We tour America number to call only after I would give the credit card number. We said we were not comfortable with that and he again was just floored we would question him as it was only $249 for each adult and free for our 2 children. Wait? I thought this was a free trip? We could barely get the words sorry we are not interested it just doesn't feel right out before he hung up on us. Went to the internet and read other complaints and am so glad I did not give out any information. Beware. I know we would have been scammed now.

I also had a horrible experience cancelling this "vacation package." During my cancellation process I encountered rude, snippy, down right disrespectful customer service reps, lies, trickery and many headaches. These people will do anything to turn things around on you and make their company "credible and legit." I still have no idea what the actual name of the company is because I was told everything ranging from Tour America, Inc. to We To America to Touring America. This should have been the only red flag I needed from the start, but who doesn't want a super cheap vacation. Anyway, the cancellation process was dreadfully painful. It took multiple arguments with customer service and "legal" departments until I finally got them to approve my cancellation request. I now have to wait 30-45 days for a refund which I know first hand is ludicrous, but not worth the argument and this point.

Also, be aware of what you say and what they say to you. After this whole thing was said and done I noticed that the only person who gave me a name was the guy who sold me the package. No one gave me a first name or anything when answering the phone. Also, these people are very good and carefully omitting certain things from recordings so that they are easier to work in their favor. These people are smart and have been conning people for years. I do not think their vacations are scam, but I would never consider them credible.

I would VERY STRONGLY suggest any person that is contacted by this company steer clear! Do not answer their calls, do not purchase any package, do not even give them the time of day. They will turn everything around on you and stick you with a ### vacation deal on your own dime! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR ENERGY IT WILL ONLY CAUSE YOU FRUSTRATION AND A DENT IN YOUR WALLET.

i just won one of these from a raffle and they want to be paid 398.00 is it a scam or is it real i already paid 200 please let me know asap

well i just won one of these vacations to they want $398 and id have to pay for just like air fare should i even bother to trust this we tour america or is it a scam please let me know asap i already paid 200

I just find if quite weird that your voice can be used as verbal contract, but when you call to cancel, its needs to be in writing. My girlfriend contacted them on 11/22/10 to cancel, the rep told her she couldn't cancel, and referred her to the "legal department", which would call her back by 4 PM that day. A regular supervisor not from the legal department called her back after 4 and left a message requesting when she wants to use her package. The following day which was yesterday 11/23/10, my girlfriend called again, the rep told her that her requested needed to be in writing, but it was too late eventhough we signed up on 10/27/10, which is in the 30 day window. The Rep told us even if we overnighted the cancellation request, that it wouldn't work since it would surely be processed after the 30 days were up. Rep also claimed we couldn't fax the cancellation request in either. So we sent it overnight last night with signature confirmation, guaranteed to be delivered by noon today (11/24/10). It shouldn't be this hard to cancel something within the alloted time period. Also in Florida Statutes 559.933 Vacation certificate cancellation and refund provisions. There is no stating in there that it needs to be in writing. I'm just quite confused why they can't use your voice to cancel it, if they can use your voice to hold you to the contract. Aren't both calls recorded or just the ones they want to use against someone. The Better Business Bureau has processed a total of 31 complaints about Tour America.com, Inc. in the last 36 months. Of the total of 31 complaints closed in 36 months, 12 were closed in the last year.

For the most part, these complaints are from persons, who made their Buying Decision based on emotion, instead of Logic. Then, the next day these people experience "Buyer's Remorse", or realize they can not afford it, so they make up a bunch of alleged misrepresentations by Tour America Representatives. It is like the Lady, who buys a dress at a store, because it looks good at the Store, but she realizes when she gets it home that she does not like it as much as she thought, so INSTEAD of just taking it back to the store, she tears a little hole under the arm, and says it is defective.

The Digitally Recorded Verification, as well as the actual Travel Confirmation Documents plainly state, " This is NOT a Contest, Lottery or Free Offer ", and that by FL State law you have 30 days to cancel your purchase by submitting said request in writing to Tour America. On one hand the Consumer gives their credit card for the $498 purchase price, and agrees to the statement that this Offer is NOT a Contest, Lottery or Free offer, and then on the other hand (Buyers Remorse) they try to say they thought they had won the package (put a hole under the arm of the "Dress"). It is truly incredible to watch Human Nature in action, and see how weak some People truly are, as they refuse to be Responsible for their Actions & Decisions.

Just read the many many many Testimonials from those who had the smarts to enjoy the purchase they made from Tour America (www.wetouramerica.com), and you will soon realize you can NOT find a Vacation of this QUALITY at such a reasonable price. And remember, the ORIGINALS of these Testimonials are on file with the Florida Dept of Consumer Affairs, so you can VERIFY each of them are for REAL !

Tour America NEVER contacts a potential Customer unless that Person attended a Major Show or Event in their area (Home, Boat, Auto, Fair, etc), and personally filled out a Registration Form in their OWN hand writing for a Florida Getaway. Tour America cherishes each of It's Customers, and has found that 90% of those who complain are almost ALWAYS young, financially UNstable Persons, who made a decision based soley on emotion, and then soon realize they can't afford the purchase they made, and instead of handling it in a mature manner, they tend to resort to false allegations, etc, which they feel is the way they can get their money back, when all they have to do is send a written request of cancellation within 30 days of their Purchase ? Again, it is kind of like that young gal, who purchases a dress that she thinks looks great on her while at the store, but soon realizes it doesn't look so well in the light at home, and also suffers from the realization that she really can't afford it to begin with, so she tears a little hole in it, as she feels this is the only way to get her money back.

Simply put, Tour America is more interested in dealing with the mature Customer, who really can appreciate the Value they are receiving, and make their decisions based on logic & affordability. They are also educated enough to know that they are 100% protected by their credit card against any & all fraudulant charges. Hence, they realize this is actually the safest, most convenient method of purchasing. Not to mention, ALL Hoteliers REQUIRE a major credit card for Check In...Looking forward to Hosting you all in the Sunshine State.

We had a great trip. The reservation Process went very well. The rooms were
very nice. The first tour, however, was okay. The tour itself was very good along
with the lady that was giving us the tour. When we got to the tour site, they picked
us up in a golf cart and drove us to the tour. We did not purchase, we had to walk
back to our car. Which would have been such a big deal if it hadn't been a 100
degrees, and walking with a 2 and 4 year old. The second tour had a lot more to
offer. It was different then a timeshare program. The gentleman at this program
was very laid back and understanding of the girls, which was really nice. Although
we refused this one also, they were a lot nicer group of people. All in all we had a
blast. Our girls loved Disney World and the beach. Thanks so much for the trip.

Hi Lisa, We just returned from our Florida vacation. We had great weather and lots
of good memories. The places were nice and st. Augustine was beautiful ( thanks
for recommending it). Thank you again for your help making our trip a success. My
mom, son, husband and I all thank you. The only down side was we came home
to 25 degree weather and about 2 inches of fresh fallen snow from today.

Many blessings Kim from New York.

I entered a raffle at a beer festival like the other person on here and was told I won a free FL vacation so naturally I was very excited. But then I was told it's actually not free but I'd have to pay this $398 fee, which they explained was due to the fact that they couldn't just give it for free or there would be luxury taxes so it works out about the same anyway. That sounded reasonable enough but I wanted time to think about it and read the details. However, they were very pushy on the phone and wouldn't let me think about it and decide later (or I would lose the offer). In the offer details, they told me I could take up to 3 friends with me, that I would have 18 months to book and could go to 2 locations in FL plus 2 bonus locations at other places (with upto 3 friends each time), and all I had to pay was this $398 plus any hotel taxes and air fare. It sounded like a great deal and I used to live in FL and was hoping for a trip back there, so I thought this could be great, so I went for it even though I had some serious reservations, but they were just so pushy on the phone and managed to convince me using their pressure tactics making me feel like I was an idiot not to. They did explain I would have to do an hour long tour of a timeshare for the first day on the trips and that's how it was so cheap since that was part of how they got their funding, but it still sounded reasonable enough. Well in this year I was in transition having just moved to Pittsburgh and with a new job and didn't know if I could take a trip in that year, but they had told me no problem that I could extend it upto 18 months simply by calling when it got closer to the end. But after a year I got a phone call that my trip had expired and that I would have to pay money to get it extended, even though they had told me before all I had to do was call and ask to get it extended. There was never anything about a charge. Plus I was supposed to get 18 mo not 12 mo. The first person was extremely rude to me when I indicated surprise at this fee and hung up on me very rudely after indicating what an idiot I was for not thinking this offer was so amazing and extending it, or thinking that I could've extended it for free. Then someone else called a month later and was nicer at first but once it was clear I wasn't paying anymore money he got nasty too. I finally asked just out of curiosity how much the fee was to extend it and he said another $398?! I was like I have to pay the same amount I already paid to extend it? And he said actually the package you purchased was for a "couple" not an individual, and you would've had to pay that other $398 eventually anyway once you booked the trip (and would this be $398 for each trip it was sounding like but I didn't clarify since I was so upset at this point). That this way you just have to pay it up front so it's the same price in the end. Again I said what are you talking about, I purchased this as a single package where I was told I could bring 3 friends all for this one price (since we had to pay our own transportation and would be sharing the same room). I was NEVER told I had to bring another person (vs traveling solo if I wanted to) who would also pay another $398 or I would've never signed up for this. That is not even a good deal anymore since it didn't even include transportation and we were going to share the same room. Then he got really nasty and asked how old I was and when I responded he said, "so you are 32 years old and you actually believed you could get all this for $398? How stupid are you?" I said I was told I had won a vacation at a raffle and that this was ridiculous how shady they were being. Then he angrily hung up on me. This company is awful and stealing from people. I think they should be shut down. I would like my money returned to me as it is clear I will never be using this trip (they said I forfeited the money now since I didn't book in the first 12mo).

I registered for the free trip at the gay pride this year. One because the girl kept stopping us and hounding us every time we walked by, two because alcohol was involved. When I received the phone call that I had won the trip from the president of the company, John Humell, he told me it was first come first serve. I told him I didn't have that kind of money to purchase the package. He then said I could make two payments of 149 and some change, I agreed and gave my card information. I contacted my job right after, asking about my vacation pay. They informed me that it would not acquire till the end of my first year there. I've only been at my job for 3 months, I only have 18 months to use up all four trips, and we need 60 days prior to inform wetouramerica. I realized that same day I would not be able to take the trips. I called the customer service line within 2 hours of my purchase requesting for a refund. The only person who could help me was out for the day.( of course). I called back 3 times the next day and left a voicemail each time. No one got back to me in days. Finally I got the money back into my account in 7 days( 7 days too long). I received a phone call the next day from their customer service. She informed me they did cancel everything out. I brought up that I was scheduled to have another payment taken out 9/19/2013. I asked her to make sure it wasn't taken out. She said I won't be because all my information will be cancelled out. 2 weeks later 9/19/2013 149 was taken out from we tour America over drafting my account. I called them and left a voice mail. The money went back into my account 2 days later. I tried calling to make sure that my information actually be cancelled. No one got back to me. Not even 3 days later 9/24/2013, another 149 was taken out of my account over drafting my account once again. I got paid today 9/25/2013. So that overdraft of the 149 plus the 2 charges within a week of 30 dollars per overdraft took $209 dollars out of my hard earned pay check. It doesn't seem like a whole lot for the people who have money but I don't have a whole lot. I work hard and just purchased and new car. I need this money for payments. Payments I am probably going to be behind on because of their "mistakes". They said they will refund the money today and sorry for that.? How about throwing in the extra $60 I got charged for your "mistake"? I do not believe this company is a scam. I'm sure you give out great trips. To John Humell, it's not us being angry for buyers remorse as you so nicely put it, it's your customer service screwing over the people who simply want a refund. You are again going to lose yet another travel company due to the fact your company just can't get it right. Customer service should be your number one first priority in a "customer service, retail business". This is how you get bad reviews and this is why many people read them, and change their minds. I now have to cancel another credit card and contact my bank. I will not risk my hard earned money, on the comforting word of your staff again( very sarcastically said).

These guys are a scam. They called me after attending a seafood festival in SC...my wife signed me up. Anyway the guy told me I won 4, 3 night trips that could be used anytime in the next 5 years. He mentioned Orlando/Disney but said we could chose from over 30 properties. After agreeing to the purchase they send the documents and the offer was completely different than what was represented on the phone. Based on the paperwork it appeared it was required to go to Orlando and after that trip there were some bonus trips available. Also in the paperwork it stated the trip expired in 18 months and had the 22 locations to chose from. I wasn't comfortable with everything when I agreed but after reviewing he documents it confirmed that I was scammed and the salesperson lied and made many misrepresentations. I immediately called We Tour America and they said the only way to cancel was to print everything out and send it back with "cancel" along with a letter stating why. Of course, the sales guy had told me that I could cancel at anytime but "the only people that ever cancel are folks that run into medical issues", he conveniently left out that they would make it as difficult as possible. I'm curious to see if they accept my letter and refund my money or if this is going to be the beginning of a battle. Based on my experience and others that have posted the company seems to have a culture of telling the "winners" of the drawing anything they can to get the "fee paid so the IRS doesn't tax the winner on the full amount".

I spoke with Tour America yesterday about a vacation that I "won" out of 2500 people that entered. Turns out what I won was actually an "exclusive opportunity to purchase a discounted vacation"--7 days in FL for $498. I spoke with Brian Egan for about 20 minutes, where he explained all about the trip and the fact that I would have to attend a 90-minute presentation about vacation ownership (sounds like a timeshare to me) at each destination. He then went straight to gathering my credit card information. When I finally was able to slow him down, he explained that this "opportunity" was only available right now. "If you went to a car dealership and you won a free Lamborghini, they wouldn't hold it there for free!" was his reply.

Brian then directed me to wetouramerica.com, which my Norton security did not recognize as a legitimate website. He got me to look at all of their documentation that "proves" they are a legit company. He went on and on about an approval code from MasterCard, which would allow me to get a refund if I am not satisfied with the trip information within the first 30 days.

Like a fool, I handed over my credit card information--thinking I would look over the info and most likely get a refund within the 30 days. I was then transferred from Brain Egan to the legal department, where they recorded some other guy reading me all of the fine print. This new guy re-explained the trip to me and the fact that this was not a free trip, but a highly discounted offer. He then wanted my approval to use my MasterCard to reserve the trip, and I asked (to confirm) about the 30 day refund guarantee. The reply I got was something along the lines of:

"TA-GVG does not sell this Vacation Package on a review or cancellation basis. We stand behind our product with a 30-day product guarantee, which guarantees you will receive every thing as stated."

At this point, I decided that it really wasn't worth the risk and asked that my purchase please be cancelled. The legal department handed me back to Brian, who spend another few minutes trying to convince me not to cancel. Once I made it clear that I wasn't taking anymore from him, he rudely responded "Fine, you're cancelled; bye" and hung up instantly.

The whole time I was on the phone, there was a lot of background noise. Most likely it was a large room of people making similar calls to people all over the country. Tour America was a very sketchy company to me--fast talking and very good at skimming over the catch. I am waiting to make sure my credit card charge doesn't go through (it's pending right now) and intend to call my bank if the charge isn't cancelled/refunded within the next week or so.

PS. I find it hilarious that the "president" of this company has an AOL e-mail address. johnhummell@aol.com (see 330 days ago by WTA Rep )

We Tour America is a huge scam! Look out people! They will force you to buy this package that doesn't even make up for it. I got lucky, I bought the package that night and never recieved an email like they said they would and actully turned my credit card off and notified my bank the next morning! I'm doing lots of investgation on this so I can stop while I can. Just hang up when they call!

OK so I just got off the phone with this company. I politely declined the offer. Now that I read the reviews im glad I did. I feel like a company that has been in business "over 8 years with thousands of satisfied customers" "the good ole word of mouth marketing " I would have hurd about how great they are by now!...but not one person I know, knows... hum? The word of mouth just can't beat the internet. Thanks everyone for your helpful info;)----- kay

HANG UP if you get a call! I was contacted today after attending a Home show last Saturday. The guy called, asked if I was sitting down and said my name was drawn from the entry at the Home show. That I had won out of 600 people. He told me to grab a pen and paper to write down all the details. I had won a package for 2 for a 4 day 3 night trip to Florida staying at the Marriott right by Disney. It included passes to the parks. Then a Caribbean cruise for 4 days and 3 nights with all meals paid. Next I would receive 4 days and 3 nights to Daytona or Florida. I was responsible for a promotional fee of $249 per person due immediately. I had 18 months to take the vacations. I was told all I had to do was pay the $500 and attend a timeshare meeting. He told me I would be put on with an operator and to ask all my questions now because the operator won’t be able to. So I ask what the name was again and when they were expecting payment. He said right now and I will receive a conformation email with all my tickets and so forth. That it would be coming right away. I told him I wanted time to think it over before I made a decision. He asked what was my concern repeatedly? I told him I wanted to check to make sure they are legitimate. He assured me they were and that the Home Show requests for them to come and know the great deals they offered. I told him I wanted a number to contact and he told me there is no number that I had to make a decision now. He kept his cool but kept pressuring me to make a decision and telling me that they give these away for marketing purposes not for my $500. Any company that won’t allow you time to make decisions by giving a phone number to call back, expects your credit card information, expects payment for a free trip or is pressuring you HANG UP. I went online while we were talking and this site as well as others popped up that this was a scam. If you receive a phone call HANG UP and DO NOT give out your credit card information. I know it is hard because you filled out the drawing slip but it is a scam. I called my bank to alert them of the phone call I received and they were aware of the scam.

I filled out a registration form months ago at a boat show... Started getting the telemarketing calls once a night...wasnt interested...called the number posted here and told them that they can keep their vacation package and remove my name from their call list. Haven't had a call since.

We Tour America remains unwaveringly committed to providing an unforgettable vacation experience at a fraction of the standard cost. In the past months, we at We Tour America have taken steps to explain our business practices so that you, the consumer, has a better understanding of how this service works. This has been in response to the consumer skepticism and complaints that we've encountered on a small number of internet forums.

Now, We Tour America would like to take yet another step in resolving said complaints - We'd like for you to tell us about them. If a telemarketing agent was rude to you, if you feel that our services weren't explained clearly, or even if you'd like for a person to answer the questions that we've answered on this very blog rather than trusting the text published here, please contact us:

Give us a detailed account of the instance in question: name, date, and location of the event at which the registration form was filled out and entered, name of the telemarketer as well as the approximate date and time of the call in question (if possible), along with any other details that you deem relevant. A complaint will be filed and an investigation will be conducted in order to prevent future occurrences. In some cases, the complainant may be compensated for their inconvenience.

Customer service and satisfaction are taken very seriously at We Tour America - Allow us to prove it to you.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
