I called this number after receiving an offer of free airline tickets and was told it is associated with "Tranquility Travel Club". They were all out of the free tickets!

I received a birthday letter offering free stuff and looked it up and found these comments.  Thanks for the heads up!!!  It read like a scam and the address that was on my letter for them is 11626 Prosperous Drive Odessa Fl. 33556

Its a Travel Club Scam.  Just got another "Congratulations " in the mail today. Listed below is what happened to us last year. We're still trying to get our money back!! This what is sent to the Alabama Attorney General.

Complaint Description:

Cancellation of Travel Club Contract. High pressure sales tactics to mislead us abut travel club services. False advertisement.

ON 14 Aug 2009 my wife and I attend an presention in Gulf Shores, Al. We were offered a free vacation to attend.(Received this in the mail). We didn't do any research before we went because we were NOT going to sign up/buy and anything. The presentation (Destinations Unlimited) was for a Travel Club (SeaLand Travel) We ended up joining the club for $8593 paying by credit card. When we got home we found of that Destinations Unlimited and Sealand Travel had many complaints and law suites against them. BB rated F for Destinations Unlimited and D for SeaLand Travel. I also found out we overpaid for the service by about 8000 dollars. I called my credit company that night (14 Aug 2009)to cancel. They said I could not cancel, it was already posted. I e-mail the companies and told them I wanted to cancel. I called the companies and left messages that I wanted to cancel. On Saturday I sent the companies letters by certified mail, stating we wanted to cancel. I received an e-mail from Sealand travel say they had nothing to do with the contract, contact Destinations Unlimited.  On Saturday I talked with a D.U. customer service rep.(In Colorado) he said I could not cancel because its in the contract. On Monday I received one to the letters back stating that the company had moved and the certified letter could not be delivered.(Web address in Colorado) I received the post office post card from Sealand travel that they received the cancellation letter. I haven't received the card from Destinations Unlimited in Gulf Shores.

We feel that Destinations Unlimited used high-pressure sales tactics to mislead us about the travel services.

The airline tickets , hotel accommodations, gasoline and $300 grocery coupons we were offered to attend a presentation were not free. We would have to pay $100 plus taxes and other fees. We found that the travel restrictions were so onerous that the trips are virtually impossible to schedule.

We were promised travel value for pennies on the dollar and at the lowest prices for travel however, after doing a little research we found out that other customers discovered that they could have booked the same trips for approximately the same prices. The Club promises of significant discounts on cruises, air travel, hotels and condominiums proved no better than competing travel companies' deals. We still do not have our Membership #

They have used various names Royal Palm Travel, Bon Voyage, Suncountry, Horizon, Beachcomber, Castaway , Infinite Vacations according to my research.

Missouri Attorney Generals web site has listed 12 complaints against Destinations Unlimited and 2 against SeaLand Travel.

Texas Attorney General has charged Infiniti Vacations for Deceptive Trade Practices

I just got a flyer in the mail with this number saying I won a Touchpad and gift cards from Expedia and Target.  Funny that there is no return address or company name anywhere on the literature.  

Old rule of thumb...if it sounds to good to be true, it isn't.

mine was for carnival cruise & roundtrip airfare, made appointment with intentions of sleeping thru 90 min bull session and giving a firm no. will see what happens. am also gonna call carnival to see if they are backing it.

I got and did the same thing.  Is this a valid offer?  Thanks in advance.

one amendment to the prior post.  for me, the number = 1-877-830-3528

We received a flyer in the mail which had this number to call for my free 8 day 7 night cruise....
Call now and get bonus free airfare.
It had the Carnival logo on it and a phoney tracking number.
Beware of this scam.
I called and asked for my past guest # from Carnival to verify it was in fact Carnival...
and got hung up on.....

you mean if i sounds too good to be true, it is

This scam is still going on. Got a birthday mailing today (U.S. postal) offering 2 round-trip airfares + an 8-day/7 night cruise.  No thanks to an obvious scam.  Folks, make up your mind there are scam artists all over the world using every means of communications to steal your money.

Pure scam do not bother replying...They offered me a cruise for my birthday..To good to be true! Stay away..

Did you ever go? I just rec'd the card today for the free cruise and also thought about going and just not signing up for anything.

Received a post card from this number with a free cruise offer (Carnival) and $1000 free offer. The card has many well-known companies' log: Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Meijer and CVS ... Asked to call the 877 number. Too good to be true.

I got a post card with 1-877-547-7302  phone number on it and the free offer wording has scam written all over it! The card went straight to the garbage can!

Thanks for all the posts. Rec'd the postcard with "free 8 day/7 night cruise".
This lists Priceline and Carnival as "partner network". This phone number was on the card with no other contact info.

1-877-547-7302 is a scam !!!!!!

Yep, just got a postcard that has ALL of the following companies logos on it:

WalMart
Target
Carnival
Priceline

All on the same postcard!!  Beware!!!!!  Obviously a scam!!!

Thank you for saving me 90 minutes of nonsense, gas and driving time to find out it is a scam.  I love it that people like you are here to put the frauds out there for people like me!  Warmest Regards, Emily  : )  PS They are evil devils.

I received a charge  on my bank accout from this number
