Ricky

You just went to Egypt for 1 day then? Seems a bit extravagant to me

Hotel room was marvelous..

How can a hotel room be marvelous. All it has is a bathroom, beds and somewhere to hang/store your clothes so it can only be good or bad. I usually go on S/C holidays and here there can be outstanding, or so I'm told because I'm still waiting, good, adequate, poor or somewhere I wouldn't send my mother-in-law

and the seving was good

you make that sound like a day at Wimbledon. :roll:

I should point out that the two positive posts about this company were from the same place - coincidence?

Normally I steer clear of posting negative comments about anyone or any company. However I feel I must share my experience to help others avoid the mistakes I have made.

Normally I avoid signing up for any form of telemarketing. However I did decide to take a chance on this and signed up. Part of the deal was to give them my debit card details over the phone - something I wasn't comfortable with, but decided to go ahead with anyway.

Of course they tried to fast-talk me into giving them another 300 pounds, but I spotted that one. Later that day my debit card stopped working. On calling the bank I discovered that about 40 minutes after giving out my card details someone had tried to register my card details on paypal (where I was already registered) - this automatically locked out my card.

Can I prove it was from them? No. But as I hardly use my card details anywhere else, and not recently, it is too much of a coincidence.

Later I discovered that what I was told on the phone was very different to the terms and conditions on the booking form on the website. In fact, the whole online booking system seems very flawed. I got more and more uneasy but eventually the promised vouchers never arrived.

I called them and they passed me around for ages and then asked me to wait a little longer. A month later I have called them back, as these still have not arrived and they again passed me around saying that they had sent another set of vouchers, which of course have not arrived either.

Despite my argument that I have been misled when signing up, that someone may have misused my card details and that I have not been delivered what I have paid for, I have been informed that it is completely non-refundable.

I feel that is £80 down the drain, but worse, my card details could very easily have been mis-used elsewhere.

I would advise everyone to stay as far away from these people as possible!

my mum rang me saying somebody had rang her and told her they were putting 248 into her bank,she is 67 and has dimentia,she didnt know what it was for and she coul'nt understand the person due to not being english.(3 months earlier she had had some fraud of 300 pound go out of her bank,which we could not trace,except it was a company in Australia,the bank refunded my mum this money).
My mum told me the company who had contacted her told her she had won some vouchers aswel. The day after i took her to the bank to get some money,her bank said "insuffient funds".The company had taken 248 pound out of her account within 6 minuites of the phone call the night earlier.The bank informed me i had to wait to see if the vouchers came before we could do anything.
The vouchers have arrived, and i have contacted the company on 13 occassions to explain my mum is 67,has dementia and cannot medically go on holiday,she does not have earnings of 20,000 pound,and could we have a refund due to the incompitence of the sales eople who sold her this.SHE DID NOT GIVE ANY CARD DETAILS,SO HOW DID THEY GET THE BANK DETAILS ANYWAY. i have got told my a Mr Alan Smith (who said he was the Manager,and told me to speak to nobody else about thi other than him,all 12 times i asked for him, never avaliable,he will call you back)I have never spoke to him since, lost my patience the last time with the sales man and said i have rang 13 times,he never rings me back so i will wait,He told me Alan is a very busy an and deals with lots of complains and does ring everbody backeventually.WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE COMPANY THEN.
It is now 2 months later,i have heard nothing of them and dont know which way to turn to get my mums money back,she is still overdrawn in her bank as her pension does not cover his with the bill money and food bill.Although i know there just a scamming company who cannot do anything to her,she has got it into her head that they are going to come to her house,she now is frightened to go out and leave the house,and she is frightened at night.
How can a company telephone old people and know there state of mind,how much money they have coming in or anything.
It seems funny though my mum didnt give any card details that time,but the fraud in her account the 3 months previous was from a company in Australia,thats all the bank could find out.Seems funny this company has a office in Australia.
If anybody can help me please do as im at my wits end on what they have done to my mum.

I have just bought the AUD198 accomodation voucher and am currently in the process of trying to book with them. So far I haven't had any complaints except that the lady told me she was from an Australian based company situated in Melbourne. Gave me the Australian Business Number, Address and evena local number. The credit card transaction came through with an international charge fee attached. Only AUD4.00 but that is not the point. She straigh tout lied to me about their location.

In fact I knew this was the case but I thought I would give it a go. Any way, I completed the online booking form and received a reply saying someone would contact me in 48 - 72 hours. It has now been a week. I followed them up with a phone call yesterday to be told that the person who looks after international was not in and he would call me back shortly. Tried to ring again today and the phone lines are all down as they are having an upgrade, tried to send an email to the address on their website and it rejected.

I will continue to chase this up and post an update as I get it. I have spoke to a few people within the country from this company so my optimism is still there but I am not completely sure that I haven't just thrown AUD198 away.

I got a call from makemyholidays offering me a discounted voucher for travel.
Excellent Customer Service. I went to Cyprus and it was good experience through makemyholidays. Trip was well organised.
Just i call customer service number and i told them my destination and they booked for me within an hour and gave me a confirmation mail and call stating the confirmation booking.
