Travel Partners USA, LLC - - Fort Lauderdale, FL Reviews

Viewpoint Readers, 

I have been a member of Travel Partners USA, LLC for over three years and I can't even begin to understand where these complaints come from.  The people complaining must be confused, thinking of a different company or have some personal axe to grind. The criticisms are unfair and in many cases, simply untrue.

When I first joined I was holding an itinerary for a European cruise.  I am an experienced world traveler and I feel I had been quoted a fairly reasonable price.  Travel Partners saved me enough money on that one trip alone to recoup my entire membership fee and I...

I myself have been a travel agent for 20 years both in St. Louis Missouri and here in Florida at Variety Vacations. I can really appreciate the agent that goes the extra mile. After a rocky start, where we were not interested in continuing the relationship with the company, we stayed, because they had appointed JP as the main travel agent. Since then, we have truly received the best quality service that I had expected when I joined in the first place, so that I could retire and stop doing all the work. Tony and I both thank them so very much for staying on top of things. Since we are staying members,...

We were so thrilled from receiving the benefits of our membership, that we wrote a letter to our travel consultant, J.P., who works with Travel Partners USA, LLC:

J.P.,

Thank you for taking the time to send us a copy of the information about our all-inclusive trip to Jamaica. As I mentioned on the telephone, it was just a pleasure making those arrangements with you. You are truly a travel specialist from the old school. Our vacation seemed to have already began with our conversation with you. Your professionalism, sense of humor and hospitality are exactly what we needed. The only words to...

My husband and I became members with Travel Partners USA, LLC, about a year ago. We are not very frequent travelers, and when we do decide to take a trip, it has been within the states, and we did all our own travel arrangements. However, with this membership we thought we might as well put it to use. We were contemplating for a while of a trip to China, but we were so overwhelmed with the many decisions of how to do it that we had even thought of dropping the whole idea. However, we had the pleasure of meeting the director of agency services. We are so impressed with her patience, travel knowledge,...

Travel clubs: State officials see rise in complaintsIn Florida, more than 300 consumers filed grievances against travel clubs last yearBy Diane C. Lade | South Florida Sun-Sentinel May 4, 2009

William Houslanger canceled his $5,200 membership to a Fort Lauderdale based travel club the day after he and his wife bought it when they learned they would have to pay to fly to California to claim a "free" trip they were promised for joining.

Consumers, under state law, can get their money back if they back out within 72 hours of signing up. And Houslanger, an 89-year-old Boca Raton resident, said Travel...

My partner, Liliana and I are busy professionals who joined Travel Partners USA, LLC almost one year ago. Unsure of how to make the most of our membership, we began reading the weekly newsletters that the company publishes and planned a short weekend getaway. Fortunately, one of the agents there diligently searched to find us a place that fit our specific needs and accepted our Shih Tzu traveling with us. The agent made suggestions and tailored our stay coloring our first experience with Travel Partners a positive one. Lily and I searched the internet for the perfect summer vacation. We spent countless...

I have had the pleasure of working with Travel Partners USA, LLC's chief travel consultant, J.P. for nearly two years. He has always spoken highly of the company and its concept. I was privileged to visit the office two years ago. He was kind enough to invite me in August 2007, when Oceania cruise did their presentation. Prior to the presentation, JP sat with me to give me a clearer picture of the wonder benefits Travel Partners USA, LLC's clientele received by being a member. The overview was very simple, understandable and precise. What a concept!

I have personally worked with JP on several...

We became members in the third week of February. The week after we booked a 12 night Princess Cruise for $3168.16, as opposed to $3826.16, this was quoted for Cruise.com, amounting to a savings of $1316.00. With the commission rebates, we saved a total of $1683.00. We had a car rental in Rome, and paid $397 for the total rental costs. That is $345 LESS than I found on the internet. Our TOTAL savings for the FIRST WEEK ALONE was $2,028. If we saved so much money in the first week, imagine how much we would save with Travel Partners USA, LLC for our entire membership, which is LIFETIME! I couldn’t...

This travel club's service is superlative. They had great service in arranging our trip, working out the details, gettings us away from a potentially fraudulent booking company, persistant calling, and even emaiiled the manager of the hotel inside, and not to mention dealing with the language and time barriers. Outstanding service! I've booked many travel arrangements for our vacations many times but I could never have handled this. I want to note to all those that say that Travel Partners USA, LLC's prices are the same as online. I went online SEVERAL times to see if I could get better hotel or...

About two years ago, my husband and I joined Travel Partners USA, LLC. We were leery about joining at first because of what had happened to other travel club companies, and how they were leaving their clients in the dark because of bankruptcies, etc. However, we were suggested to go to JP, one of the travel consultants there by the travel agency director. He has been wonderful to work with and especially the patience he showed when we had a group of Knights of Pythians, booked last Dec. for an Eastern Caribbean Cruise. There were some that were extremely difficult to work with, and he handled it...
