Egypt Trip
Unethical thieves! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! My wife and I purchased a trip to Egypt 6 months before the travel date. When the war broke out in neighboring Israel, we did not feel comfortable for several reasons traveling to Egypt. The US State Department has it listed as a Level 3: Reconsider Travel warning. We gave them 4 months notice. We didn’t even ask for our money back... instead, we simply asked to get a credit or transfer our deposit to a different trip. Not only did they refuse, they told us they were keeping 60% of our $3600 deposit! We canceled the trip and have been waiting over two weeks to receive our 40% refund. Now they are sending emails stating they aren’t going to refund us at all! Good luck calling customer service. I waited for 51 minutes on hold when an automated message came on and said, “All representatives are busy, call back at another time” and hung up on me. I kept calling and eventually spoke with a representative who recommended I pay the additional 40%! Are you kidding me? I asked to speak to a supervisor and they refused stating, “We don’t have supervisors. You have to submit a complaint through the website.” I have submitted numerous complaints and they keep sending an AI-generated message that says we aren’t getting our refund. Extremely unethical, crooked company! SPRINT, don’t just walk away from this company!
