So far not so good.
So far, not so good. Sat through the 90 minute presentation and now... no airline tickets or hotel voucher. The last guy simply said, "Ok, I have to get to my next appointment" and left the Zoom call. We tried to go back to the main room but no one was there. I would appreciate receiving what I was promised. I just tried going back into a new Zoom call and they kicked me out.
False promises
We were offered a "free" roundtrip airfare and two nights accommodations, which we were told we could use to go to Hawaii, in exchange for giving up 90 minutes of our time to listen to a travel share talk. We later learned that this "free" (translate $450 in fees) airfare and hotel was not available to go to Hawaii. They only offered cheap vacation destinations like Las Vegas at non-busy/non-holiday times that are cheaper than the $450 activation fee if we booked them ourselves. What a waste of time listening to Tramerigo's talk in exchange for false promises. Glad I only wasted time and haven't wasted money too. Reply to Tramerigo’s response: interesting how Tramerigo does not want to take responsibility for the third party vendor it contracts with to drum up its own business and would shift blame to them. And yes, I agree that several reps mentioned that we were responsible for taxes and fees on the “gift”… I just never imagined that the taxes and fees would surpass the value of the “gift” when compared to if we just booked it ourselves. Why on earth would our experience be an incentive to join this company? Fool me once…
This company is a scam
This company is a scam. They had a VA call me to set up appointment. For agreeing to the appointment, I was promised a gift just for sitting through the presentation. I told them I was married, but my wife was out of town. The VA told me to just say I was single. They said the presentation would take 60-90 minutes. We sat in a waiting room for 20 minutes before it started. The first guy was great, then they put me in a second room with another guy and it went downhill from there. I asked him questions that he obviously didn't know. He had to ask his supervisor and it took up even more time. After a total of over 2 hours, I finally told him that I had a an appointment that I was 5 minutes late for and he said let me go over the pricing quick. He gave me the price and I politely declined. Then he came back with a "I like you so I am going to give you this price", after I declined, he came back with, "I am only allowed 5 of these and I am giving it to you", I declined again and then he said, "oh wait, I totally forgot to tell you that someone signed up for their top program and couldn't pay for it so I can give this to you. Finally, I had to cut him off and let him know that I am now 20 minutes late for my appointment and his response was, "Well, I thought you wanted to save money on your travel, you can leave anytime". After I left the meeting I got a call telling me that I wasn't eligible for the gift because I had a wife and told them I was single(which is exactly what they told me to say). I tried to call the 3rd party company back, but no answer. I sent a text to the guy that did my presentation letting him know about the situation. I did receive a voucher the next day, but it wasn't what was advertised. They told me it was simply 2 round trip airfare tickets to anywhere in the US. They didn't mention there was $398 in fees involved, it was to limited areas and you had to say in certain hotels. Oh, and they said they had the best prices on hotel stays, so the first one I had him pull up was cheaper on Expedia!!! HAHA
You can get the same deals on your own…
You can get the same deals on your own with a quick Internet search. The so called resort deals are unused old Timeshares. They are not the nice timeshares, it's the old rundown timeshares. You can get the same deals if not better deals from Red Week or just doing a Google search. The discounts they say you can supposedly get on daily products and services you can get on your own. All they do is link you to Coupons.com (Seriously that is all it is, you click the link and it brings you to Coupons.com) Airfare deals (they say wait for the weekly deals to be emailed) Again you get the same deal if you look on your own. I Google searched the so call deals a few times and it was cheaper online. Okay so I found Hotel deals were cheaper by $4-$10 per week. If you find it cheaper (which I have).you get a 200% guarantee yet that only a $20 discount on average. That doesn't even cover the monthly fee.. Rental fees they admit are non existent. Cruises you give them when you want to go and they will call the cruise lines getting you the same rate you'd get if you call on your own. On and On and On..... Once they get you with the initial call, they ask you to take an onboarding call to explain how it works. This turns out to be a timeshare presentation and they push to sell you REI timeshare points.
Total ripoff- SCAM
What they promise does not actually work. It is grossly over priced for what is deliverable. I would strongly suggest not ever investing in this company and I was a fool for thinking it was good investment.
Lies!!!
Lies!!!! Deceit!!!! Do NOT JOIN THIS ORGANIZATION OR MEMBERSHIP!!! Tramerigo is not what they say they are. They have a point system that I was unaware of. They link other companies such as Viator and Traveladvisor in order for you to book flights, properties, etc. As we speak, I am trying to cancel this membership that they claimed that I could cancel at anytime and I am getting the "runaround!"
Some savings are small but the "weeks"…
Some savings are small but the "weeks" section is where I tend to book most because I like having a kitchen and I used to own timeshare, so it’s just familiar to me.. and those prices are unbelievable, almost as if I’m just paying a the small maintenance fee for my old timeshare before it kept doubling on me. But until you actually show up and see for yourself that they don’t don't give you crap about paying some hidden fees or other type of charges like my timeshare would always do, you won’t believe it. They haven’t nickel and dimmed me once and my annual dues has not gone up once. My timeshare was over a grand and I could only use it every other year. But here I get to use this each year and pay a fraction in comparison. And not have black out dates, exchange fees or having to constantly upgrade to get more access. This is a million times better than timeshare.
Church group
My dad gets free travel through this program because the pastor allows him to send out the passes to 100+ members of his church to book their church events and trips. They save money and he gets free vacations for helping out. Tramerigo is brilliant for creating that feature because a lot of the members of my dads church wouldn’t be able to make each event if they had to pay retail. And they aren’t even getting the full savings.
I just saved $623 off of the Grand…
I just saved $623 off of the Grand Bliss in Mexico...Wow. Super time there!

Between my family and I over the last few years, we travel quite often and if you add it all up we have probably saved close to 15K. So idk why someone would write a bad review here. Sometimes the savings can be small though but you can still save more than what you pay for the package in just one vacation if you travel in peak season and book everything through them. One thing I wish was better would be the overall layout of the site. Still easy to use, but I’ve seen better looking sites.
