      It also important to note that I received a voicemail from Gabby from Jetride on April 5, 2025 asking me if they could provide options to me so I would renew my membership for *********. I had previously decided not to renew. I was in Good Standing or they would not have called and invited me two different options that are more affordable. Because I was in Good Standing with Jetride, on April 8, 2025, I received two options to continue my membership. Gabby was extremely nice.  Apparently, Gabby and I did not know my account was suspended. This lacks chain of communicatioin.

      Jetride suspended my membership without providing any evidence or formal explanation, citing an unfounded accusation about guests on a boat. This caused disruption to scheduled nonprofit-related events, and despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, I have received no response since April 17, 2025. This reflects a breach of contract, lack of due process, and poor business practices.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 04/26/2025

      This documentation highlights a lack of transparency and inconsistent communication from Jetride regarding the suspension of my membership. Despite multiple requests for clarification and evidence, Jetride has failed to provide any concrete evidence supporting the accusations against me. The correspondence shows unprofessional conduct by Ms. ******* ***, who refused to provide documentation or listen to my side of the story. Additionally, Jetride has not responded to my follow-up inquiries, leaving my membership suspended without valid justification.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 04/26/2025

      I would have shared this with Ms. **** but during our conversation, she cut me off and was rude to me. To be fully transparent, I have sometimes had friends ask if I could take their family out on the waterways while they were in town, or if they could bring a friend along to enjoy boating. In all of these instances, my friend(s) have always been with me on the boat. Being from ******** it's understandable that visitors want to experience the beauty of our waterways. These outings were always social, never commercial, and I made every effort to ensure they complied with Jetrides policies.

      I am rejecting this response because: I am not satisfied at this time. Jetride has not contacted me since May 9. While they did reach out on May 6, they have yet to take accountability or offer an apology for failing to communicate with me after April 17, denying me due process, or for the issues I experiencedincluding fuel problems and being sent out on a boat with a malfunctioning steering system while I was with my friends.

      Sincerely,

      ******* *****

      In addition, in October 2024, I had a boat reserved, but when my friend and I arrived at Jetride, we were sent home because the boat was not workingand no replacement boat was provided. Friends drove from ******* and ************** to go boating with me. I would like Jetride to address this issue.

      I understand that folks.  I have no interest in a "service membership" with a business that my closest access is 45 min away.

      I joined the *********** location.  I understand and appreciate their repair requirements however, I am seeking to terminate my agreement with them and further ******** as using what's available just isn't going to cut it for me.

      Complaint: 22483824

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Yesterday I was called and told they would suspend the account/membership until the site was back online.  They stated that probably would be May 2025.  But they are not interested in terminating the agreement, they fully intend to drag this out until they collect on every ***** they can.  I will again maintain that if a paid service becomes unavailable, that I should be allowed to terminate my relationship.

      I would like to also add that all businesses of this nature carry business owner insurance-  and one of the coverages is typically lost business.  If they want to add my account to their insurance claim - that would ensure they have financial coverage for the amounts they need to write off.

      They are nakedly groping for any dollar they can collect.


      Sincerely,

      ***** *******

      Twice JetRide has suspended my account without notifying me in any way. I called customer service and they had no explanation and said they would have a supervisor contact me and even gave me a specific time. I was never contacted by the supervisor and when I called back several times no one would ever pick up. I invite people to go out with me and have to cancel because I go to the website and see my account is suspended without notifying me. Since they seem to just arbitrarily cancel my account whenever they feel like it, I would prefer they just terminate my contract since they obviously don't want me for a customer and do not debit my credit card for any additional payments.

      Jet ride has consistently overcharged me for gas. This is a boat club, where you pay monthly then you are supposed to pay for the gas you use. Twice in the past I complained and received a partial refund. Yesterday was the worst overcharge yet. They keep telling me to ask the deckhand to top off the tank in front of me and every time the deckhands refuse to do so. This ongoing issue has caused anxiety in reserving a boat. Im paying for a memberships that I dont want to use because of this aggravation.

      I decided to sign up for Jetride's services back on 06/14/2023 & paid my first and last month's deposit of $960.86. My training session was supposed to be on 6/20/2023 & I showed up on time to discover it was never set up. I called customer service & then waited for a call back. They called back about 6 hours later & I missed the call. At this point I just wanted to cancel & get my refund back. I called numerous times with no luck and finally was told to email them at a specific email address & received no response from them either, I then emailed their general email & maybe a week later received an email stating I would receive a call from a manager which also never happened. I cannot get anyone on the phone to help ****** just want my refund back in a timely manner.
