    I scheduled a trip with Vantage on 6/21/2022 (reservation ******) which was to leave August 22, 2022. Vantage cancelled that trip and rescheduled ** for a similar trip, scheduled to leave June 15, 2023. They denied my request to cancel and provide a refund. They cancelled that trip on June 3, 2023 and following an exchange of e-mails they confirmed I was in the queue for a full refund ($12,936.00). Since then they have not responded to my inquiries and apparently have filed for bankruptcy on June 29, 2023.

    Vantage Travel was paid in full from us as members of their President's **** for $15,996 on 11/14/22 for a May 20, 2023 cruise (which ironically was cancelled a week before this date). My husband passed away on Jan 31, 2023 and refund was requested on Feb 13, 2023. I did purchase their travel insurance through Allianz and have filed a claim with them which was approved. I also sent in the paperwork requested by Vantage Travel, a death certificate and my original invoice. As of today, June 4, 2023, I have not received my refund as promised. A copy of the return correspondence is uploaded.Several calls to main customer service and through their elite President's **** member line and additional emails concerning this refund have been ignored with no further response.

    I am **-executor on my Aunt ********************* estate. My aunt *************** is the other **-executor. Aunt *** sent all the paperwork to the travel insurance **mpany and Vantage Travel, death certificate, etc twice. Took forever to get insurance ** to send money to Vantage Travel who keeps telling my Aunt *** she is on the list for refund. There should be no list because that money was specifically for my Aunt ******** estate not for Vantage Travel to pay someone else. They are using money that is not theirs. This happened in February and my aunt is always calling to check on. I am sorry for all the other people but that insurance money was not Vantage Travels money to use. We cannot close out the estate until we get this settled. Pay up!

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
