It also had a 1-800-809-6310 with a corresponding offer # to verify after I call. So, not wanting to waste any time on redeeming my two newly minted tickets, I called in.
The woman that picked up the phone did not identify herself by “US Airlines” as the airline ticket I received in the mail said. She said she was from World Wide Travel. I was confused. She asked me for my “offer number” on the back of the ticket. I gave it and she verified the spelling of my name.
I am not as lucky as you might think. As it turns out it is for a company in
She then started reading (funny how you can tell when people do that on the phone) me her canned pitch. It went something like this:
“Mr. Lewis, this free travel offer is not a timeshare. Also, it is only available for couples who make more than $45,000 per year and have a valid credit card. Do you fit that category? Ok, Great. We would like to invite you into our office for a 90 minute proposal to discuss your travel needs and at the conclusion of that session you will receive your two free tickets to any international airport. Can we schedule you tonight, tomorrow, or Friday at 6PM?”

Unfortunately this type of “Advertising” goes on all too frequently. I felt like I was in
Have any of you received this same mailing? Would you have gone to the meeting?

Thanks for adding this. It made it easier for my wife to believe me that it is bogus.
I just got one as well. Mine was for US Airlines
I just got one that looked identical to yours but was from "America's Airways". Looked all professional and legitimate.

How could anyone believe this is legit? I got mine this past week, and knew before I even opened it there was a scam involved. "America's Airways?" Bogus airline = bogus deal.
And anytime someone takes the effort to make something appear official usually means it isn't.
This is a huge misrepresentation and a scam! Please do not do any business with them. You can Google their phone number (888)331-3331 or the name World Wide Travel Center and see the over abundance of unresolved issues and complaints. If you want to be treated like trash, spend your vacation time and money on them, and be trapped for 5 hours only to be begged to buy a timeshare…then go. But, nothing is “free”. Beware!

We received a call last fall from Worldwide Travel Center asking us to vacation in Branson, MO. The cost was $69.00 for the package so I bought it with the agreement to receive 3 days and two nights as another "free vacation"…
