Forced automatic renewal

Forced automatic renewal.
Their annual reminder went into trash box (where it belongs)
I was automatically charged the annual fee - which I did not need and have not used their website in over a year.
They would not refund me. Poor customer service.

Hello Belle,

I'm sorry to hear that you did not intend for your Club Membership to renew. I understand that automatic renewals can sometimes be overlooked. When a membership is purchased, whether as a 30-day trial or an annual membership, renewal terms are provided during enrollment. We also send a purchase receipt that includes instructions on how to manage or cancel future renewals.

In addition, members with annual subscriptions receive a renewal reminder approximately 30 days before the renewal date, providing an opportunity to cancel before the next billing cycle.

If you have any further questions, please let us know. Our team is happy to help.

Regards,

Stay away from Travelzoo BE AWARE!!!

Stay away from Travelzoo. My experience has been terrible.

I signed up for the $1 trial mainly because Travelzoo advertised an airport lounge benefit. I tried to use that benefit and it did not even work.

Then the paid annual membership started and I was charged $50. I canceled the same day I became aware that the paid membership had started because I did not want the service — especially after the main benefit I signed up for had already failed.

Travelzoo still refused to refund me.

What makes this worse is that Travelzoo tells customers to contact Member Services if they are not satisfied with the service. I did exactly that. Instead of actually addressing why the advertised benefit failed, their employees and even a supervisor kept repeating the same policy language about the $1 trial being non-refundable.

Their customer service has been extremely unhelpful. I have repeatedly asked them to address the actual issue — why a benefit they advertised to sell the membership did not work — and I still have not received a meaningful answer.

So from my experience: they advertise a benefit, the benefit fails, the $1 trial turns into a $50 annual charge, you cancel right when the paid membership begins, and they still refuse to refund you.

Their “contact us if you are not satisfied” language felt completely meaningless when I actually tried to use it.

The whole experience makes it feel like the business model is to attract customers with a cheap trial and advertised benefits, then rely on the fine print once the annual charge hits.

Be very careful giving them your payment information. I would not recommend Travelzoo and would stay away.

Unexpected $50 membership charge — refund refused

I have NEVER used Travelzoo. I browsed it one time and today received a $50 membership fee??!!! I called to cancel and they refused. After this happened, I found numerous consumer complaints describing similar unexpected annual auto-renewal charges and refund refusals.

Hi Tanya,

I understand automatic renewals can sometimes be overlooked, I can confirm when the membership is purchased as a 30-Day trial or annual membership, we share the renewal details.

We also send a receipt with instructions covering how to cancel the renewal and for annual memberships, a renewal reminder is sent 30 days before renewing.

Please let us know if any further questions come up. Our team is happy to help.

I booked a vacation with a Travelzoo…

I booked a vacation with a Travelzoo sponsored travel company (UTO Vacations). I gave them $600 deposit for a China trip that was cancelled & reposted for twice the original price I booked for. UTO only gave me a credit, which I did not want. Travelzoo said they wouldn’t do anything to help me get a refund. I wouldn’t use Travelzoo as you won’t get a refund if your trip is cancelled.

Hello David,

I'm sorry to hear that your trip was cancelled and that we were unable to provide the resolution you were hoping for.

When reservations are made with our travel providers, we are required to adhere to the terms and conditions associated with the booking and are unable to override them.

I recommend contacting your travel insurance provider to discuss any available coverage or reimbursement options related to your cancellation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Lisa M.

Really nice hotel and spa

Really nice hotel very quirky and lots to look at. Staff were very nice, and friendly. Our Hammam was very relaxing and a great experience. Afternoon tea was lovely one each with plenty to keep you full. 2 for 1 discounts on cocktails at present we had on the roof terrace which was so beautiful decorated. A must visit

Excellent place for tea!

The Parlour at Great Scotland Yard Hotel is a delightful place to have tea - or any other meal. The tea served there was excellent with very original and unusual savories, scones and cakes. The tennis-themed cakes were both amusing and delicious. The selection of different teas and the service were good too.
The tour was less good. The guide was enthusiastic but there's not much to see of the original police headquarters so all he can do is talk about the artefacts there and the history. It's a curious building and probably a great place to stay (expensive) but in that part of London there are far more impressive things to see nearby.
