TravelUp Reviews Summary

The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in the ease of the booking process and competitive pricing, which many customers found straightforward and efficient. However, significant concerns arise around customer service, particularly regarding unresponsive support, issues with reservation confirmations, and difficulties in modifying bookings. Instances of billing discrepancies and perceived bait-and-switch tactics have contributed to a growing sentiment of frustration among users. While some customers report positive interactions with staff, the overall trend indicates a need for improved communication and reliability to enhance customer trust and satisfaction.

The dates I searched were the 18-20, but when I got to the confirmation page, the dates had somehow changed to the 25-27! Something in their system seems to be off, but it's been quite difficult to try to work with them to change the dates to the correct dates that I'd originally searched; all the while they're telling me it's "non-refundable".

When I booked with Travel Up, when I tried to pay for my ticket, I got an error message that they couldn't process my card (not sure why). So then I booked my ticket directly through the airline, and got a confirmation right away. Fast forward two days later, I get a confirmation from TravelUp that they processed my transaction. I immediately replied (within 3hrs of the email) requesting a refund, and have heard nothing from them. I'm afraid that I will have to dispute the charge with my credit card company.

I was asked to pay a deposit of $30 and 20 minutes later the full amount came out of my account. Then when I tried to contact customer service, there wasn't any. Then I realized the dates did not match up of my purchase. Please refund the full amount to my account.

I booked a hotel on them at 2am local time for that night due to local weather. Despite changing the date to the right date and them accepting it they booked for the following day. I immediately called them and they confirmed that their system didn't book it as requested so they canceled it. They then said it was nonrefundable. I protested and they said they would call the hotel to request permission for a refund and put me on hold. They came back after a few minutes and claimed they called the hotel front desk and didn't get refund permission. At that time I was standing at the front desk talking to the manager. I was on speaker phone so the manager heard and identified himself then tried to confirm the number they called called the correct number, they refused. He offered to call them and they refused. The hotel has been trying to help me get this fixed but 5 days later I am still being billed. At least the hotel manager has been find enough to provide documentation to help me dispute the charge with the credit card company.
