On 7/29/22 I had purchased both adult tickets and tube valet for 08/08/22. Due to weather forecast we planed on visiting on 8/9/22 instead and were told through the website that change of days were fine. Before leaving ****** co we contacted the park at 8am the day of and asked if we were able to visit 8/8 instead and were told that was fine to just visit guest services. After driving 2 hours and speaking to someone they told us we were unable to enter the park. When we told them about the phone call and whole experienced all the young kids proceeded to laugh about the situation. We asked constantly for a corporate number and name from the employees and they refused to provide us with any information. After being frustrated with them we had asked for a refund since we are unable to visit any other day due to school and work schedules and they said we couldnt receive a refund because I did not purchase tickets after not only having the exact credit card used but also bank statements from 7/29. Very unprofessional customer service and disappointed in my experience. My ticket confirmation number is *************. Why advertise that tickets can be changed any other day and told on the phone it was fine but after the long drive told something else. I have never received such horrible customer service anywhere. I have contacted customer service multiple times and left messages with no luck to speak to anyone. I have also sent emails and completed a survey dedicated to my visit although I did not visit and none of all have been answered.Business response

On Friday, July 15th I went to the Water World website to purchase tickets for my family for Saturday, July 16th. I went to checkout using my *********** Credit Card ending in "****" in the amount of $271.02. After I submitted, the screen returned with an error.. I was not emailed the tickets/receipt and therefore I proceeded to go back into the website and purchase with my ******** card ending in "****". The transaction was successful and I was emailed the tickets/receipt. I tried again to purchase a ticket for my daughter and her husband with the *********** Card ending in "****" in the amount of $94.50. That transaction was a success and I was emailed the tickets/receipt. On Sunday, July 17th I went to review my transactions an the $271.02 was posted to my account. I never received these tickets as again, the screen errored upon completion and so I proceeded with a different card. I have tried calling Water World as instructed on my *********** site after trying to dispute, but no one calls me back. I would like a refund for the full amount $271.02 to my *********** card ending in "****" as the transaction did not go through on the website, nor was emailed a receipt or tickets as I was in the other two attempts. I am attaching the transaction on my *********** Statement which you can see the second charge $94.50 as well as the tickets for the second transaction as well as the purchase on my KeyBank and tickets/receipt for those tickets. The are a few smaller transactions/tickets for Water World using my KeyBank card as I ordered the tickets upon request of my family and attached those successful ticket/receipt as well.Business response

To whom it may concern:
This morning I checked my account after speaking to someone Thursday, 8/11. The amount refunded to my *********** card was not the amount I disputed nor was told I was getting refunded in the response to the Better Business Bureau. I am not sure where this amount came from. My disputed amount was $271.02.

I am rejecting this response because:
Emailed via ************************ 9/31). **I'm trying to call ****** back this morning, 9/2 at 12:31p.Good afternoon CWhitlock. Sorry to be a pain in the rear about this. So, the amount I disputed was not a little amount. As you can see in the attached receipts and credit one statement. What I was refunded is what was the other transaction on my *********** card that was successful. That is why I highlighted on the statement above that one ($94.50) was ok, it is the $271.02 I am disputing as I never received a receipt nor tickets as I did above for my other transactions.
I have no reason to lie as you can clearly see I spent over $318 in tickets that day (more with food) NOT including the $271.02 I am disputing. I admit, I was refunded the $94.50 which was in error because it was also charged (successfully) to my card. I am requesting the remaining balance after the refund I received of $91.50 on 8/13.
Again,sorry to be a pain in the rear, but I am a single mother of 7 and that is not a small amount I can afford nor ignore.
Thank you for all your efforts. Below is a screenshot of the original dispute as well as a *********** screenshot just now in addition to the original submitted with my dispute.
Sincerely,
