On July 22, 2023, I attended a fundraiser called Dash for **** at a private non-profit sportsman club I am a Officer at. One of the items was a Silent Auction for trips promising 4 day/3 night stay holding a value of $316 per night and a total value of $947 dollars. The company promising the trip was Vacation Fundraising located at ********************************************************** Phone#************. Said Company also affixed insignia that the were accredited with the better business bureau.I made my final auction bid of $200.00 for a trip to the *********** located in *******, and won and immediately was advised to make a ****** payment online, which I did and the money was withdrawn from my bank. Three days later I was instructed to pay a additional $164.00 for taxes and fees which I did. I was than sent a voucher and began trying to book a vacation. My inital stipulation was Hotel booking was based on Hotel availability. Than I immediately noticed that I could only pick dates during the winter months from November 19th - February ****. When Gulf Coast Temps are in the 60's. They also requested a upcharged for all rooms and the room I would need for the 2 dults.and 2 children advertised was requesting a additional $101.29 per night. When I called the ************ advertised I was able to pick numerous dates from September to October for price amounts of $808 which is under my $947 voucher limit.When I called Vacation Fundraising a man stated that the Hotel will only book during off seasons and the upcharge was Hotel policy. All of which was a lie when I called the ************ Corporate Office who is investigating this now after a lengthy call. The hotel even called his alleged upcharges from the hotels the third parties hidden fees and not theres. The Hotel even stated they did not approve this package. The male owner or representative for Vacation Fundraising is refusing to return my money and is telling to wait and try booking next year.
