  In March of 2024 I booked a hotel stay through surge 365,paid the $312.66 I was charged for the room for 3 nights, the receipt never mentioned nor did the person representing surge 365. The receipt said if I canceled there would be a charge for a one night stay, I did not cancel the company cancelled . Everytime I tried to speak with the they hung up, when I called back each time they hung up. Nothing was mentioned about keeping all of my money, I feel since they cancelled I should receive a full refund.

  I paid $579 in order to become a travel agent with surge365. After 5 business days as it is stipulated on their agreement I reached out to my sponsor ********* ******* to let her know that I wanted to cancel because the business was not for me. During all oh her presentations, all she does is trying to recruit people and to me a lit of the stuff she was talking about sounded unrealistic. When I tried to remove myself and get a refund she told me I couldn’t get a refund without any explanations. I bought the subscription on the 28th of September and requested the cancellation on the 5th of October. I was still in the 5 business days. I reached out to surge 365 through the app and put in a ticket and they told me I would not get my money back because I was outside of the window. ********* is very dishonest and she is ready to recruit people at all costs. This company is a pure scam.

  To whom it may concern: 
  
  Thank you for this platform that permits companies and consumers an opportunity to build trust and address concerns.
  
  Our company offers a simple, straightforward and informative enrollment process to all prospective representatives. The enrollment process consists of four steps.  The third step is tied only to our terms of enrollment and provides the prospective individual with links to review the terms.  The enrollee is prompted to review the terms of enrollment and must select a checkbox as confirmation (s)he has read and agrees to the terms.   These terms include the cancellation and refund policy.  We offer a hassle free, no questions asked, full refund of any monies paid within five business days of the transaction. 
  
  The individual who filed this complaint was not forthcoming with the details of her cancellation request. 
  
  First, she did not follow the instructions provided during her enrollment for requesting to cancel and receive a refund.  Please note, the instructions are also saved for each new representative under their personal login allowing them the opportunity to review the terms after their enrollment.   
  
  As per the instructions the cancellation request must be submitted to the corporate office within five business days of the purchase.  The complainant completed her enrollment on Thursday, September 28th.   She did not contact our corporate headquarters until Monday, October 9th to request the cancellation and refund.  Her request for refund was not approved as she was outside our refund policy guarantee. 
  
  Second, the individual accuses her sponsor of giving her incorrect information.  However, the image uploaded with this complaint shows “Friday” as the day the cancellation text message was exchanged with her sponsor.  She states she contacted her sponsor on the 5th business day but Friday was the 6th business day following her enrollment on September 28th.  We also have the dated text message to her sponsor showing the date of Friday, October 6 as the date of the exchange.  Her sponsor gave correct information as this individual was beyond the 5 business day cancellation guarantee.  
  
  Third, our understanding is this individual and her sponsor spoke after the text message was sent regarding her being beyond the time frame for receiving a refund but also discussing the options that were available to her.   According to the sponsor the representative was satisfied with the information provided and proceeded to join a training call the following day, Saturday, October 7th.  The representative also invited four guests who were on the training call with her.  The image she uploaded with her complaint follows suit with our understanding of the interaction between the two representatives.
  
  Our enrollment terms are our roadmap for operations.  We will not be able to honor the complainants request for refund as she was outside the terms of our refund policy.
  
  Thank you and please let us know if you have any questions or require any additional information.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  This whole Surge 365 company is a scam. What they sell you prior to you joining and what they present you is completely different. ********* lied to me about being able to book flights for people as soon as I join which is completely false. After I joined I was told I had to take a training and wait for 30 days. Also, when she was doing the launch of my business, she said she would be offering a free vacation to one of my guests and that was another lie. The launch party was more for her to recruit than my « business launching ». She never offered the so called free vacation. Instead she wanted me to recruit my friends first. How are people supposed to know the business if for them within 5 days when they have to wait for 30 days in order to get started? ********* rushed me to sign the contract and never told me about the 5 days. I do not have time to go back and forth. I was scammed as the product I was presented has nothing to do what I was sold. This surge365 is more of a ponzi scheme than a travel agency business. It is a pure scam and people like ********* are here to rob people. 
  
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ******** *****
