This company is a scam. Don't bother. They also operate under 'Pulaski Tours and Travel'. Also PLEASE NOTICE -- The favorable reviews are from ghost accounts with no other reviews. Do you think someone created an account just to give these guys 5 stars? Absolutely ridiculous. If they charge you a deposit for their sales pitch, don't bother and simply dispute the charge with your credit card company. I've been sufficiently pissed off by their lack of providing any kind of service, especially in redeeming my "free trip". Spoilers -- there is no free trip. While on the phone, the woman I spoke with simply went to the Carnival website to quote me. What an absolute joke. Even if they have been around for 30 years, they are not looking out for the customer's best interests. Best to politely nod your head and walk on by if you see them. read more

Condominium Travel Club - Travel Services Near Me - Pulaski, New York

I would strongly caution anyone considering Condominium Travel Club. It felt like a timeshare-style pitch under a different name, with the same pressure tactics and limited real-world value. First, the "70-minute" Zoom presentation is misleading. Ours ran closer to 90 minutes, and then they pushed us into a one-on-one sales session afterward that would have gone even longer. When we declined and ended early, the salesperson was clearly frustrated. It felt very high-pressure and not respectful of our time. Second, the incentives were not delivered as promised. We received the initial $50 gift card for signing up, but the second one that was supposed to be provided after the Zoom call never came. Finally--and most importantly--the voucher itself is extremely hard to use. Availability is very limited, even when searching well in advance. Many destinations have few or no options at all. For example, we tried to plan a trip to Pittsburgh and found zero listings. Even when properties do show up, the dates are highly restricted. The few options that are available don't look very nice or updated, and many are not located in desirable areas of the destination. Overall, this experience felt the same as a traditional timeshare-style sales model: long presentations, high-pressure tactics, and benefits that are much harder to use than advertised. I would not recommend it. read more

We signed up with Condo Travel Club because the salesman said we could book short term 7 day condos for $99. Now that we are members, there are no $99 condo deals to be found. We are very disappointed and feel we fell for a scam. read more

If you want to save money on condos and cruises this is a soild company to work with. Being a former owner of timeshare, the savings on these condos is a 10! Lastly, my Wife loves their hands on approach. Every time she calls they either handle it right then, or get back to her right away. I would highly recommend this travel agency. read more

Alright, I signed up today. I gave $40 with the promise to receive $50 back and a 8 day 7 night free vacation. My 90 minute call is scheduled for next week Thursday. No, Im not signing up for anything because that is not what I was told I needed to do to gain the promised vacation. I will update this review to let you guys know if it's a true company or not. Also doing a review on my tiktok. Hopefully everything goes great. read more

Don't resell something at state fair that was sold two years ago that I never got anything for. Had forgotten until I realized I am getting calls everyday to use my package which costs money. Never got my 20 dollars back from first time or second time. They continue to call and change numbers as I block them. We went to the second one this August and were told we would get our money back and nothings and the annoying calls continue. Talk my name off all the lists and give me $40 back read more

I really enjoyed my experience and felt like the gifts they offered were really nice. I received my gifts in a timely manner. I will do business with them in future. They did a great job. I look forwards to doing business with them In the future. read more

Complete scam and liars with even worse customer service. I did their seminar time share presentation basically for a free cruise that had its own nightmares and now when trying to book it there's 100 hidden terms and conditions and even when trying to work with them on it they LITTERALLY told me I was sorry out of luck but they'd happily charge me over a grand for the supposed free cruise. I called their customer service and tried to work with them just to be told they wouldn't do anything and for whatever reason and without me even complaining the lady goes on and on about how she's not going to argue with me as if I had started arguing when I only explained the situation. Horrible horrible horrible!!! read more

Me and my Husband absolutely love this travel club! The Condominium travel club has helped me with the best prices for our dream vacations. We finally got to take our dream cruise thanks to the CTC team! They have the best customer services and guided me every step of the way! Thank you again CTC ! :) read more

I can't tell if this was a scam or not. Paid 20$ at the fair & never got this refunded back. They keep emailing me multiple links asking to provide my personal information. I'm just confused on what's going on. read more

Biggest scam. Worst thing I ever did. Spent thousands of dollars only to stop paying the $200 yearly fee due to issues. Was refused refund. People were jerks. read more

I just attended one of the presentations and I was very impressed. My husband and I joined. We were already planning to go to Alaska on a cruise. We had a quote from the cruise ship. We called the travel agency and wonderful Jane was able to send us a proposal where we saved over 1,800. Plus we got extra amenities added in. So everything that was promised in the presentation we got. I am super pleased with the professionalism of everyone I have talked to. If you like to travel, this is so worth it. Sincerely Gloriamm read more

After making a complaint with the Better Business Bureau I did coincidentally receive a response from the company. I was refunded my $40 deposit and given links that work for the gifts. They claimed it was due to an issue with the wrong email. It doesn't make sense to me because they did have the same correct email to schedule the video meeting. I will say that the gifts aren't worth it now that I have viewed them. The link to book the cruise is extremely complicated to navigate and seems like an outdated website from the 90s. In order to redeem the gift card you must enter one of your own bank cards first. And I didn't find anything worth booking at a good deal for the resort stay credit. I'm glad we at least got the deposit read more

although the sales pitch was truly no pressure - their free gifts for participating (cruiseand airfare) are utterly worthless. I got my certificates today, but I have to send them a money order for a so called "refundable deposit"- oh and then the fine print says upper and lower bunk cruise cabin.....like my husband and I want to sleep separate. And, there is a whole list of ships and ports it's not good on. So it's only good on the older ships, which we love....but wait you can only use between sept and dec and please send us dates and if we can't get you on then you may have to choose a different one.....blah blah blah ....yadda, yadda, yadda. Impossible to plan a vacation with around work constraints... the airfare one is just as bad. I am so glad we chose the zoom option and did drive an hour away to attend in person. Be honest with your prize - it's not just "some restrictions apply". it is massive restrictions apply, so much so you cant use it and we just made you waste an hour and a half of your lives. read more

We signed up with the understanding that this was the place for the best prices, BULL SHIT, everything i have searched I found better prices, they have agreed to match but never have they been better, lots of promises and little kept, the site to search is mostly unresponsive and the pictures suck if you have more than a couple you are lucky, I put in a search for Costa Rica and all inclusive and finally got tired of looking at crap, I WANT MY MONEY BACK, AND CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS COMPANY RUN FAR AND FAST LOTS OF PROMISES WITH VERY LITTLE DELIVERY. read more

Fibbers, SHAME ON YOU Conso Travel / Pulaski tours, Shame on you ! Actually to be totally honest, and pay due where due is necessary.. The people at Condominium Travel Club / Polaski, are LIARS & SCAMMERS ! Believe it people, they scammed us too, at our local County Fair. ALL UNKEPT promises, just like the other people giving the honest reviews Took us for over $5,000 and no services that amount to a hill of beans. Taking / SEALING our hard earned $$$$ and getting away with it. WE HOPE NOTHING BUT BAD things come your way for all of the future. Dan & Leann CA. read more

This is a total scam. You have to look really close at the small print. Was told on the initial call that Drury Inn could be booked through them. After purchasing i found out that was a complete fraud. Then I tried to schedule my "free resort". 1. You can only schedule from September to November excluding holidays. 2. It isn't free. You have to pay for fees, and there is a 1,400 dollar resort fee on top of the other fees. So, in essence it isn't free which again is a fraud. Recently tried to schedule a rental car through them and it was denied. So, went to Travelocity and got it cheaper than they were quoting me without issues. Again complete fraud. read more

My husband and I attended a webinar with the promise of a free cruise and 300.00 hotel voucher. Afterward they said they would e-mail the codes in two business days. It has been 4 business days. I have emailed as well as called and left a message I have not received any email or call back. Very disappointed, if this is how they run their business I do not want to invest my money with them if I have to play cat and mouse especially when booking vacations. read more

In 2016, they sold me a week for a condo for a couple of thousand in USD $$. At the time, i was told they would send me a book, that lists where the condos are, since they were out of them at the time. Then after they had my money, they said that there will be website instead of a book. I never got the book, and the website was so awful that one could not even search it. I had to scroll through lots of condos that I was not interested in. I gave up. Every year they want another $199 before I can even look at the inventory online. I won't pay the $199 until I know that there is somewhere that i might want to go. Really bad way to do business. Stay away! read more

We have been a member of this club for many many years. Made our money back on a couple of trips and continues to provide discounts on travel, condo's and admission to certain parks annually. Worth it if you have the time to travel. read more

Liars. Nothing but lies. Do not buy into it. A woman named Debbie argued with me over my free cruise I was supposed to receive. Never received an email. She kept saying "Well it was sent and sent to the address you gave us and it says you opened it" it's nowhere in my deleted, spam or inbox and I do not permanently delete my stuff. These people are absolute crooks. BEWARE read more

This is a total scam! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY! They said we got an 8 day vacation to resort in Mexico, that was a lie. When we signed up to hear about this scam they said we would get a free cruise. That was a lie. When signing up they said they have packages for family of 5 that do short weekend trips, that's was a lie! read more

Attended the 90 minute presentation with promise of $30 reward card, and additional travel gift card, a cruise and a stay in Mexico. They said we'd receive the account creation information in 2 days, and ended up sending it to us a day early. We created our account, but upon attempting to claim our prizes, noted that we had not been provided with the correct login info for the $30, nor any login info for the cruise/other gift card. Have yet to work on the mexico vacation. Very disappointed in the dishonest way this was run, but not surprised. I have emailed for this to get fixed and will change my review upon my actual receipt of the cruise and $30. Should I not get these within the next five days, I'll be contacting the BBB on Friday due to their operating outside of their guarantees. read more

I was able to connect with the team and was refunded my initial deposit. While the product offerings are not for my family, I will agree that their customer service is great and dedicated to resolution of issues. read more

1yr later and it's been a total waste of money. Hidden resort fees & excluded dates, etc. Everything you get warned about & yet here I am along with the masses saying the same things... Didn't get to use those "free" cruise & other presentation vacations (all the extra fees & limitations are not provided during presentation). Bought the five thousand membership & can't use it because there's either nothing available or their prices (or as much as they'll disclose) are the same as what you can get anywhere else. One time we almost booked using our five thousand dollar membership but they refused to tell us what the cost details would be, you know the things like "taxes or cleaning fees" that's right, the basics you would get when making a reservation through any legitimate company, but Condominium Travel Club wouldn't provide it... wouldn't give us those details. Don't forget once you become a member and give your $5000 you then have to pay a minimum annual membership due of $199 forever unless of course it goes up but if you failed to pay your $199 your account will be suspended and charged $499. (On another shady note: association- double check "Pulaski Ticket & Tours"). I honestly don't trust any of the positive reviews that have been written on here, most are so over the top or so far off from all the consistent negative reviews that you know they have to be insiders trying to offset the Yelp negative reviews. Eg: the rave reviewer (account has written 1 review written only for this company, similar to other positive reviews you'll find) who wrote that they had traveled 10 times using the 1wk get aways that year and went on to say more extremely unrealistic travel experience with CTC . "hmmmm, for someone to have such great luck in one year to be able to travel more than 10 times using this Condominium Travel Club. I've been with CTC for a year and haven't been able to to find one appropriate travel opportunity and I invested a big chunk of money into this so I obviously had intentions in using it but so far NOTHING and complete loss of this membership after attempting over and over again....". I do value Yelp but honestly readers still need to read between the lines and weed out some of these obvious company insiders vs true consumers who have had experiences. read more

I went online to receive out $30 gift card after we signed up for $20 of our money. What a waste. It wouldn't email me the code. Checked the junk and nothing. I used a different email and it went through. After putting in my info to claim the $30 gift card that was promised to me, it wanted me to put on my credit card info. For what? You're the ones who's supposed to give me my gift card. I'm not even bothering with the so call great deal on the cruise because it's a waste after reading more into it. Next time you see these travel people at a show or fair just keep walking. You can keep my $20!!!! read more

Pretty upset with this company. We did one of their Zoom calls to get the 5-day cruise and a cheaper resort stay and they gave us the codes to sign-up, but every time we tried to register the codes they gave us, they didn't work or said they had already been used. I tried to use the code for the cruise and then it said it would send me an email to finish setting up but I never received an email. I even checked my junk mail and no email was received. Pretty disappointed in this company and will tell my friends not to sign-up when you see them at the fair. It's a scam. read more

$5/k up front + $199 (or more) per yr as maintenance fee. If you attend a presentation (record it) they do not provided what they offer. They use multiple travel portals that show an initial extremely low price (but charge outrageous resort fees that make the prices standard). CTC won't show you the break down in your reservation costs either, so unlike a typical reservation that shows taxes, fees, etc they won't provide so you get financially blind sided without the option of choosing specifics. AND, yes, we did the whole presentation & bought paid in full for the $5/k- It has been a complete 100% loss, the travel vouchers were unusable, *read the fine print, there are so many exclusions & additional fees you're better off just shopping around. Worse of all is the loss of the $5/k you can't use the prices they market are not unique, if your pause & cross check the resorts they are actually using either they're ones off market so CTC can say whatever price they want or you'll find the same price is available to the general public. It's been 100% loss. The BbB can't do anything either, I spent quite a bit of time working with BbB regarding my case. I have tangible evidence of failure from CTC to disclose financial detail regarding reservations & other issues, it was explained that BbB is a nonprofit & even when found in favor they can't force a refund. It was also explained the BbB reviews must be kept unbiased unless the other party fails to reply, so bitterly all CTC has to do is say "anything" in response to a grievance & BbB wouldn't be able to put a negative rating. CTC has a travel membership club agent (I'm giving a fake name) "Denise" who provides the most intimidating service, if you ask too many questions she asks for your information in a threatening way "what's your last name!" I replied "why do you need my last name I'm just asking general questions", Denise says "give me you last name, I want to look you up". Seriously, intimidating your customers when they ask too many questions about the holes in the fake system. read more

Excellent service as a member save great amounts annually our travels thank you Deborah for all your help.

To be expected, they are fast talkers and offer a lot of exciting experiences. But when it comes time to actually try and utilize the service there's no availability. The units that are available around the times to travel aren't what are actually wanted & only provided a couple hundred dollars less (I'm being gracious) than what they're on the market for. Those travel agents that are supposed to be helping find vacations, good luck, it took a week to get an email back after my months of researching kept leading me to a dead end I figured I'd use this advantage that was marketed to me with this travel specialist who is available to help research & secure desired locations. The gist of the response from the travel specialist was simply stated "we'll let you know if something becomes available". And don't forget to read the fine print because on those amazing 75% off all inclusive resorts that are flashed in front of you during the marketing of this club, in the fine print you'll see if they make all their money back and more. You're better off buying straight off the Internet market vs using this club. I still can't believe that I became one of the suckers who bought into this. It's a humbling experience to find myself shaking my head & thinking "wow that was a a lot of wasted money." read more

NOT all Travel Clubs are the same!!! Condo Travel Club is certainly the BEST of the Best. From decision to reservation to expectation, the club deserves 5 stars all around. I have used the club for 10 years and I have always been extremely happy with every trip taken. Cruises are Karen's speciality and she doesn't miss a trick, Condo's are Abby's things and "what a professional she is time and time again. CTC also gives back to breast cancer survivors by providing travel services and vacations to women who are recovering from the fight. I highly recommend joining this club and using their services. The fee is minimal and what you get in return is Priceless!! read more

Thank you but The reason we paid $20 at your State Fair promotion was for a 3 day cruise. We listened to ur promotion n joined only to find fees were as much as the cruise. Even ur employees said it wasn't worth it? We never booked after that. We use reviews before we travel and every place offered said bedbugs n stay away including the Banyan. read more

DO NOT Waist your money on this company's services!!! The free travel vouchers are no good and they are expired when they mail them to you! You can find better deals by looking on Bookit.com and contacting property's direct. I submitted for the cruise voucher after I joined and the respond back was I will hear something in 7-14 days. It has been 15 days and I have heard nothing. I paid 4K for this service and feel like I was scammed. Save your money and do not give this company a penny.. Jeff read more

Fantastic service all around. They helped me book my cruise to South Africa and beat the prices by a big amount. They also helped me with the hotels before and after which were more than half the price online. A special shout out to Jason who was amazing throughout the entire process. read more

Happy to write a review of the service i have received from the CTC in the past 5 years Every resort rental has been top notch and the pricing is superb..They keep you up to date in a timely fashion and are prompt in returning calls etc read more

This company lies when they use the word "gift". Do not bother with the presentations. (If a company lies to get people to sign up - they can lie about the entire program.) The Carnival Cruise is NOT a gift - you pay for it. The "Discount Dollars" of $100 are just like the coupons that come in the mail. It is an entertaining presentation - but this is a slimy company who uses trickery to get people sucked in. If a program is truly good - you don' have to use tricks to sell it. At the meeting you will be asked to join for $8000!! Just use Kayak.com or travel apps on your phone, AirBnB, VRBO.com, go straight to Carnival and click on their deals. Shame on Condominium Travel Club and Pulaski Tickets and Tours. DO NOT TRUST THEM. The below was copied from the "Gift" website after I registered my "gift certificate": Q - Is my Cruise Free? A - No. It will cost you $174 to $233 per person. Your cruise is for 3-5 days during the off peak season according to your Award Certificate. Pricing is dependent on the length of cruise you choose and the Port of departure. Government taxes, fees, Port expenses and non-commissionable fees range from $174 to $233 per person We do not control those prices. The Cruise line and Government Agencies set those prices. Prices above are based on double occupancy.   Q - Can I travel anytime? A - No. If you want the prices quoted on the Award Certificate ( $174 - $233 per person ) you must travel off peak. Off Peak is September, October, November or December and excludes holiday weeks as described on your certificate. Any other time is peak season and is quoted at our 'promotional pricing'.   Q - What kind of cabin do I get? A - You get an entry Level 1A cabin. Typically, 1A cabins have bunk beds.   Q - Can I upgrade to other cabins? A - Of Course! You can upgrade to ANY cabin at our 'Promotional Pricing'. Upgrade Pricing is guaranteed to be lower than the cruise line pricing at time of booking. It is not simply the difference between what the Government charges for Taxes and Port fees on 1A cabins minus the price of whichever category you choose. read more

This was mind and wife's first experience with condo travel club booking we called short notice for condo in Florida delt with agent Sheena nier within a week she found us condo on beach what a pleasure to deal with people like Sheena Dan & Lauren Lewis read more

It looks like my "update" erased my initial post. To sum up: Signed up for the Pulaski Travel/ Condo Travel Club sales pitch at the state fair with the promise of a free cruise (except port fees). The sales pitch was groovy, but the club is/was not for us at this time. So, we didn't buy into the club. We did pursue the free cruise, however. After not hearing back from the travel club for about 2.5 months, they got back to us with potential cruises. Notice, their free cruise offer has a blackout period comprising 9 months, so you can only take advantage of this offer in a 3-month window minus a few reserved days in that time frame. So, they did get back to us by email just before Thanksgiving day (11/26/19). I bumped the rating to two stars, maybe 2.5 stars would be better. A polite email spec'ed out three cruises. The inside cabin with bunk beds for 5-night Caribbean cruise was 250pp. For ocean view, pushing 500pp and obstructed balcony 800pp. Not bad pricing, but feels similar to what I see from other online sources--I know those online sources don't include port fees. So, I think the free cruise offer didn't work out for us after all, but the entire experience with Condominium Travel Club (delayed response aside) was fine. read more

The company did do what said they would do. We bought in but decided that it was not for us during our 5 day grace period. We asked for a refund. They gave it to us with no hassle. They tell you up front the you have pay taxes and port charges for the free cruise. Even thou we did not stay in, the people were very nice and helpful. read more

The first paragraph isn't necessary if you want to skip. CTC aka Condominium Travel Club aka Pulaski's Ticket and Tours located at the previous (it seems previous) address of SD TLC Resorts in Oceanside, CA. To put things straight, this location is different and shouldn't be compared to the Concord, CA location (granted they are under the same major brand) they are totally different and the representatives at the Oceanside branch would gladly elaborate why they are different from the other supposed "closed down" location. Went to the presentation via Del Mar Fairgrounds, mainly wanted the free tickets for a Carnival Cruise considering that I go on cruise yearly. Anyways to keep things short, showed up to my scheduled time, listen in on the presentation which lasted about 90ish minutes, I was actually excited to sign up with them towards the end of the presentation because I did some research under the name "Condominium Travel Club" prior to my seating and nothing negative appeared so I thought this was going to be a excellent investment. Afterwards, I did a search on (I didn't know that they had 2 names) Pulaski's Ticket and Tours and those reviews mainly Concord, CA made me have to many 2nd thoughts so I did cancel based on those reviews. I know as of right now, the Oceanside location "seems" to be honest, they did refund my deposit, with a very very slight fight aka salesmen pitch, but that's to be expected. I won't say that its completely a "no-pressure zone" as they advertise but it isn't remotely close to other timeshares (which they aren't a timeshare by the way). Although, before I do forget to mention it has been around 13 days from when I've booked my "free cruise" and still no word from them, but in their defense they still have 1 more business day? I did get a phone call about a week later from someone (manager?) asking me why I had cancelled, I guess for the record? but who knows, anyways to boil it down. -Would I recommend to a friend? No, not because I don't trust them, but because I simply didn't use the service -Why did I write this review? Simply to express that this location doesn't appear to treat their guest/customers the same as the Concord facility, it just might be a legit location. -Would I sign up again in the future? It's definitely on the list, if they turn out to be legit, vacationing will be a breeze. -Why 3 out of 5 stars? Even though the pressure to "buy" was a little better then other presentations, it was still a little pushy, the hours are terrible, but the main reason.... I start every review with 3 stars, which means neither good or bad, and this is exactly how I feel about this location. read more
