For those using AAA for roadside assistance, here are my issues:…read more1) I've been a "member" for 15 years; I renewed a month ago, but bought a new car that has roadside assistance for 2 years; 2) I thought it would simple to downgrade my plan from "premier" to "classic" . . . nope! 3) AAA Mid-atlantic - unlike AAA Northeast - does not provide pro-rata refunds . . . "it's a corporate rule" I was told over and over by the supervisor at the call center; 4) I also could not cancel my membership; I'm stuck with services I won't need for 11 months. 5) This is a greedy rule; 6) I had always declined roadside assistance from GEICO and USAA . . . but never again! As I learned today, it's the same level of service as AAA and MUCH CHEAPER! 7) With this auto-policy service, I can change at any time with a pro-rated reduction; 8) I cancelled my AAA auto renewal and will never use them again. Don't get caught in the AAA-renewal rut out of habit as I did; there are other strong alternatives that won't take advantage of a life change.

Great teamwork.. * Thank you to the wonderful and proactive manager Alice.Hats off to the methodical and kind Jim who got me in and out in less than five minutes.The accommodation and respect I got from Melvin was so warm and off the charts regarding my specific situation being a military veteran and leaving for an overseas assignment in a few hours * The line was seven deep as the door opened at 9 AM and three different AAA employees including Alice greeted us all with smiles and walked us to different counters depending on our appointment or service needed * This Garden City location is a half a mile south of Old Country Road on the south west corner of Franklin Avenue and 12th St. The entrance is from the rear. Panera Bread is next door. There are loads of parking spaces. AAA grade to this AAA Garden City office!

Without her, I'm not sure if we would ever go on a honeymoon; the process of finding hotels and flights, plus transportation in between said hotels and flights, is massively daunting. Fern took care of 100% everything. We know that we'll be having a once in a lifetime experience in a few weeks all because of her attention to detail! Can't wait to add an update soon :)

I really don't think I could have done it without her, even though I've been booking my own travel for years. When the airlines changed our schedules, she handled it beautifully.

I've been a member of Global Discovery Vacations for nearly 30 years. The first several years it…read morewas wonderful and I upgraded a few times. The past 5-7 years it's gotten worse and worse. We upgraded to the VIP Membership about 2 years ago because we were seeing having problems getting good condos and they were not as abundant as they once were. We are at the highest level membership with Global that you can get. After upgrading to the VIP Membership and thousands of dollars later we feel we were lied to and manipulated into upgrading. My advice to anyone considering buying into Global Discovery Vacations...DON'T!!! It has become a rip off and you will NOT get anything close to what you will be promised. The VIP Membership is a total farce, we are not seeing any decent places (less options than previously had and the accommodations are much worse, if you can even get a place). Avoid joining Global Discovery Vacations, it has now become a rip off!!!!!!

This "vacation club" in short is 200% a bait and switch. Every upgrade is a bout 4K, if you don't…read moredo the upgrade you get less options to choose from every year and you get places that are 30 yrs outdated. So disappointing. Zero customer service.

BEWARE - In my opinion FreeGate Tourism Travel Agency is a totally disreputable company! Do your…read morehomework before selecting a professional travel agency. Only deal with travel agencies that are USTOA Members. FreeGate is not listed as a current USTOA Member, although, certain websites list FreeGate's affiliation to USTOA. My family & I found out the hard way. We decided to use FreeGate Tourism Travel Agency because we were not familiar with all the nuances relating to international travel, and counted on its expertise to plan our vacation. Our family vacation was utterly destroyed because of this company's ignorance regarding passport regulations. FreeGate Tourism unconscionably neglected to verbally communicate (either in person or over the phone) the existence of a 6-month passport rule when travelling to certain destinations out of the country. Due to FreeGate Tourism's blatant failure to verbally advise us of such vital information, two family members were stranded at the airport unable to board the flight, even though they possessed valid passports that would not expire for two months. To add insult to injury, FreeGate Tourism refused to take any responsibility for its reprehensible actions. When questioned about the 6-month passport regulation, we were directed to a general disclaimer, which was sent as an attachment, via e-mail, but never opened or viewed. This veiled attempt to disclose imperative travel information is disgraceful. Shame on FreeGate Tourism for its shoddy and unprofessional business practices! Due to FreeGate's slack communication policy two of my family members were denied the beauty of the Galapagos Islands, a once in a lifetime trip, with no compensation or refund for their expenses.
