Reserve America magazine scam

I have never had an issue with RA and I use it frequently. I do read all the fine print and review the checked boxes though. It has worked well for me.

I am not impressed with RA. I made reservations for a campground on the 4th of July. When we showed up (well before 1 pm) we found our site had been given away. We tried to get a refund and never got any satisfaction. About 2 monthes after sending requests or refund we got a letter saying they had reviewed the request and decided against a refund. I will NEVER use RA again. 3 days of site fees and reservation fees for a site we could not use. (We had to go to and pay for another site several miles away).

It's not a scam if YOU forgot to read the entire webpage and uncheck the appropriate boxes. Take some responsibility. If you read the fine print on the web page you gave them permission by not unchecking.

I guess you missed my RA scam post about a month ago. Call them and get it taken off. Also contact the attorney general for your state. The only way we can defeat these bottom feeders is to bring to the light of day, as they are much like vampires and don't do well in the light. Good luck.


BTW don't listen to the ones who will be here shortly saying its your own fault for not reading and understanding everything on the web page, as they will be the same ones who will be here crying and whining when it happens to them.

Debit cards do not afford the same protection as credit/charge cards do. I rarely use debits for just that reason.
What did Reserve America say when you talked to them?

I believe there is a box that must be unchecked at some point in the reservation process that will get you if you do not read carefully. Interesting that I have not seen it in a long time when I make reservations on RA so I am not sure if it is user specific or ran during certain time frames. Dispute the charge with your CC company and file a complaint with the appropriate agencies.
