Spot Reservation

SCAM ALERT! I booked a video game truck birthday party for my son’s 9^th birthday. I paid the full amount in advance and received a confirmation. I thought I was doing business with the actually vendor but was somehow directed to Rush Cube who is apparently a 3^rd party. They did not disclose that to me upfront. They also have hidden fees in the price in which the do not tell you. I contacted the vendor directly and they change $ 125 less than what I paid through Rush Cube. I called Rush Cube right away and they so far have not done anything to make this right. I am contacting bank and attorney generals office. I agree with previous poster… Upon my own research I also have concluded that… RushCube is a subsidiary of Spot Reservation. Buyer beware! This is a total scam!

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM.
1) Spot Reservations does not provide the actual service. Spot builds BS websites to get the top Google search spot, and uses other shady marketing tactics to sell operators and upcharge the customer $ 250-​$ 350+. You are better off using google to find a few reputable independent operators yourself.
2) Due to Spot’s poor reviews everywhere, they must use SUBSIDIARIES AND ALIASES to continue to operate. I unfortunately fell scam to RUSHCUBE, one of their multiple «subsidiaries.»
3) Spot cares ZERO for their customers once you actually pay them. Their salespeople will make fake promises to make that sale. That is why they make you sign a «NON-​REFUNDABLE» contract that is good for 2 years, a contract which is useless since your service will likely never be rendered and put in a continuous cycle of cancellations.
I had purchased a $ 725 hot air balloon ride for 2 for the purpose of an engagement, after the over-​zealous salesperson assured me a one month window would be «more than adequate.» She couldn’t be more wrong. After 4 cancellations over several weeks, despite PERFECT WEATHER verified by
, I had to make my engagement proposal via other means. When I explained the situation to RUSHCUBE CUSTOMER SERVICE, they told me their «General Manager» had denied any refunds despite the service never being provided in the timeframe promised. After I wasted a lot of time going back and forth in a situation that didn’t go anywhere, I resorted to disputing my charge through my credit card company.
In summary, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I wish I had done 10 minutes of research to avoid being scammed.

Awesome Experience Love this Company

DO NOT use these people. I was out of 221.00 for what I thought was a deposit for a game truck for my son birthday party. Make sure you read the reviews before dealing with this company. I tired to call the company in regards to my situation and the number given on the receipt had been disconnected. My signature was forged on a receipt that had a date of 12/​13/​1969. UNREAL. Consumers please stay away from of this company.

I bought this for someone in October. Unfortunately, neither I or the person I bought it for were able to use it for a few different reasons. They had nothing available within fifty miles to do the flight. First thing I did was contact customer service. THE WORST THING TO DO WITH THIS COMPANY. They were able to do nothing in order to try to book reservation. So I asked for a refund. They said a refund was unavailable. I have called over 50 times (and have the statements to prove it) and only twice was I able to speak to a manager. Managers and supervisors have only returned my phone call once in the fifty times that I have asked for one. They called me to tell me that a refund would be issued in March. I tried to call back to confirm the address it was being sent to, as I have moved since purchase and the person that answered advised I was not being issued a refund. No one that works there knows what the other is doing i.e. I called once and asked for «Shontell» (supposed supervisor) and the person thought they put me on hold and asked a coworker if the person still worked there. No notes were placed on any of the calls that I made. The most unprofessional customer service I have ever dealt with. Finally, the last time I called they said a refund was available to me. It is now June and they finally gave me a refund. Now the check they send me has no funds!!! Needless to say, I am so disgusted with the lack of professionalism and customer service that I am going to advise in any form I can to anyone that will listen to not do business with this company.

DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. I write this so if you decide not to read further, you get the idea. I guess this should teach everyone to check out Unilocal before using a company. Had I read the horrible reviews I would have found another avenue to set this up. My daughter wanted to go skydiving for her 18^th birthday, so we looked up local places that could happen and called the «800» number. We were directed to Rush Cube which is a subsidiary of Spot Reservation. After the most aggravating and confusing intake of information, we were told the reservations were made and we would get a confirmation within 24 hours. 48 hours later, no confirmation and since we had to pre-​pay the $ 400 for the skydiving, I called to find out what was going on. I was put off again saying to give them another 24 hours. That came and went and again I was on the phone. Finally 5 days later confirmation came, set up for the wrong date. So I get on the phone to correct the error. This time they were very nice, corrected it and said they would send an updated confirmation, which they did. AGAIN. wrong date. so again I called back. I now figured out they were an agency and not the actual company that would be doing the flying, so I found a direct phone number and called them. They apologized and said that they had been having issues, but would take care of it. made the changes, notified Rush Cube and then called me back to let me know we were set and all paperwork was back in order. About 2 hours later I got a new confirmation with all the correct information. So I figured the issues were done…
UNTIL today, the day before the flight, we get a call from the skydiving company asking where we were. Um. I have a confirmation for Saturday (tomorrow) It seems AFTER it was all fixed Rush Cube sent them another older confirmation with the incorrect date and the skydiving company thought we had changed our minds and had us set up to go today.
Very upset I called the local company and was told what happened, and that now they were completely booked for tomorrow. Ok, not going to accept that, I paid, I have a confirmation in hand, and we will be there and we will go up. After giving the person on the phone a pretty hard time, she recanted, and said she would adjust the schedule so they could fit us in.
I have NEVER been more irate with a company than I am right this moment, and they should not be getting commission or whatever revenue stream they use, because they did NOT do their job, and had I not been checking so closely, we would have arrived there thinking all was good to go and be sitting on the runway watching others.
I thought I would call Spot Reservation aka Rush Cube and give them a piece of my mind, but with my luck they would change the reservation again on me. So I end with this. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE, YOU CAN BOOK DIRECT WITH THE CARRIER, DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND GET THE DIRECT PHONE NUMBER, THESE PEOPLE DO NOT DESERVE ONE RED CENT OF YOUR MONEY.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. We purchased a hot air balloon ride for our anniversary in January 2014 — we have yet to enjoy the ride — paid $ 700 up front and the company says they wont refund the money despite several requests. They only want to take your money.

Worst company EVER!!! My fiancé has been dealing with them for over a YEAR now and we still haven’t been able to use our reservation with them. We purchased a private hot air balloon ride and was told that the person in charge of the balloon had a stroke or heart attack the first time, the second time we called we were told it was a car accident and the person died-​to this day we still get told something different. Finally after a year we are told that we can drive 3 HOURS to get the private ride OR we can do a shared one in the city we live in. That would be acceptable had they offered to credit us the 300 dollars back that was paid to do a private ride since we would be doing a share ride and it’s cheaper, but if we wanted to do a private ride in the same city we live in we would have to pay 400 bucks more. How hard is it to refund someone there 300 bucks when you didn’t hold up to your end of the contract? I hate to sound harsh but it’s not OUR fault that someone on your end wasn’t able to fulfill the contract that you put out. I would never recommend this company-​all their out to do is take people’s money and not be fair to their customers.
And by the way-​you only received one stay because I had to, not because you deserve it

How this company is in business is what I would like to know. A flying certificate was purchased for me as a special gift. Not being familiar with this company I looked it up and I just couldnt believe my girlfriend fell into this trap. I have called 10 times, 10 days in a row to use my certificate. I keep being offered a flight some 2+ hours away from my home when there is an airport 5 minutes from me! The gift was purchased with the intention of it being used at the local airport… which by the way I could go to right now and get a 30 minute flight for half the price. Every time I call a lady named Christina gives me the same story and when I request a refund I am told no refunds. HHHHOOORRRIIBBBLLLEEE! People pay their hard earned money to be able to have a great experience and these crooks ruin it. They should be shut down and PLEASE do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all cost!

Avoid these guys at all cost. They wreak havoc on me and my fellow franchisees (can I say the name here?). When they talk to a potential customer (who often finds them through a google search) they imply that they are us. They book parties knowing that a spot is taken but don’t tell the customer, they up charge significantly from what we charge (again the customer thinks they’re talking to the actual operator) and often they ‘ll book a slot then cancel it on us at the last minute leaving us with a slot we could have sold. True story: I called them once to ‘mystery shop’ them after a customer called me to complain that she’d been charged double. I asked her what the charge was and it was $ 200 more than what we charge. I kind of freaked out, investigated, couldn’t find her charge on our batch reports, called back and asked what the name was. It was spot reservations. I called them pretending to be a customer from my wifes phone. The agent pretended he was our business, I gave him a date and time that I knew wouldn’t work, he put me on hold and my business line rang. Said he wanted to book a party on X date at X time. I told him it was taken, he thanked me hung up and then got back on the line with me on the other phone. Told me that we were all set and wanted a credit card number to pay. At that point I told him I was only shopping and wasn’t ready to commit and hung up. Honestly the balls on these guys. Telling a customer that they’re good to go when there’s not a chance we can show up. We maintain a forum on our companies website for franchisees to discuss issues freely and these guys come up all the time. Please, please, please do not use them. They’ll charge you far more than what you would need to pay and then there’s a good chance that the service you ordered will never show up.

Worst service I have ever had. Whatever you do don’t book something with them. Find somewhere/​anywhere else.
They booked a skydiving trip for me at a time that was not available (and they knew it). I had to call back 33 times and was completely ignored each time. Not until the actual owner of one of their customers called to complain did they even acknowledge me or consider giving any money back. Hours of my life wasted.

This company is a scam!!! They have gone several different names using the same address. They will book your reservation wrong or for something that doesn’t exist, then refuse to return your money. It took 25 phone calls, a private investigator, and an attorney before they returned my money. Check with the BBB!!!

Worst Service ever
I had booked my Sky Diving reservation on 30-​Aug-​2014 over the phone.
While booking the reservation, I had specifically stated that I want the reservation to be done in LA as I don’t have a personal vehicle to commute.
But even after my instructions, I was given a reservation at other places and that too twice.
I called customer care as to inquire what was going on and they said that they don’t have any spots in LA, and I could cancel my reservation if I want too.
My question is shouldn’t representative who was booking my reservation, cancelled it straight away as he did not see any spot at the time he was doing my reservation?
Eventually I had to cancel the reservation and since then I am looking for refund of my hard earned money. Amount I have paid for Sky diving is $ 246.5 and for Video recording is $ 108.75.
I have called customer care number, 18 605 814 466, almost 50 times, and have spoken to various customer care representatives and also to the manager once.
Each time I am given the same response that manager would get back to me, which he eventually does not except once.
I understand that I had signed the waiver form for amount not being refundable but I did not expect that reservation would not be done in LA and I have to face such sort of trauma to get the amount refunded.
I think what is happened here is not ethical at all and service offered by these guys did not match my expectations at all.
I reinstate that I have been pursuing this for past two months now with much of patience and I guess I have to wait for ages on this as I still haven’t received my refund.
Opened a support ticket 4 days back but haven’t received any response for that too.
I would not recommend any one to go for there service.

After the terrible review I left before, I have to update, because the company finally made right. About a week or so after they failed to show up for our son’s birthday party and provided no explanation whatsoever, a woman from Spot Reservation reached out to my wife and couldn’t have been more apologetic. She couldn’t believe the way the situation was handled, and wanted to fix it. She arranged for the game bus to come to our house for two hours this past Sunday, with Spot Reservation footing the bill. I wish I had caught her name, because she was great, and they finally gave our boys the party they deserved.
When all is said and done it was finally handled right, which I do appreciate, but I wish it would have been right the first time. Big thanks to the woman who finally did help us out, but proceed with caution.
