American Travel Planners

Serious scam! They claim to refund you their commission on cruises and other travel plans, but refuse to do so when you travel with them. Plus we were almost unable to go on our cruise after it was paid because the inept agents forgot to get us the required special Turkish visa. RUN AWAY…

Serious scam!!!
They used to be Sea to Ski and they are a bunch of crooks. I hope the AG puts them behind bars.

American Travel Planners is the recently adopted name/​continuation business of Sea to Ski Vacations based out of Broomfield, CO. Because Sea to Ski Vacations is under a temporary injunction forbidding it to solicit new business in CO, it has conveniently switched its name and incorporated in Washington DC to allow it to continue to engage in deceptive, unscrupulous, and predatory practices in CO and/​or elsewhere.
American Travel Planners is owned by the Wunder family: the elders, Andrew and Stephen, son, Andrew, and Andrew’s wife Bethany.
To read more about this family and CO’s legal position against the Wunders, go Courthouse news service:

A few details from this report:
«The Wunder family, which runs Sea to Ski Vacations, bilks consumers for up to $ 10,000 a pop, charging outlandish fees for «exclusive» vacation deals that are not exclusive at all, Colorado’s attorney general claims in court. Attorney General John Suthers sued Sea to Ski Vacations, Traditions Travel Group, and four members of the Wunder family — Andrew, Stephen, Christian and Bethany — in Denver County Court.

«Despite denying participation in distributor presentations, defendants Andrew Wunder and Stephen Wunder travel throughout the country to sell membership at the distributor presentations, and sell memberships themselves out of the Broomfield address through Traditions Travel,» the complaint states. «At these presentations, defendants sometimes use aliases: Andrew Wunder as ‘Mark Dutell’ and Stephen Wunder acts as ‘Stephen Andrews’ or ‘Andrew Stephens.‘

The article states:
«Tradewinds Vacations has terminated distributor Sea to Ski (STS), for misleading sales presentations and misrepresenting the Tradewinds product… Tradewinds Vacations in no way supports or endorses STS or other dishonest companies.»
Avoid American Travel Planners and all future iterations of Wunder family businesses.
But, if you are still enticed by their promises/​lies, do yourself a favor: go the their website and examine their instant deals or others accommodation specials. If the dates interest you, use the information provided by American Travel Planners and contact the resort directly and ask them to match the price.
If you see positive Unilocal reviews expect them to be planted by Wunder friends or Wunders themselves. Owner Andrew has posted positively in the persona of Mark Dutell. Family members go by different aliases.
Finally, in two different legal proceedings I have been a part of concerning the Wunder family, Andrew Wunder has refused to appear in court. The first time he sent his son and most recently he has sent his wife. Draw your own inferences.

We are suckers. Spent $ 7000 to join because my husband flies a lot and we were promised rebates on flights. Turns out they have to be first class or business class, and the tiny print on the contract even says «no individual flight discounts». Not a money saver for us, and of course, the salesman NEVER MENTIONED that bit. Don’t fall for it! OH, and those hotel discounts? Found the exact same «discount» price for the hotel on the hotel’s home website. PLEASE don’t make the same mistake we did… save your money.
