Avoid InCruises, Do not join at all!!!
Avoid InCruises – Do not join at all!!! I signed up in November 2024, completely without research, for the purpose of traveling. After researching for a while, my suspicions were justified. In fact, when I signed up, I had not read the company's membership agreement and had not familiarized myself with its terms and conditions. I just registered and became a member based on what my friend said. A few days later I looked at the contract and found that the amount I paid was refundable within 14 days, any amount paid after that period was non-refundable. For this reason, I wrote a letter about the cancellation of the membership, I asked that my registration be canceled and the amount I paid be returned. At that time, they asked me to withdraw the application, to continue, it will be fine. I was deceived by something, I made a mistake. After paying for an additional month, I decided not to pay. I wanted to book a domestic hotel using the full amount I paid. However, they did not allow, they said that they could give a discount of 17%. When they asked for my money, they refused to return it citing the membership agreement. We have had many correspondences with the representatives of the company. I asked some questions but didn't get full answers. Here's the process: The company takes real dollars from you, gives you cruise dollars. Without selling any goods or services. They see people as a real product, new members are considered a product for them. After paying, there are no real dollars left in your account. In each case, the main amount and bonus points must be calculated separately and must remain in this form in the personal cabinet. They claim that the company is a membership program that offers exclusive rewards for timely payments. What is a membership program? Most of the people who join it do not join it to join the membership program, they consider it a tourism company and become a member. Booking.com, tripadvisor.com, etc. It is not a company. There are no ads or detailed information on any social network. Despite having pages on social networks, there are few people who like and comment on them. What are their goals in operating in such a secret, unadvertised manner? I believe that for these reasons, the company's activities should be investigated by the relevant institutions of each country and their activities should be assessed. As in Posha. Thus, in Poland, pyramid schemes are prohibited by the law on "Nieuczciwe praktyki rynkowe" (Unfair market practices). If a company's income is derived primarily from membership fees or recruiting new members, rather than from product/service sales, it may be classified as an illegal pyramid scheme. UOKiK's investigation into InCruises is based on this law. As of April 2023, InCruises is not accepting new members in Poland, and while maintaining travel reservations of existing members, payment is on hold. For what reasons do they not accept members? Why were they unable to successfully defend their position in Poland? Once again, I strongly advise everyone to familiarize themselves with the terms and conditions of the contract in detail before becoming a member of this company, do not be deceived!!!
