TAITAM Technology Vacations - Etobicoke, Ontario

Stanley S.

Received a mailer to attend the 2025 Escape & Save Travel Event. For listening to the 90 min presentation, you receive 2 complimentary round trip airline vouchers, 2 nights at a Marriott, Hilton, or Hyatt, an a bonus of $100 in savings at various restaurants.

Well, the bottom line is they are trying to sell you a membership to use their full service discounted travel agency services. At least, that is what I understood. The cost of the membership started out high (~$15K) but was quickly dropped as they tailored the coverage and duration. It was a hard sell and almost too good to be true. When the price is dropping with each breath you take, you start to wonder why it was so expensive to start. Do you smell fish?

Throughout the presentation they never mentioned the name of the company (Taitum) but I did see it on a paper I signed after the presentation acknowledging that we would be responsible for taxes and fees associated with our "freebies." BTW, the freebies are not so free since there is a processing fee to receive them.

The main presenter got kind of huffy and rude when we turned down his attempts to get us to sign. Comments like, "well, I wish I had your money to pay retail" and then blaming his co-salesmen for not doing a good job were not appreciated nor appropriate.

I won't say it's a scam but the presentation is fast moving and decisions have to be made quickly. My suggestion is walk away and don't even bother with the freebies.

Great presentation but do appreciate the fine print that is given after an hour of my precious time. Please do better in presenting ALL the information about the FREE/Tax gifts that is being promised. ALL THE 1 STAR REVIEWS ON HERE ARE TRUE, NO NEED TO REPEAT, IT IS WELL SAID ON THE 1 STAR REVIEWS.
Good Day Taitam!

**Horrible Review for Taitam Technologies**

I am beyond disappointed with Tatum Technologies, also known as Taitam Allure, for their deceitful practices regarding the so-called "free incentives" for attending their 1.5-hour presentation. They initially lure you in with a letter that makes you believe they are affiliated with reputable brands like Hyatt Place with correspondence containing the Hyatt logo but upon arrival, you realize it's a complete misrepresentation.

The incentives they promised— a $200 dining card, a free 3, 5, or 7-day cruise for two with major cruise lines (only taxes and fees payable), and free airfare for two within the continental US with a 2-night hotel stay— were nothing but a scam. After attending the presentation and declining their overpriced package, we received emails containing links to activate these "free incentives." Each one required a processing fee: $12.95 for the dining card, $49.95 for the cruise, and $50 for the flights.

To make matters worse, the dining card is not even a $200 value. It's limited to $25 per month for the next 8 months—totally misleading with having to spend a minimum. There was no contact number to speak with anyone, further cementing how shady this company is.

This company is completely dishonest and deceptive. At least with timeshare presentations, you get exactly what you were promised as consumer laws ensure that you are compensated for your time. Taitam Technologies’ practices border on fraud, and their false and intentionally deceptive advertising should be against the law. Shame on you for misleading people and wasting their time. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs!

First I just want to say nothing is free. They gave us a free $100 dining credit, which is basically 20 $5 coupons to different restaurants. I can get those in the newspaper. They also gave us a "free" cruise for 2. Just got the info back for registering and "free" went to "as soon as you send us $798 you can book something". Everything they talked about sounded great but they never really fully explained. That being said the night of the presentation we wished we had $13,000 for the package but unfortunately don't. GREAT NEWS, they were willing to give us everything for only $2000, TOTAL. I even gave them my card. Thankfully that gut feeling kicked in and was able to stop the transaction. It just felt they were willing to do or say anything to get anything out of me. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe not. If not all I can say is do not give them full price, you can get them down 80% without even trying.

This organization deserves zero stars! We just wasted almost 2 hours of our lives that we'll never get back. Please, don't respond to the ridiculous offer of free airline tickets and free restaurants. IT'S A SCAM PEOPLE!! They are cheesy, low life people pushing to be your glorified travel agent's for $12k! Plus an annual fee! If something sounds too good to be true, guess what? It usually is. Sit this one out, wish we had. Any good reviews you read on here? I guarantee is fake.

Our decision to travel had already been made. That’s why we went. Zane offered me a choice on how to better spend the money I was already spending anyway. If I’m going to spend it anyway, I’d much rather get more for my dollar. Right?!?

Giving 3 stars is just to be fair. For those who truly vacation A LOT it may be worth it. Otherwise - walk away. You don't need the trinkets that you may receive from watching the presentation. It is an excellent presentation for sure, but the math does not work out for the average person.

Worked with Jane in their corporate office. She is excellent, fast response and very professional. Unfortunately, Jane did not discuss that I would have to pay an annual fee of $477! Also, I've found out that points are basically worthless. To use points they discount the full price (not the member discounted price) so you would need about 32,000 points to just break even on the member discount price. To get a free cruise like they claim in the sales meeting you would need about 180,000 points (40 cruises) for a decent ocean view balcony room. Unless you are going to take at least 2-3 cruises a year it's not worth joining.
