BUYER BEWARE. Brides, please do NOT use Fly Free America vouchers! They
aren't following the rules but are lying to you about where your money
is going. I want everyone to read this because I haven't seen anyone who
actually understands that this IS a fake prize! Of course it's a legit
travel company, but NOTHING is a prize. You are paying for everything (airfare included),
and more money, might I add. It's a legitimate travel company, but the 2 tix are a scam! Why? Because the prices
include airfare! You aren't getting anything for free- you didn't win
anything! It's not just that you have to book 7 nights and have
expensive hotels- that's not the point. They're NOT up front about the
price tag. Your price INCLUDES AIRFARE. You didn't get the tickets for
free or for $99. You're paying for them secretly. If you're going to do
that, you might as well book somewhere less expensive because airfare is
not paid for. You can find a cheaper travel agency to go through with
ALL INCLUSIVE HOTELS, which is what I am NOW doing and finding that it
is much cheaper. Don't waste your time! Read the email below where they
actually explain that it's not a prize. This is MY story..
Several months ago I went to a bridal show and won the "grand prize"
that they give out at EVERY show- two free Fly Free America round trip
plane tickets. Of course you find out there are restrictions and you
have to book everything through them, but THAT is not even the worst
part of all of this. Every website that complains has failed to mention
that Fly Free America actually is not giving you anything at all. They
are hiding it in your big price that you end up spending on their dumb
company.
I kept trying to email Fly Free America (which Robert, my wonderful
responder, was not so nice in his emails, telling me to try to find a
better offer if I didn't like theirs). FINALLY, I was told I didn't
actually win anything. All of their prices include the plane tickets so I
didn't actually win anything. Brides all over have been dealing with
this same fake prize, and it's disheartening. I hope the bridal shows
& other companies giving out this "prize" consider changing it, as
fly free America straight up said this to me...
"Dear Allie, I think the confusion is that you think you have won
something. This is a discount travel program. Our prices include
airfare. Shop the market and see who give you the best deal.
Robert Palmiter
Executive Tour and Travel Services". They actually admitted that I didn't win anything!
... So basically the certificate is really not worth anything but is a
travel discount program. Brides are paying $99 activation fee (which
they won't get back and HAVE to book with them or they lose it) to end
up spending more money on their hotels & restrictions when they
could get a better deal elsewhere. They just think they got free plane
tix when they didn't. You end up paying over $2k for a hotel and
included in that price are the imaginary free plane tix when you could
get all inclusive for less than that on a site like vacation express or
all inclusive websites.
I actually thought I had won the "grand prize", but it turns out that
they're just not up front about what they're doing. They include the
plane tickets in that big price tag. Oh, and did I forget to mention
that NONE of their hotels are all inclusive? You're paying up to $3k for
the hotel alone (and like I said, your "free plane tickets").
Seriously, brides & grooms, please research better companies and
throw out that stupid voucher. It's not worth your time or money, and
they're going to make you pay a lot more money when you could be saving
elsewhere!!
