“SCAM! Group claiming to be ARDA. Said to come for appointment at a reputable hotel for 60-90 minute presentation and get 2 airline tickets for 2 days at a hotel ($980 or $1,000 to use on both of my choices - depending upon who you talk to), and $100 food voucher. Presentation was a high pressure sale for couples OR one single person per session was allowed. Travel membership ranging from 10,995 to 17,995 then discounted to $6,995 then $6,495. Also, a $499 processing fee and $399 annual fee. I said no and wanted my “free” vouchers. I initially was told to check my email later. I said no I will be waiting to see if the vouchers get sent. No All that was given was an “opportunity” to pay $50 for activation, $199 per person (limit 2)”. No food voucher was sent. The email link via “thankyouincentives.com” wanted my personal information and credit card number. The guy said it would be “held” on file until I used the hotel and flights because taxes would be due and the price is unknown especially if I would happen to choose an expensive place, he specifically said, “You know, like the Ritz in California would be a lot of taxes for you to pay.” I said, “Ooohhh, thaaaat is sooo interesting!” He said, “Yea, they (not WE) give you lots of options.” I laughed and walked away with ALL of my money, the hotel pen I used, and a $0.23 bottle of water. I do feel really bad for the 2 couples who actually purchased travel memberships.”
“The cost is about nothing free. $199 per person for fees and taxes plus an additional $50 processing fee. $450 later. I can get a hotel for less per night and grab a decent airfare on my own. Don’t be fooled. Restricted fly dates, restricted during in season. Avoid Travelclubgift.com they want $7k to save on deals, but it doesn’t become a savings until you recoup the first $7k plus all the fees and taxes.”
“What you see is not what you get. Sat through a 90 minute presentation and you will receive hotel and airline tickets. That is after you pay a one time $50 activation fee and then $200 pp for processing and taxes. . You don't know about these fees until you go to activate the certificate.....”
“Big Time Liars! Told me on the phone that they weren't selling anything. Get there and they want $11000+ to join their travel membership. Give me certificate for $100 dinners. SCAM - Very few restaurants available. You have to pay $10 to get your certificate for half off. Free airlines and hotels? Another SCAM! Have to pay $50 to activate and pay hotel and airlines fees of $198 per person.”
“Rewardsandincentives.com - is a scam. They advertise a free 7 day getaway, but want to charge you over $300 to go... am fighting to get my activation fee refunded...”
“Rewards and incentives is a scam.
They take your money and never follow thru. After submitting requests for both airfare and hotel and paying the "administration fees" was advised that they had no inventory. After 5 months, I heard from them, they offered to make it up to me if I would se d them another 398.00 dollars. Bad news!”
