If It Sounds Too Good To Be True...

We have all heard that expression. And usually what follows is..."usually it is." Travel package deals sometime are in print or come across the television with great deals for $149 or $199 and you think, "I can afford that, let me call them and book now." If you do call, you will find that the deal is not such a deal after all. Sometimes there are hidden fees or timeshare seminars you have to sit through. Usually, there are more fees and add on's that increase the price significantly. Before you know it, you could be out of several hundred dollars and wondering what happened. If you do try to take advantage of the deal that sounds too good to be true, make sure you get all the details in writing BEFORE you commit to giving them your credit card information. If they cannot give you that information up front, they may not be a reputable company that you need to do business with. Also, make sure you find out about the cancellation policy. If you have to cancel at the last minute, will your money be refunded or will they just give you credit to re-book at another time? All this is need to know information before you purchase what they have to offer.
Find out what is included and what is not included in the deal. After your conversation, offer to call them back the next day. If they say the offer is only available while you are on the phone and you have to act now to take advantage of the deal, hang up and call your travel agent. If you do not have one, call me and let's sort through the deal together. 
I remember a few times getting a call saying I had won a cruise for a small amount of money. Each time when the seller came on the phone, I informed them that I was a travel agent. Mysteriously, the phone call was disconnected. Guess they figured I was not the person they could get over on and there was no need talking to me. If it was legitimate, I am sure they would have told me about the offer.
Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, usually, it is!
