I always throw those straight in the recycle bin. They sound extremely sketchy.

It’s a scam, we get one everyday, I think you do better booking it on your own.
Answer by CharliePhxAZ
for the most part they are a scam – only deal with a reputable travel agency or book travel yourself on the internet

Rip off….You may get a Jamacain that won’t include airfare.
Answer by Amy
They are timeshare deals. You still have to pay for your airfare to get there. The question to ask is, Is your vacation worth a 2 hour+ hassling to buy a room at the same resort that you are at? Are you going back? They say you can trade it with other resorts, but it is somewhat difficult to do with having a specific week at one resort compared with buying points you can use.
If the promo is for somewhere in the US go for it, if you don’t mind losing the time on your vacation, but if it is in Mexico be careful, the timeshare people are really nasty down there and they don’t take lightly to people who say NO.
You normally get a discount for the room, but is it worth it?

We get some of these every day. Today’s example: 4 days/3 nights Bahamas cruise, 3 days/2 nights in Daytona Beach PLUS 5 days/4 nights in Orlando w/2 tickets to theme park of your choice. ALL of this for $ 99. Every reservation also receives 3 days/2 nights resort accommodations in your choice of Puerto Valllarta, Las Vegas or Hawaii. Round trip airfare for 2 included. I’ve always been curious about these. Are they scams?

I’ve wondered about this too…THIS vacation I could afford! But I”m not willing to LOSE that money to try it since it seems too good to be true. I just throw them away.
Answer by Gurly girl
My mom took one. While the vacation was cheap, they charged for everything else. Like transportation, like fees for this and that. Like for meals.
So, the “free” vacation she thought she was taking ended up costing her 0.
