What’s the “catch”?
There isn’t one really, except the person has to pay an admin
fee and room taxes that total less than $50. They have to be
21. And naturally they will ask you to pay more if you try to
book during a holiday (when hotels can command a premium price).
HOW????
Hotels do this to fill rooms during off times. Knowing people
will extend longer their trips, eat in hotels, shop in gift shops
and tip employees (plus the travel agent is gonna try to get
them to book airfare)
Overall, it’s not a bad deal considering the destinations are
great cities, and it’s a FREE HOTEL STAY! If you are like me
and live close to a city (we are in florida)
they work really well because people just drive to their getaway.
The travel agency fulfilling the certificates is a member of
their Better Business Bureau and Chamber of Commerce in California.
I have used these as premiums for years.
If these are going to be prizes, you can always offer to give
a certificate, or cash bonus to compensate for the taxes they
must pay. (it is illegal in most places to pay the “taxes”
for a gift to someone)
Here is an excerpt of the disclaimer that comes on each ticket.
This certificate is redeemable for a reservation form, offering
you and a guest deluxe hotel accommodations. Your cost is just
a $15 processing, postage and handling fee (paid with this
certificate) and hotel room taxes of between $7 and $12 per
night, depending on the city selected. The room tax is due
when you send in the reservation form you will receive in the
mail to book your rooms. No other purchase is required. This
offer is not connected with any timeshare presentation or sales
pitch of any kind. Reservations must be taken within 1 year.
Reservations must be booked at least 60 days in advance. Ages
21 and older. Dates near holidays and during conventions are
usually not available on this special offer. Transportation,
meals and room taxes are not included. Holidays, weekends and
travel within 60 days require a small surcharge. Not valid
