The title says it all.
Reservation Rewards is a website that has ties with orbitz.com, the travel website. After you order a flight or whatever else, a button shows up on the confirmation page that says you can save $20 on your next travel booking with orbitz if you join Reservation Rewards. They’ll also be so kind as to give you a $10 off coupon every month just for being a lovely and faithful member.
That all sounds swell so far right???
It’s really not swell at all though. Mind if I tell you why??? Of course you don’t!
Here’s what they do.
It’s actually quite sneaky.
If you agree to sign up with Reservation Rewards, they get passed your credit card and address information that you used to book your flight, rental car, cruise, or hotel on Orbitz. Then they charge you $12 a month and offer you tons of stuff that you’ll never use.
You won’t know you’re getting charged unless you actually read the terms of service. And who reads those things these days? It’s usually just words saying you won’t use their site or product for naughtiness. Rarely does it say they will take your personal information from a source you trust and use it for the rape and pillagement of your hard earned funds!
“But what about the $10 off?” you ask. I doubt people are booking something every month to the point where that $10 comes in handy monthly. Also, since Reservation Rewards is charging you $12 to give you $10, why not put that $12 to use on your travel plans???
Doing a google search for Reservation Rewards or Reservation Rewards scam and you’ll see the multitudes of extremely displeased customers that went so far as to post their tales of woe online.
In summation or conclusion or the end, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using orbitz.com. I used them for the two trips that I have coming up. But, I do have a problem with scams. And it you do happen to come across this scam from Reservation Rewards or any other scam that sucks and makes people sad, confused, and scared of the internet, I suggest you run and hide. Or you could search and destroy the evil company that promotes such unrighteous tactics in order to get money.
That’s what I’d do. But don’t listen to me. I’m evil.
