$39 for Round trip & Air for 2 and 2 nights lodging in Las Vegas or Orlando via Socialbuy.com

Seems too good to be true. Very tempting, I really want to believe it is legit.

Quote from one3six : http://www.socialbuy.com/san-jose...08-02-2011 Is this legit? What is that $65 deposit for?

Seems like this should be in deal discussion if the OP isn't even sure about the deal/details... ... ...

Why post in Hot Deals and immediately ask if the deal is legit?

has anyone bought from socialbuy before?

there's so many groupon-type sites nowadays

Please add "From San Jose" to the title

Hmmm. . I smell timeshare and few airports to leave from. Tell me I am wrong?

I'm kind of weary about this deal. I bought a similar deal to Vegas before from actual vendors selling during a UC event (college event). The package I received had hidden charges that increased the total expense for the package. Mine had black out dates too.

My experience - I purchased the package...found out all the details by calling, etc. And then they mail you another package where you can find more restrictions. Overall, It was more expensive with the package then booking everything on my own. =[

So I threw away the package, what a rip off.

This deal is too good to be true...and with the travel deal that you mentioned...it probably is.

I'm from CA - do you think the flight tickets and hotel will cost under $100 to Orlando?

$39 deal? Probably has massive restrictions and hidden fees.

nice find, repped.

Looks like $365 on top of the $39 at the very least.

damn, time to call amex up. if you change location from san jose to los angeles, it will be the same deal

Quote from itlynstalyn : Looks like $365 on top of the $39 at the very least.

How'd you figure that?

I figured at least $364, counting the $39. Are you including the $65 deposit at booking?

If that's a deposit, it might be a deposit on the rest of the $324+ ($150x2+$12 room tax/night x2). Of course, that's just a minimum.

Their website SUCKS. They have dead links all over, especially for "Click for full terms."

and there's inadequate info regarding the airport. What does "selected international airport" mean, anyway. Of course it's "selected," but selected by who?


Looks, sounds, and smells like a rip-off.

Edit to add: Just delete this stupid thread and quit wasting people's time having to research this dead-end, non-deal.

This is a misleading marketing trick. Ive already spoken to someone at the travel agency and this is what he told me.

$39 for a voucher, which allows you to book a trip for 2 to Vegas. This voucher included 2 nights stay and airfare. You MUST book 90 days in advance but subject to availability. Meaning, you might not get the hotel and DATES that you request.

$65 deposit is required
$250-$400 in taxes and fees.

So your total can easily come to $400-$500. If you live in California like me, you can fly R/T for $120 or $240 for 2, plus get cheap '3-4 star' rooms on the strip for $60 a night. Plus id get to choose the hotel and the dates.

I posted before that I have used this company. We went to Orlando and the total was about $225 all together. I found them to be great. It wasn't a direct flight, but the price was right!
