KGBDeals.com - Airfare + 2-Night Hotel Stay for 2 in Vegas or Orlando - $99

fraud company "nextstage promo"

Anyone else care to comment on this deal? It does sound too good to be true because they would actually lose money on this.

KGB is legit site...and this deal seems to good to be true. Whats the catch... anyone know why nextstage has a bad rep?

i argee, we need some more input please. this is one hell of a deal if its legit

btw:
"Does not include additional airline fees like baggage, seating, tax, etc. which incur additional fees up to $150 per person"

"Customer responsible for any airline charges exceeding $500"

stay away from this company/deal. 2 things I have learned on SD.

If a company with no reputation post a deal that is too good to be true, STAY AWAY
Read the fine print of the "too good to be true" deal.

Quote from ranova : btw: "Does not include additional airline fees like baggage, seating, tax, etc. which incur additional fees up to $150 per person" "Customer responsible for any airline charges exceeding $500"

sounds like a catch

although even at the max of 150x2+99=399
399 hotel and airfare, still sounds like a good deal

edit: didnt see that part about 500

I think the catch is that if you are single occupancy then it works. If you are traveling with other people, it does not work. The voucher is for 1 airline ticket and though you can purchase multiples as gifts, you can only use one voucher per household. So sure you get one ticket at the voucher price but whatever other airline tickets you purchase for your travel companion(s), will be ridiculously overpriced. And then if you purchase two vouchers using different addresses, good luck being on the same flight and/or itinerary as you would have to book serperately.

"We bought the $49 Vegas deal from Buy With Me a few weeks back. We are having the exact same experience as Fred456.

In the Buy With Me deal, it was clear from the beginning that we would pay a $65 processing fee and that we would be responsible for taxes up to $150 per person. It still seemed worth a shot.

We paid the processing fee to Next Stage Travel, then got our certificate by email. This funny little line was included in the email: "Any variations on rules is up to the redeeming travel agency." So, at this point, Next Stage Travel has absolved themselves of any new charges that may be introduced.

The certificate is redeemed through Hotelandairpromotion.com. And the new catch is that we will be responsible for flight costs over $250 per person. And guess what? No matter what days we try to book this trip, the flight is well over $250 per person: $451.18 to be exact.

So, when you add up the Buy With Me deal, $65 processing fee, $400 in extra flight charges, and $300 in taxes, you will have paid over $800 for two nights at the Stratosphere.

I compared the same travel dates and hotel to Funjet. I can book the same trip for $650 through them.

I kept all documentation and copied the terms from their web site. I have disputed the charges for both the Buy With Me deal and the $65 processing fee with my credit card company. I will fight this tooth and nail since the >$250 flight charges were a surprise introduced later in the process.

I thought since I was buying this through one of the well-known social coupon sites that the company would have been properly checked for possibility of a scam. This now gives me a much lower opinion of Buy With Me. I've seen other vacation deals with Living Social that were interesting. I'm not so sure I would buy one of those either now.

Good luck! "
