Travel Scams FAQ
I received a vacation certificate in the mail. How can I figure out if it's legitimate?
First, review the tips at the beginning of this section. Then, if you find any of the following on a travel certificate, send it to the recycling bin:
- Words such as Certificate of Guarantee and a spread-winged eagle or other prominent symbol designed to convey a sense of legitimacy.
- A variety of possible vacation destinations, with no designated dates or price.
- Exciting descriptions of what you will do, such as "gala cruise," "glittering casino action," "moonlight dancing" or "resort accommodations" with no designated company names.
- A phrase in the fine print indicating you were chosen "using credit and purchasing criteria to select individuals interested in the many benefits of travel."
- Fine print stating that the receipt of one portion of the offer (for example, the airline ticket) is dependent on purchase of something else (such as hotel accommodations).
