    Cardew,I never claimed that the coupon was free.If you had visited the site I mentioned you would have seen that they were offering a book of vouchers costing around $10 and two of the many money saving vouchers were as I described.WE do have a similar thing over here {or we did a few years ago]whereby you paid around £20 as I recall,and you received a thick book which gave reductions in various restaurants around Britain.Had you used all the vouchers you would have saved hundreds of pounds in restaurant bills but were probably a contender for a heart attack .
    Still $10 to save $3500 can't be bad-even if you won't have time to use all the vouchers.They do say that there are a limited amount of books left,but they would say that.
  • for international flights and internal flights within the usa, try united airlines. ithe last time i went to vegas then florida the internal flights were free. i saved a fortune.

    Tonys,

    I checked it out.

    You buy the vouchers. There are vouchers in there that entitle you to attend a "90 minutes to 2 hour" time-share presentation. After you have survived the hard-sell on the way out you get one voucher per adult that gives you a one day attendance to Disney for $10.

    You could of course get a freebie newspaper that is full of such offers to attend timeshare presentations - you can get vouchers for meals, shows, all sorts of great offers.

    No such thing as a free lunch!!

    Still want the bet?

    Apologies to all of you-Cardew and I seem to be dominating this thread now on a
    minor topic.
    I presume you have spoken to someone on the website Cardew.So I have emailed
    them to get their reply in writing since your claim would mean that they are perhaps misrepresenting their offer.No reply expected for a day or two.

    Bluevinney,I missed your post the first time,but yes they still have consolidators around the world.

    Air brokers international have been recommended to me though I have not had occasion to use them yet.Their number is 001-800-883-3237 they may
    be able to put a better package together for you,once you've sorted out your dates.

    Yes I spoke to them and they confirmed what I said.

    I also contacted someone I know who has an agency selling Attraction tickets and emailed him the link. He was well aware of this time-share scheme - its been going years -and pointed out that the admission prices are well out of date.

    As for "misrepresenting their offer" welcome to the USA! They call it 'creative advertising'.

    I suppose it is no different to one of the UK tabloids who ran a competion stating there were 'thousands of chances to win a Million pounds'. Each prize consisted of a lottery ticket!

    Tonys,
    Did you get a reply about vouchers?
