I want First Choice Discount....

We are looking to book our Honeymoon to the Maldives through First Choice. Does anyone know of any cash back sites or promotional codes we can use to bring the price down? Many Thanks Richie.

Just go in and hammer the price down as much as possible. Martin has posted how to get travel agents to drop prices in the past so just follow his tips. get a price from 1 agent and play them off against others.

I would also hold off telling them its a honeymoon and if you are stuck to firstchoice becasue you have vouchers don't tell them you have the vouchers to use to pay for the holiday. they will know you will buy from them regardless so will be less likley to move on the price.

Thanks. Its over the internet we were going to do it..would ringing them work out cheaper then??

Yes, you can't negotiate with a web page. even better to actually go to a shop. First Choice have a bunch of shops includeing holiday hypermarket, they will get huge commision rates from selling their own stuff so will be able to really eat in to the price. but always be prepared to walk away if they dont match any of your other quoted prices I recon you will get the same holiday cheaper from an independant travel agent, as they will sell anyone available opposed to pushing the stuff they get more comision from like selling BA flights if they are cheaper becasue BA dont pay any commision to travel agents.

Why Last Choice - ok if things work out, but an absolute nightmare if they don't (customer "service" a joke, brush up on small-claims court before you book)...

Hopefully you're only going to do this once - LJ's advice sounds sensible to me.
