Planning a Vacation?
Be sure you get what you pay for.
- Be wary of "bargain" vacation offers on postcards and certificates. Hidden charges can add up.
- Adopt a "no-surprise" travel policy. Get the total cost in writing and know what it includes before you pay.
- Walk away from high-pressure sales pitches that don't give you time to think or plan.
- Give bank or credit card information only to businesses you know and trust. Never give unsolicited callers your bank account or credit card number, and never send money by overnight express.
