SCAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEWARE !!!
Idiot me purchases 2 packages for Vegas or Orland for 3 days/2 nights including travel and my boyfriend purchased one as well. It has been 3 months that i have been trying to redeem this offer and i am getting nowhere. I sent numberous emails, ive called, ive been on the live chat, i even contacted one of their representatives i saw on this forum. At first the Rep seemed helpful, but after 6 weeks i am still sitting with nothing after i had been told for weeks "oh it will be 5 days, oh it will be 10 days, oh it will be tomorrow and you'll receive your itenerary". I have never dealt with a more incomputent, unprofessional and ruthless company.
I have contacted the company i purchased my packages from originally "No More Rack.com" to notify them of this SCAM and i am in the process of contacting the Better Business Bureau.
This company should be ashamed of themselves for scamming hard working people who purchased packages from their company and they are not fullfilling their obligations.
Everyone BEWARE, DONT purchase anything from Next Stage Travel/Promotions !!!

This company SUCKS !!! BEWARE SCAM
What would make us happy would be if you didn't bait and switch, and actually provided what you advertised. A trip for 2, including Air and hotel for $99. NOT $700, but $99. It's real simple, if you can't provide to EVERYONE what you offer, DON'T OFFER IT! I understand tax and baggage fees, but i don't understand higher air fares.
I actually contacted Vernoica personally and at first she was helpful, but it turned into the same BS i had dealt with from the other people are her company, empty promises, not responding to emails, etc. . Its been 3 months that i have been trying to book my package and i am not further then i was 3 months ago. This company should be ashamed of themselves and how they conduct business.... this is NOTHING but a SCAM if you ask me !

Telling that the Next Stage Rep. hasn't bothered to come back on here and either respond or help anyone. KGB Deals should take the blame as well for continuing to advertise this scam. Another idiot daily deals site run by 20-something college dropout morons

Response received yesterday:
So... doing the math... I paid $99... + ($582.33 - $250 credit/person = $332.33 x 2 people = $664.66)... + $150/"fees" per person = $1063.66 total (or $531.83)
In addition... my flight leaves 6:30am and I come back Monday morning at 5:39am. ...?
I replied asking for different flight times since I have work Monday morning - and hopefully it will be cheaper flights! (but I highly doubt it!)
--------
Now... I did a search on www.cheaptickets.com for the same exact dates for flights & hotel... and the first one I got was for the SAME flight times... SAME hotel... at $1027.28... that's $36.38 cheaper... and less of a headache.
FML for thinking this was going to be a "deal".
I'll keep you updated again.
Sincerely,
Disappointed Amy

I bought the vegas/orlando deal for $99 off of tippr. Read all the fine print and felt It wasn't bad. Even searched a little and didn't find anything concrete, but had 15 days from receiving the voucher to get refund from tippr and asked for one on the 14th day after seeing this thread. No problem getting the refund from tippr.

is that what they said? if that's the case, then why use the word redeem and not say that the voucher has a one year *expiry* date which can be used up to one year after it expires?

hey all! I was looking around for cheap flights to Orlando and came across Next Stage. I wasn't sure what this was about and saw they might also be a theater company? I see some people here had luck while others say it was a scam. Since it's a cheap inital purchase, I think I might take my chances!
Did anyone end up actually travelling?

ok so i just read a ton of information on this, and it seems like they put everything up front. the "fine print" i guess. Seems like they charge more than they claim, but I did the math and it looks like I could get a discount still, even with the fees.
wish me luck!

Seems you've made a good faith effort to do a cost analysis and still think it's a good deal. At the very worst, you're out a small bit of money and learned a new lesson. At best, you've saved money and found a new booking site. Hopefully the latter and not the former...good luck.

It's a joke ! Nextstagetravel
I bought the voucher for 99$ for two round trips to Orlando plus 2 night hotel. After Redeemed voucher , they took 3 months to get back to me.
Finally got a hold from them then they sent me the forms kit to fill out to another website and deal with another company to redeem my voucher. They sent me the price total almost 700$ . Which means I paid 99$ for the voucher then they needed $700 more. Total would cost me 800$ with the voucher. I searched on Priceline.com and got a great price. It's less than 500$ for two people round trip (not included hotel) Yes it's cheaper than using the voucher $300.
What a Scam !!! I decided not to redeem my voucher and saved $300
