Hi all

Could those wiser and smarter than myself please check the following website offer out and advise me what the catch is (there has gotta be one for sure). Failing that is the offer a scam? It seems too good to be true.

These are not uncommon - they often get given out as promotions. Note in the FAQ

"There may also be a minimum stay required and the travel agency will book your hotel accommodations. The stay will be no longer than 5-7 days and you are not required to stay the amount of days you booked."

They tend to charge about $300 a night for accommodations - and require you to do this (you don't have to stay, but you do have to pay).

I've always considered them not a scam, but misleading at best.
