Anyone heard of "Preferred Traveler" program?
I got some spam the other day advertising 2 free tickets or 2 free hotel nights if you sign up for their ($96/year) program of discounts. Of course, the first 30 days is free and you can cancel and keep the tickets, so I thought it sounded like a good deal -- get the 2 free tickets, then cancel.
I just thought I'd see if anyone else had any experience with this outfit before I give them a credit card number. :-)
The link to the offer was:
http://www.teamnova.com/encore/index.cfm?siteid=of1pr
and the email was from '[email protected]'.
I'm not affiliated in any way with this offer; just trying to find out if anyone else is, and if it's reputable. ;-)

holland, read the fine print about the "free" trip. Below is an alarming exerpt:
You have to book the ticket ahead of time only to where they tell you, book at their hotel (likely at rack rate) for who-knows how many days.
You need to wait 4-6 weeks for the voucher to arrive, but have only a 30 day window to cancel membership.

"sounded like a good deal" -- sounded like a deal too good to be true
