Nah its a scam.

They want $14 shipping on each and every $75 cert.
They won't sell larger denominations.
So a bulk order ordered at once shipped to the same addresss would have $1000 shipping.

I called on this.
a real turn off.
I guess its a tax on the miles,

$5025 + $938

certainly affects the miles per dollar.. wonder why no one mentioned it before..

When you are figuring the cost you should keep in mind that you can buy two $50 SpaFinder certificates at Costco for $79.99 so I think the price you pay at FTD is inflated (relatively speaking) by about 25%.
