BESTFARES
 
Hi,<BR><BR>I am not a member of bestfares but they have great prices to the caribbean for x/mas with no blackouts supposedly. Has anyone had any experiences with the company? It cost 59.99 to join but they dont tell you anything about fares untill you join. Thanks<BR>Susan

From what I've read on this forum, the membership doesn't pay off. Most people say that they still are unable to get the advertised fares.<BR><BR>You can do a text search either here or on the US forum for previous threads regarding bestfares.com.<BR><BR>Good luck.<BR>

Sixty bucks up front with no guarantees?<BR><BR>If that sounds good to you, rush me $39.97 and I'll send you a free brochure on how to make big bucks without leaving your home.<BR>

Dear Susan,<BR>I joined Bestfares last year for $59.99 and it did not pay off. They sent me a monthly magazine with all their offers and I got special entry to VIP offers on their website but when I tried booking these "specials" it was a headache.<BR>Customer service is awful and it always was a huge wait on the phone to get info from reps. I found no special sales for members and would not recommend it. I love bestfares website and find it useful but don't spend the extra money for a magazine and terrible customer service and non-existent promotions.<BR>Needless to say I did not renew my membership and called them promptly to cancel.

Has anyone ever gotten their Quickfare finder to work?
