My wife and I attended a 2-hour presentation and we were told that at the end, whether we purchased the product or not, we would be entitle to a "free" 3-night hotel stay in our choice of over 20 major U.S. cities.
"Free" was not a correct description. A very complicated process. First we had to pay a $50 deposit to begin the reservation request process. Then we were told we had to fill out a reservation request form and send in a "Tax & Fee Deposit Plus Refundable Reservation Guarantee Deposit" which was an ADDITIONAL $179. Then we were told because we wanted to spend part of the time over a weekend we had to send them an additional $40 ($20 per night for Friday and Saturday stays).
A representative from Fun Rewards Redemption Center called us and stated that we needed to provide additional signatures and choose other destinations and/or dates as "Choice 2" and "Choice 3". The representative told us that the primary choice should be "no problem", and that the other choice options were just a formaility to fill out the form. All of our flights and sightseeing plans were made to the west coast months in advance, then 14 days before our departure we were sent the following e-mail:
"Dear Valued Redeemer, we have searched our available inventory for your up-coming requested travel date and we were unable to find any availability in the destination you selected". We gave them months of advanced information of our travel dates and destination and now with only 14 days before our depature we are left with no place to stay.
If you are offered a "free" 3-night stay for a no-obligation presentation ask if the promotion provider is Fun Rewards Redemption Center. If they are, I would strongly suggest declining the offer.
It is very difficult to contact them. They never provide a phone number in their e-mail correspondence, but I fortunately wrote down the number they called me from (619-308-6486) when they called requesting more information.
A Fun Rewards for You voucher was given to us when we donated our vehicle. You must send in a fee of $14.95 to process your request, then they give you six months to decide where you wish to go and when. They then require an additional tax & fees payment for the hotel (which you can't choose) and a $50 reservation guarantee, refundable.
They tell you your reservation request must be mailed "on or before the register by mail date". So I made sure to have the envelope postmarked by the postal clerk, showing it was mailed on time.
We then receieved an email stating it was late and we were cancelled. I attempted to dispute it and was told we were cancelled. Done, no more discussion. We stopped payment on the check, just in case, which or course, cost us another $22.
We received one additional email letting us know, for another $22, we could reinstate our reservation. All this company does is nickel and dime you to death, then cancel you out or demand more money.
Thank you for your submission. We give a full 6 months to submit the reservation form, and we strictly go by post mark date. If there was a clerical error on our behalf, we would like to amend this problem. Can you provide a certificate number or reservation form number, so we may research it more thoroughly?
Our number to our fulfillment department is 877-404-7566.

It has been a terrible experience.
Basically
So what you are saying it is all a crock of crapola. We wasted 2 hours and got nothing for our efforts nor did you.
