| My Notes:
| Companies that I will NOT do business with again. ( Complaints
and Issues )
| Spirit Incentives
| Cons (my experience)
| Vacation Packages are not flexible |
| Vegas trips are entirely impossible to get. I had
to settle for an Orlando trip which was not my initial
intent. |
| The process to establish 3 dates for travel was very
difficult (exchange of snail mail and restrictions).
And even then, I could not get my Vegas trip. Also,
even though they could not give me my Vegas trip on the 3
selected dates they would not work with me to find an
available date. |
|
| Pros (my experience)
| I could reach some one via phone. |
| Agents took time to work with me. |
|
|
| Bluegreen Resorts - sold me a Spirit Incentive vacation package
that was a nightmare. |
