(800) 221-3099

I received a post card in the mail with the only unique identification on it was the phone number: 1-800-221-3099. The card said:----------------------------Featuring MajorUS AirlinesFly the US SkiesClaim: 2 Roundtrip AirfaresCONGRATULATIONSClaim Number: (7 digit number)Selected Traveler: (my name)Call To Claim: 1-800-221-3099* Thank You America Promotion. Continental USAirports.Certain restrictions apply.----------------------------On the back of the post card was a picture of some sail boats.That's it! These guys are getting smarter about naming the company on their promotional materials because they know once it gets plaster all over sites like this, they'll need to print new stationary! So they try to limit the "searchability" of the things they print on their promo. Hopefully you searched the 800 number and found this advice.Here's the scam:They get you to spend a whole lot of your time listening to a pitch, and then make it almost impossible for you to get your "free" airline tickets. I put "free" in quotes because they never say "free". They say "Claim", as if all you need to do is call and say "I'll take 'em". Well, if you play this thing until the end, you will have spent real money and who know how many hours. Then you end-up with tickets to somewhere you didn't want to go, at a time when you didn't want to go there.DON'T BOTHER! IT'S A WASTE OF TIME!I didn't bite on this one, but just for yucks my wife and I decided we'd "play along" on one of these pitches, just to see if we could get the "incentive".  I won't go into the details, but let's just say it's not "impossible" to get the incentive, but you've got to want it pretty bad, and it's never "free".  For instance, you probably can only fly on certain months and certain days in those months, to certain cities.  You probably would have to commit in advance and pay your taxes and fees before you even know exactly when you'll be flying, and things like that.  So the bottom line is that you will never collect on the incentive and you'll have suffered through the pitch for nothing.If you can find the sales literature for the incentive fulfillment companies (as they are selling to the hard-pitch companies), you can see that the hard-pitch sales companies buy these incentives for really cheap because the incentive providers make it so inconvenient to collect on them that they almost never have to fulfill to anyone.
