Did anyone out there add $$ to their trip price?

That is really funny I didn't even notice we were both from Red Deer, I bet it is the same TA...lol

This particular TA wasn't local, and obviously reads this forum because she called me tonight! She said that she didn't say anything about this being a standard thing to do - but I felt as though she was PUSHING me towards it... I was honestly convinced that this was standard protocol for DW's.

 

I'll give her credit though, I've spoken with probably 10 TA's before I settled on the one that I did, and more than one of them did mention this.

What? That's crazy. That TA is shady and I'm glad you asked people and went with someone else. That's not right at all.

hah! i can't believe she called you.

 

note to all TAs, vendors, etc.: if you don't want anyone to post anything negative (or that might be viewed as negative) about you in a public forum, then don't give us ammunition! we are just as likely to post glowing recommendations and positive experiences as we are the negative stuff. it's your actions that determine which will end up on the forum!

sounds sneaky to me....

OMG...I had never heard of this! I can't believe someone would do this!!!

Would you ask people to pay at a local wedding for people who were from out of town!??!! That just seems so inappropriate!

We did receive a free trip (1 in 16)...which we gave to DH's sister who would have had a hard time coming up with the money to go. But nobody was charged extra for this!!!

I can't believe the nerve of some people!!

 

Oh and I'd like to say hello to the spying TA!! HEEELLLLOOOOO!!!!! Now get back to work planning trips & weddings!!! LOL
