Phuket $99 holidays in Phuket - Asia Rewards Holidays
Posted: Tue August 26, 2008 12:32 PM UTC
Have just made an enquiry via this company www.asiarewardsholidays.com

They came came back with a great offer for 7 nights in the Thanthip Villa, Patong Beach, only $99 in October. They also had another resort in Kata called Kata Palm.

Was wondering if anyone has booked a holiday with them ? All looks legit from what I can see. They even offer payment by Paypal.

I got a few of those offers before and never really take them up. It sounds too good to be true. There will be some marketing ploy when you are there.

When I was in Bali, I went along with my brother and sis-in-law to claim a camcorder they won on a lucky draw. My partner and I were asked to wait outside until they realised we are a same sex couple. We got ushered into a room and someone came to try to sell us a time share holiday property.

Their sales technique were very aggressive and very convincing. After 5 hours later we managed to leave the place.

Their initial questions were similar to those on the website, as they are not interested in single unemployed 20something. Try putting a request in that website and see if they offer you the $99 accommodation.

Anyway, this is just my opinion.

Merv

Im the most skeptical person in the world normally but a deal is a deal and I have already gone ahead with a booking, we will see.

Staying in the Thanthip Villa on Patong Beach, end of next month. $99 for 7 nights, includes a free pick up from the airport.

Im sure if I was a 20 something it might be different. But what I can say is that it appears this accommodation is "subsidised" in some way or other by this company (or some resort over there), if this is the case I have to say they have every right to choose who they want to offer it to.

No enticement of a camcorder from them, and there site does not appear to be any sort of "Free draw" enticement. Of course if this company had on there website "Come to Phuket for a free camcorder" I would find that a little bizarre. Lets face it, anyone who believes there is such thing as a free camcorder must have there heads examined by a doctor !

Sure when I get there im likely to have some sort of sales pitch but hey, the world is one big sales pitch isnt it !

Hello :)

Let me know how it is. I don't mind doing that when we go in March next year.
