Just Business Incentives (JBI)
Hi,
I was wondering whether anybody has had any dealings with Just Business Incentives? They offer travel packs to places such as the Gold Coast. At the moment, they're taking a looong time to get back to me. Thanks, Bob |

Sounds like "time share" to me.
If it is "time share", forget it. Ross wrote in message oups.com... Hi, I was wondering whether anybody has had any dealings with Just Business Incentives? They offer travel packs to places such as the Gold Coast. At the moment, they're taking a looong time to get back to me. Thanks, Bob |

At the moment, they're taking a looong time to get back to me. Thanks, Bob I live near the Gold Coast. Never heard of them. Nor do they surface in a web-search. The name implies time-shares. Any firm that takes too long to respond have lost my business. If they can't offer good communications now when they want your cash - what will they be like if you strike problems later after they already have it? What sort of package were you looking for (no, I'm not in the business:-)? Cheers, Alan, Australia --http://loraltravel.blogspot.com/ latest: Sloveniahttp://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/ Hi, Yeah - they're pretty non-existent on the net. That's one of the reasons for creating this post. The package they offered was airfares ($50 one way per person - airline fees are extra) and accomodation. We could choose from various hotels in the Stella group. The flight costs are what I was drawn to - and is what makes the holiday affordable. So if you know of another package that is worth while, it would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob |

Thanks, Bob You've led a sheltered life:-) Briefly, it is a system where holiday apartments are sold by the week. In it's simplest form you purchase a specific week in a specific building. However it has grown to be a complex industry selling various versions of that, credits, exchangeable holidays etc world-wide. The concept is not bad as such, but the marketing of it is cut-throat and extremely high-pressure and is also full of shifty operators. The promotors often offer you a free holiday or similar if you will sit through a high-pressure sales pitch for a couple of hours. I have a hide like a rhinocerous so I've sat through a few without purchasing and cheerfully used their free holiday - but it really is a full-on sales pitch. A side issue is that many of the time-share companies or even apartment complexes also offer the apartments for rent, like a hotel room, when available. That's not a bad concept but once again there are some sharp operators - so you need to investigate before just putting in a booking. Our Gold Coast is an industry centre both for Timeshare companies and the telemarketers who push them.

The accomodation is through the Stella group (including Peppers, Breakfree and Mantra). I've seen ads for these resorts on TV - so I'm guessing that they're not timeshare. Thanks for the info. Bob |

You pay $50 to get "free" tickets which you can only use if you book a minimum of 7 nights at designated hotels. The catch is that the 7 nights have to be paid at the full rack rate which can vary from the discount rate on offer from the actual hotels by more than $500. In one cast the difference was more than $1000. If you booked a business class flight and booked your own accommodation you would still be better off. |
