Hotel Discount Card

Hotel Discount Scam: How It Works

This could happen anywhere, so beware. While traveling, someone you just met has a great recommendation for a hotel. "I stayed there last week – it's amazing. Take this card, they told me I will have a discount whenever I go back there. Unfortunately I won't be able to, at least not soon – so why don't you use it?".

Happy to get a deal, the tourist takes the card and goes to the hotel, which turns out to be low quality and with poor customer service.
