Consumer travel advice: Is it me or this the most stupid thing i have read in ages, you can now borrow money to finance your next holiday and get in even more debt:
Reminds me of a finance slogan “you can now borrow enough money to be debt free”.
If you want a holiday the last thing you want is to have some financial product rammed down your throat…
The Travel issue here is, desperation is starting to bite with some agencies and they see finance as the way out, but their clients will not be be happy when next year they are in more debt and cant afford a holiday…
Barrhead Travel is helping customers beat the recession by setting up its financial services division. The Scottish miniple now offers competitively-priced products including loans and life insurance.
Customers who buy financial services through the company will qualify for Holiday Miles, the agency’s new reward scheme.
From later this month, consumers will also be able to gather miles by buying a holiday from Barrhead Travel.
Friends and families can pool their miles to get the holiday they want and there is no limit on how many they can earn.
“The Holiday Miles reward scheme means when they go online and buy from top high-street names, they receive a benefit, which can go straight towards their holiday.
It’s very straightforward and helps us give something back to our customers
