Business ProfileforNEA Member Benefits

Not only did they have me pay around $4000 for a "lifetime" membership with "so many perks and travel dollars and points that add up" but the "dollars" constantly expire and when you try to use them, they don't even allow you to use more than 10% of them at a time. They told me that if I started paying $49 a month, my travel dollars could basically pay for my cruise and I would only owe a very small amount. So I did that for 6 months and when I checked, my dollars would be expiring the next month. I tried to use them for a cruise and the discount on the cruise was around $200 and even though I had $2300 in travel dollars, they could only apply $190 towards the cruise. So a cruise that was originally $2550 was now going o cost a little over $2100. I got upset and she told me not to worry because she could also apply my points which would bring it down to $2000. The only way this could be worth it for anyone, is if you go on vacation 10 times a year. We are teachers...that is clearly not happening! Also, once I tried using them to rent a car, and it was more expensive through them than it was going through my local rental place. It's a complete and utter scam.
