Yes, these cards are legitimate.  You must keep in mind that the price that these cards discount from is the "rack rate" comparable to full retail.  If you are involved with computers you know that software usually sells at a discount to list price.  So it often is with travel.  My own best guess is that these are a good way to save if you aren’t getting a package deal. In the case of tour packages you should check costs and compare with what you can get with the card.  The interesting thing is that almost all of these cards have some kind of unconditional guarantee.  Therefore, use some git up ‘n go and plan a vacation to some place you plan to go using a card and then do it the best you can by yourself or with a travel agent. If the card doesn’t save you several times its price get your money back. The cards also vary in what they cover.  The card that we sell (Hotel Express) covers hotels, airline tickets, cruises, restaurants, and car rentals.  We have a separate card that covers golf.  A card offered by John Richardson in this group also covers health care items(drugs, etc.) and skiing as well as the items that I mentioned.(hotels, etc)  I suggest that you get information from both of us and see which one you like the best.
