Budget program strains your budget
We're all turned on by the thought of getting free money in the mail, but you should be skeptical unless the tooth fairy delivers it personally. According to Upgrade:Travel Better, you should be wary of a new deal from Budget Rent-A-Car.Sign the $10 check that you get from Budget, and you're really joining a fee-laden membership program that will cost you much more. The best part? You're giving the company that manages this program (Trilegiant) access to your credit card information. So, you know they'll get paid. As you may have figured out by now, Trilegiant has a history of complaints about its billing practices.
If you believe in free money, sign the "check" immediately. If Trilegiant doesn't take your money, someone else undoubtedly will.
