cFares is bad news. Do not even think about using cFares to book a flight. Last year I tried to book a flight through them, signed up for gold membership with no annual fee (this is how they get your credit card info) tried to book the flight, unsuccessfully; tried again, again didn’t work (transaction failed or a message similar), so I gave up and booked the flight through Travelocity. cFares then charged my credit card twice for $50.00 booking fee. I contested these charges, and the credit company credited my account for $100.00. Exactly a year later, cFares charged my credit card again twice for $50 each, agin I have contested these charges. I called cFares and told them I would report them to the FBI and BBB for fraudulent charges to my credit card, and they were brash and unfriendly, and said that since I gave them two e-mail addresses they charged me twice for two memberships (now they say they upgraded me to platinum membership without my consent and claim I have two memberships, it’s of course absurd). Then they hung up on me. Ten minutes later, I received an e-mail from them that they downgraded my membership to gold (I checked, there was no membership under my second e-mail address, it was my backup e-mail, they were lying). I went ahead and filed complaints with the FBI and BBB. When they learned about this, they used my e-mail address (a clear breech of the privacy agreement, and a case of identity theft) to subscribe me to hundreds of magazines and online newsletters. Upon my request, one of these magazines sent me the IP address of the party that requested my subscriptions online, and as it turned out, it was indeed cFares’ IP address. Now I will report them to the FBI and the local police for identity theft. These are con artists. Do not do business with them

Hi
I heard about a problem about their rebates. They are very slow to respond or do not reply to your emails. Have they improved their customer services? Are the rebates coming in?
