Help me, I won; Bridal Registry?

View Quoted Comment Hello!
The only fees that you pay are for shipping on the items you receive when you claim them. I think the fees were worth it in the end. The rings we got were really nice and the hotel fee is like $100 for a deposit I can’t remember. But no you don’t pay anything when you actually go to the display

View Quoted Comment Hi! Okay thank you!! I’d pick the trip personally for the hotel for the DR but it definitely worries me. I’m not bringing my credit cards 100%.

View Quoted Comment Hey Kayla!
Sorry I am just worried that I’m missing out on an opportunity by deciding not to go. But I am just worried about hidden fees with the trips? The vacation is where I am the most concerned. Did you do the US version or the international?

View Quoted Comment For the trip you do pay like a $100 deposit but I think that’s it, we did the US one

Do you get time to decide where you want to go with the vacation package or do you have to decide there?

DON'T DO IT!!!! My fiance and I just went to one of their shows and it was not what I expected. We were there for 2 hours, and got made to feel like horrible people when I said we couldn't afford $8,000.00 for some pots and pans. I told him that we were literally SAVING PENNIES to pay for a wedding, buying a house, and that my kid just got braces a few months ago. He asked me how I could spend so much money on her teeth each month, yet feed her from pans that might flake. It was awful. I felt like I was at a timeshare for pots and pans. The "free gifts" all have some sort of catch. The "free" champagne flutes are really $25.00 (for shipping), the honeymoon accommodation can't be used on holidays or weekends, and you have to buy 2 rings to be able to use the gift card.

I received a text, randomly, from a person named "Cheryl" who said that I won a bridal package and identified herself as being from the Bridal Registry. We went to a bridal expo at a country club (she mentioned the name and that was true - we did go there a few months back for an expo), and said that we won a prize package that included "honeymoon accommodations" among a few other things. She provided a number from NY in her text, which I called during business hours and went to voicemail after a few rings. I texted her back and offered to speak on the phone or asked if she could email me the details. She replied that she would text them to me and asked if that was ok. I asked again if she could speak live or email me, and mentioned that the phone number went to voicemail after a few rings. She just replied that they were "on the other line" and asked if I left a message because they would get back to me (while she was "texting" me back... after she had offered to text me details but would not get on the phone from which she was presumably "texting"? *eyeroll*) After finding and reading through this thread, needless to say I am skeptical and won't be wasting my time. We picked our venue but I am tempted now to call the venue that she mentioned and we went to so they can know they're working with a scammer or at a minimum, a spammy company got prospective client information and is name dropping their venue to scam people. Super shady.

View Quoted Comment How'd it go??

Adding to this thread although it’s older to add some input. I had a similar experience to Nina with our representative Jerry at the Hyatt House in Mt. Laurel. My fiancé and I came in genuinely interested in possibly buying a particular pot we were looking for. My fiancé is an engineer with a hobby for cooking so he was interested in the whole 90 minute presentation. Jerry cooked us some great food, but was very confrontational and had a hard sell style. We thought his initial hard sell style was funny, however, there comes a point where you cross a line when you blatantly disrespect potential customers. My fiancé and I are very laid back and did not speak unless spoken to during his presentation. There were two other couples with us and from the very beginning I could tell the one other man there was going to clash with Jerry since they were both confrontational, loud, and liked interrupting people. They both wanted to be the center of attention so by the end of the show they had gotten into a full blown argument in front of everyone. It was such an awkward experience. When Jerry had asked us if we were interested in buying either a $1700 or $2400 set of cookware, mind you we only had a day’s notice for this presentation so we didn’t have that type of money to drop while saving for a wedding, we asked if we could buy a 12 inch pot that was in the catalog he handed us. He told us he could not sell pieces individually but then told us he could sell us the 10 inch pot he had for $279 on the spot. We kept trying to mention that we were interested in the 12 inch and not the 10 inch and we did not have that kind of money to drop on cookware within a day’s notice but would be interested in buying from his catalog in the future. Then he called my fiancé a liar and said there are liars and buyers when he was genuinely interested but just didn’t have that kind of money at the time and we were also interested in the 12 inch and not the 10 inch that he was trying to sell us. The cookware seems of good quality from what I could see, however, it’s not affordable within a day’s notice while trying to pay for your wedding. The gifts all seem legit although you don’t get your first pick on dates for the free honeymoon. It’s just a very awkward experience to be put through but I guess it was worth the prizes.

View Quoted Comment Hey! I just got a text from them… how did this work out for you?

I too got a text today but was told I can get 3 gifts a vacation, JVL rings and a choice between either the Champagne flutes or favorite wedding photo canvas. I got really excited but now after seeing this I’m second guessing on wasting a vacation day from work to just be disappointed or would anyone know even going for the rings would that be a waste?

I just had the same experience. Someone by the name of "Elaine" called me from a private number saying I won all 3 prizes including 2 engraved wedding bands from a company called JVL, a 3 day 2 night trip for our honeymoon out of the country or in the united states of our choice, and we could pick champagne flutes or one of our favorite wedding photos to be printed on a canvas. I asked for her name and information and she only gave me her phone number and that was it. She told me that I had to meet them in person this upcoming Saturday, February 5th to claim the prizes. She gave me 3 times to choose from which were noon, 3:00 pm, and 6:00 pm. I told her 6:00 pm but I will NOT be attending after reading this. I NEVER answer phone calls from "No Caller ID", but I was unsure of what it was so I answered it. It blows my mind that these people knew my name and knew I was getting married this year. I said to them that I never entered a giveaway and she said, "someone must have entered you in ours and you won!" This entire situation seems super sketchy and my fiance and I will NOT be attending. Thank you to all of you who have posted to draw my attention to this!!

I got a text today from it Kenzie was very rude. As I too am a 27 year old female. She told me to call or text at my earliest convenience so I did both and got no answer. Called again and went straight to voicemail as if my number was blocked and she called me rude and told me I was making assumptions. I was not was just letting her know what was going on as I called more than once. AS THE TEXT told me to do was call or text again I did both got no answer until she snapped back and called me those things. I dropped out of it. I don't need the package if thats the face of their company as a booking agent. I didn't even sognt up for anything but according to them I did. 🙄🤣

Hey! I just got a text saying the same !! . Thank you for this! I will be sure not to reply to them

Just an update - they are still using the same phone number. Thanks to the person who posted it before, as it made this thread come up immediately when I searched the phone number!

"Cheryl" just texted me the same spiel... I immediately hit delete. I did this once for Hilton, and while the rewards were great.... the headache of the 90min presentation was awful

Hi! Did you go? Whatever happened with it? I was selected to go on Friday but idk what the details are

View Quoted Comment Did you have to pay for the flutes and rings? I e heard that the vacation you will pay extra fees and taxes.
