FOR ALL WHO READ THIS: "FAREHUTZ" is a "SCAM" travel website. Be careful, they have become one of the choices you can choose from when you use travel websites that compare flight prices like: Trivago or KAYAK. I wasn't aware of this, and I saw many travel websites. In my case, FAREHUTZ was one of the cheapest flights, so I chose them. After going over all the details of my flight going to and from my destination, I was satisfied with the price, I bought their cancellation protection plan and booked my flight with my Credit card. Everything looked fine; and as I was looking up hotels in the area, I got a call from FAREHUTZ, saying there was a problem with my return flight, that the airline doesn't have the seats. I voiced my disappointment as I already had an itinerary emailed to me. They told me they could change my return date and find more seats for my wife and me, but it would be an additional $500. After voicing more of my disappointment, I decided to just cancel the flight and get my full refund. The Farehutz travel clerk said a refund was not possible, and they will try to find another flight from another airport close by. I again told them I wanted to cancel the flight and get my full refund. I told them I purchased the "Cancellation Protection" which guarantees a full refund withing 24 hrs. of booking. Since this was 30 min from the time I booked, I was clearly within the 24 hours. My wife and I argued with the FAREHURTZ travel clerk and then the Supervisor. Although the argument lasted over 40 min, they did not budge, they would transfer me to another clerk who would say the same thing. While this was happening, "I WENT TO MY BANK APP ON MY SMART PHONE AND LOCKED MY CREDIT CARD". I had my credit card locked while still arguing with them. So in the end, I was never charged, and they did not get my money. I have alerted my bank about this and have cancelled that credit card. As you can see, I'm also writing this story on ScamPulse.com to further make sure this travel website doesn't SCAM anyone else.

REMEMBER "FANHURTZ IS A SCAM TRAVEL WEBSITE"; if you run into situation a like mine, "LOCK YOUR CREDIT CARD" as fast as you can, so you won't get charged. Notify your bank and any fraudulent entity you know. Tell everyone about this scam travel website!!!

The scammers advertised a flight at an exceptionally cheap price about two to $300 cheaper than any other competitor. They required me to put my phone number into the payment window as well. quoting. They would only call if anything changed. And there was a 24 hour window before the reservation was confirmed. They called me about an hour later, saying that the return flight was no longer available at that original quoted price. They went onto say how I needed to pay an additional $600 to get the next cheapest flight for my return flight. they were very adamant on this price and that I was locked in on having to pay based on their cancellation policy. At this moment, I hung up on them and called my credit card company to report the potential scam/fraud and canceled my credit card so that it would not be charged.

On July 3, 2024, I looked for a round-trip flight from Honolulu, Hawaii to Orlando, Florida for 3 adults through Trivago. On the Trivago website, it listed the best price from Farehutz.us. I booked the flights through Farehutz.us and minutes later at 5:04 pm I received an email stating my booking was in progress. At 5:14 pm I received a text message asking me to call Farehutz at 1-866-503-8818 to complete my reservations. Calling the number, I was informed, that only our return flight to Honolulu was confirmed and our outbound flight to Orlando was sold out, so we need to pay an additional fee of $300+ for an upgrade to confirm an outbound flight. I asked for a refund and the agent, supervisor Adrian, said the return flight had been charged to my credit card and the flight had been booked and confirmed by United Airlines, so no refund could be made, but, if I paid the additional $300+ upgrade fee he could confirm the outbound flight. I checked with my credit card company and United Airlines; neither company could verify the charges or booking. This led me to believe Farehutz is a "BAIT AND SWITCH" company. I'm still waiting to see if my credit card will be charged for the round-trip reservation.

At around 2 a.m. on April 13, I searched for air tickets on the Cheap Flights APP and selected two round-trip tickets. The platform transferred my purchase to a third-party website www.farehutz.us and I paid $2802.59. I bought two tickets and received a call around 14:00 from someone claiming to be a Farehutz employee. The number is 8665038818. He told me they did not have tickets at this price and gave me several options to change my ticket, each needed an extra fee of more than $2,000. The price is too high. I couldn't afford it, but they could neither give me the tickets at the original price they offered nor agree to a refund. They said that the price change was non-refundable. But the price was the most important flight detail. I should have received a 100% refund when the flight details were changed. They required me to accept such a large raise or I would lose the nearly three thousand dollars I had paid.

I recently encountered what I believe to be a fraudulent situation involving the websites Triplinetour and Farehutz. The incident unfolded when I was redirected from Triplinetour to Farehutz under the impression of securing flight tickets at prices notably lower than those on the official airline websites. Motivated by this offer, I proceeded with booking a ticket through Farehutz.

However, my concerns were raised the next day when Farehutz contacted me, stating that the flight I had booked was supposedly canceled. This information was in direct contradiction with the airline's official website, where the flight was listed as operating normally. My suspicion escalated after directly contacting the airline, where I learned that my personal information had been used for several flight bookings. This practice led to a strict policy where all tickets associated with repeated personal details were automatically canceled, preventing me from securing my intended flight.

In an effort to resolve this situation, I approached Farehutz for clarification. Their response was disconcerting, insisting on a cancellation fee for the already 'canceled' flight and demanding extra charges for transferring to another flight.

Realizing the likelihood of a scam, I promptly took measures to protect my financial interests, including the cancellation of my credit card. Despite this, the potential misuse of my personal information remains a deep concern.

This report is submitted in the hope of raising awareness and preventing similar deceptive practices from affecting others. Advice on further protecting my personal information and addressing the distress and potential financial implications of this incident would be highly valued.

Fraudulent company that is advertising cheap flight tickets on the website. However when you book with them they claim that the booking status is pending and tell you that the reservation is no longer available. A few weeks later we had a fraudulent charge of Spirit airlines sale on our credit card.

The scam website shows up on google flights with prices lower than competitors as a third-party travel website. It asks you your credit card information and you make a booking. The booking shows "in process" and they call you right after to tell you that booking was not made and ask you for additional money for booking. They will not cancel when asked to cancel and tell the consumer you have to lose money despite the booking made 15-30 mins ago. They were also previously reported to BBB.com under farehuts.com with a lot of horror stories and now they have changed their website to farehutz.com.
