• No Rewards Program
• Lack of Travel Protection
• Hidden Fees
• App Limitations

No Rewards Program

Not having a rewards program can keep frequent travelers from using the service as they will not be able to earn rewards or points to help pay for future purchase through the same site. While travelers can earn points with their current travel-specific or airline-specific credit cards, there are no additional incentives earned directly for each dollar spent on Bookit.

Lack of Travel Protection

If a customer isn’t sure whether a time period will work out, they may want to look elsewhere for their booking or travel management needs as it will not be protected. Travelers will not be covered when trips do not go according to plan. Bookit.com does not cover:

• Trip cancellation
• Trip interruption
• Trip delay
• Missed connection
• Accident Medical expense

Experienced travelers know the above possibilities aren't the only issues that can go wrong when going on vacation. Some Bookit.com reviews have shown that the company’s customer service call center isn’t always reliable when dealing with travel protection issues. Bookit.com's lack of travel protection is enough to stress out the customer who wants to cover all bases.

Hidden Fees

Hidden fees and pricing errors are another factor customers have to weigh when choosing to use the website for their next vacation. Customers will most likely find themselves paying for more than the listed price due service charges and taxes along with other fees. A customer should be aware of the following:

• Third Party Suppliers may change prices for their products or services without notice
• Bookit.com is not responsible if a product or a service is provided to Bookit.com at an incorrect price or with incorrect information
• Bookit.com may charge a service fee in exchange for the services provided
• Bookit.com may pre-negotiate certain rates with hotels

App Limitations

While Bookit.com has a mobile app, it is only available for Apple and Android users. Windows users will have to use a browser when planning trips on Bookit.com or choose another online travel agency that has a mobile app designed for Windows.
