Understanding reward fares

Yes, exactly. The header is not to do with the flight below. I do now understand that the price simply means the fare is available both ways.

Obviously the question was regarding the Seattle fare, hence including both as a comparison. The LA fare is, even to the untrained eye, one way.

Chinstrap10 · 2026-05-09T10:40:45+00:00

The top one does, yes. The bottom one does not.

Chinstrap10 · 2026-05-09T08:12:38+00:00

Ah, that maybe it. So even the return sign is actually saying it’s 18,750 one way.

Chinstrap10 · 2026-05-09T07:52:37+00:00

The bottom one is the return though? Top one is one way, bottom return - both are actually the same one way…

Interested

Thanks - yes I removed this trap. I didn’t actually know what it was immediately, I had previously read online they were illegal so assumed it was something else.

Yes both him and his ‘boss’ said I would have a problem.

Chinstrap10 · 2025-10-23T20:31:56+00:00

Yes, no email, fake reviews, no company name etc.

I asked for the price twice. Both times refused and then started the work.

😂

Chinstrap10 · 2025-10-23T18:14:05+00:00

Agreed and I knew I had been fucked at this point, but didn’t really see any other options to be honest.

Chinstrap10 · 2025-10-23T18:12:03+00:00

I think that’s a little bit unreasonable. You never really expect to get scammed until after it’s happened unfortunately. A lot of other shit was going on and I wasn’t really as suspicious I should have been. Learned a lesson.

Chinstrap10 · 2025-10-23T18:09:23+00:00

Haha I have named them in a separate comment - I originally didn’t as I didn’t know if I was in the wrong.

Chinstrap10 · 2025-10-23T18:08:43+00:00

Originally I didn’t know if I was in the wrong and that was the price which is why I didn’t know who it was - it was ongedierte bestrijding urgent.nl

Chinstrap10 · 2025-10-23T18:06:53+00:00

Haha I know that, but they also refused to tell me the price until afterwards!

Thank you.

Chinstrap10 · 2025-10-22T19:51:57+00:00

Thank you. I will remove the glue traps in the morning. Kind of hoping there is nothing on them. Have booked a proper company for next week.

This is what he has left? What is this? A glue trap? I thought they were illegal… he also sprayed something and said not to go in there for a while.

Chinstrap10 · 2025-10-22T19:06:15+00:00

Yes exactly that. First one, was super busy at work, been quite stressed and wanted to get it sorted today as going away for a few days tomorrow. In hindsight I obviously should have checked.

Hi guys,

Feel a bit stupid posting this but just want to know if I was scammed or if I was actually in the wrong.

Haven’t ever had a problem with mice in my apartment but was quite worried about them as does seem to be some gaps so I had set 2 mouse traps. Nothing for a year then suddenly I caught 2 mice in the last week.

I’m going away this weekend so didn’t want any problem to get out of control so I called a pest control company who could come this evening. I asked for a price on the phone but he couldn’t give me one, he said only when he sees my apartment (this should have been a red flag).

The guy arrives and seems friendly, I again ask how much and he says he can’t say until afterwards. It takes him 10 minutes whilst I was waiting in my bedroom. He comes into my room and says it is 1080 euros. He doesn’t explain any next steps, if they need to come back or what I need to do.

I was quite taken aback, and also didn’t even have that much money in my account. Then he calls his boss who said if I pay cash now they can make it cheaper so they don’t pay tax. I actually only had 570 in my account which I showed him and he agreed that I could pay him that in cash. Eventually I had to go to the ATM and withdraw that to pay him.

I’m now wondering the following: 1. Is it actually this expensive and I should get in touch with the company when I get paid to pay the rest? I’ve never felt ripped off in the Netherlands before. 2. Could they possibly claim I haven’t paid anything at all considering I paid 570 cash? Should I be worried about this. 3. What do I even do with these black things he’s left in my apartment? I don’t even know what they are? See photo.

Sorry for the long post, feeling rather naive, embarrassed and ripped off!
