Help end this bait-and-switch pricing!

[Consumer Reports]   Dear Friend, Summer is here. And with it, the hit parade of ways to take more money out of your wallet – hotel ‘resort’ fees, concert ticket ‘convenience’ fees, and the ubiquitous ‘destination’ fee for the privilege of staying at, well, your destination. But this can also be the summer of VICTORY against these fees! Legislation that would put an end to hidden fees that suddenly show up at checkout for a hotel room or sports/concert tickets recently passed the House of Representatives – now we just need the Senate to approve them. This is our moment to end the worst hidden fees![But to win, everyone needs to send an email to their Senators right now to vote YES on these bills.]( The hotel and ticket industries make too much money off these fees to go quietly, so let’s make some noise and get these bills passed!  [Email Your Senators Now »](  It’s taken more than a year for these bipartisan bills to get to this critical point, thanks to so many of you taking action to push them. If passed, they would end the bait-and-switch tactics used by some hotel chains and ticket sellers that display a low price up front, only to have it skyrocket at checkout with add-on fees. By making the total price for hotel rooms and tickets clear upfront, consumers will more easily be able to search and shop for the lowest price – which in turn, should hopefully spark real price competition. The House of Representatives last week overwhelmingly supported the hotel fee legislation, and the ticket fee bill has already passed the House and is up for a vote soon in the Senate. [Let’s put the pressure on, and tell your Senators to pass these money-saving bills this summer!](  [Email Your Senators Now »]( After you send your message, please share this email with friends and family so they can do the same. This is our best chance to put an end to these hidden fees!
