Just bought a plan ticket tonight... 3 pre-checked x-sales - GoFuckYourself.com

DWB · 11-17-2008, 03:57 PM

They had a cross sale for a rental car, a hotel and travel insurance!!! Wow!

Of course I have eyes and unchecked them all. Though I'm sure the same idiots who can't ready a porn join page will also end up with a car a hotel and rental insurance when he books his next flight.

stevo · 11-17-2008, 04:12 PM

That reminds me. I got raped by Expedia.com a few years ago with prechecked insurance (on 5+ plane tickets). I called immediately after and they refused to refund.

VeriSexy · 11-17-2008, 07:28 PM

I am not surprised at all.

You guys must be going to a different godaddy than the one I use. I have never had a pre-checked anything with them, and I have over 300 domains there.

nope same godaddy

i have been hit with multiple cross-sales with them also. They aren't "pre-checked" though , they have those intersitials that ask you to add all sorts of products, pretty annoying really. i would almost rather they had 5 or 6 prechecked cross-sales but on one page

ya i see the other offers, but after about your 2nd or 3rd purchase, you know to just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "No Thanks, proceed to checkout".

But, like you said they are NOT pre-checked, like some people are saying they are.

And I'd also love to know what travel site has pre-checked, for some reason he won't name it, probably cuz it does not exist.

Matt 26z · 11-17-2008, 08:38 PM

What travel site was it?

I'm sure the final checkout page listed the total charges.

I would be fine with adult pre-checked cross sales if they did that.

They do have a lot of unchecked cross sales, but it takes only 5-10 seconds total to move through them. The charges are also very clear at the end, and there is a link to remove any product that the customer doesn't want in the final list of charges.

How many pre-checked cross sales would go through if adult sites did that?

aico · 11-17-2008, 11:32 PM

please, someone, anyone, link a fucking travel site that has pre-checked cross-sales. I won't believe it until I see it.

Robbie · 11-17-2008, 11:36 PM

Cue up the whiners to tell us how mainstream is now going to cause Visa to shut everything online down and how the govt. is going to take the mainstream people to jail and how the...

Oh, that's right. Prechecked x-sells have always been around. I keep forgetting. Sometimes reading some of the shit on GFY over and over and over can cause you to actually start believing it.

D Ghost · 11-17-2008, 11:39 PM

yep, like i've been telling everyone, travel insurance is a huge one, almost always prechecked on many travel sites... GoDaddy has prechecks too

Also, how about "Apple's placement of the Safari update next to an iTunes update with a check box pre-checked, and then offering up both a Safari download as well as as the iTunes update as a single, clickable install.

But... for some reason, people still buy airline tickets from travel sites, domains from GoDaddy, and install Apple software.... ;)

I am beginning to think this thread is just full of people who have sites with pre-checks who are trying to make everyone think that it's totally normal and ok, by filling people's head with lies.

I would like nothing more than to be proven wrong, but so far not one person has stepped up and done it, just more and more people posting falsehoods.

There are none, we are all lying. And there's no money in doing the pre-checked x-sells. And the chargeback ratio is shutting everybody down. And Visa is going to stop credit card processing because of it.
I was just testing you to make sure you weren't on the side of the "shady" people who do that kind of thing. Fucking x-sells. They are killing the "industry". I say we burn everybody at the stake that does it. I hate every one of those fuckers. Fuck them. And another thing...I want a percentage of every goddamn x-sell they make (even though they are killing the industry). And while I'm at it I'm gonna drop links to every site that uses them. And at the same time I still want a percentage of the x-sells. And if I ever do decide to promote PPS I want $100 pps on a $1 trial AND a percentage.

And oh yeah...I want a beer from hahaha.

They pre-check a x-sell for travel insurance, please feel free to go thought the signup process to see for yourself, screen grab below.

Roald · 11-17-2008, 11:52 PM

Thank god there is a big diffrence on how people read a porn site and a mainstream site huh.

Thank You!!!

yes they have pre-checked. But, the difference is they are listed in the total due summary and you can easily uncheck them directly to the right of that, way way way before you even get to where you enter the billing information.

But yes, you are correct, finally someone showed me, they were pre-checked.

Robbie · 11-17-2008, 11:53 PM

nekrom, that is obviously not real. Come on man...

I read it right here on GFY that anybody that uses prechecks is a crook.

(hahaha, I still haven't got my beer)

nekrom · 11-17-2008, 11:53 PM

Note how they clearly tell you it is pre-checked, just like adult paysites do. It's not out fault if surfers are too fucking stupid to read before clicking the pay button.

Oh I believe you, thanks for showing me. But, again, price is listed way before the billing, but still, pre-checked, you are correct.

Robbie · 11-17-2008, 11:58 PM

Just did a lookup on http://www.virginblue.com.au/

Guess what? They are using the SAME EXACT interwebs as hahaha does!

Well, that explains the fucking pre-check!

I am sorry, but if you don't see the obvious difference between those pre-checked and ones hidden at the bottom of a page under the billing information, then you are not too bright.

Robbie · 11-18-2008, 12:01 AM

aico, why are you attacking me like that? Of course I'm not too bright. You can tell by how horrible I've done in life. And how did you know I had lipstick on? Fuck! Please don't tell anybody.

Doomed to be dumb and kissing hahaha's ass...it's just not fair, it's just not fair.

I'm pulling all of my own links!

Okay, let me give it a shot....
The difference is, the precheck for the airline is stuck in the middle of a bunch of shit and hard to see. The precheck on the ones "hidden" (according to screen resolution, user font and size, widescreen monitor or not, etc. ) is usually there surrounded by nothing but background of the page.

Now do I win a beer at the next brovention?

Hey I'm just in a good mood aico. Not trying to fight with you. Just having some fun. Sorry if I was pissing you off. I've argued this point in the past with people to no avail. It ain't worth getting worked up about. Just trying to inject some humor

If people don't think there is a diffrence when someone buys something mainstream with when someone (using 1 hand all horny and all) wants to join a porn site, well then.....oh fuck it never mind!

Ya the big red bold letter "Optional Travel Insurance" is really hard to see. And the difference actually is that the pre-checks are above the credit card information, have the price CLEARLY listed in bold red with a lot of space around it so it's very hard to miss, and it's not in some smaller font, hidden below the submit button.

But you know this, and are just supporting your Bros with asinine comments and virtual high fives.

No I'm not. I'm just having some fun. Sorry to get you upset. Didn't mean to.

I was just clowning around. My feelings on it are...I HOPE they do not see the x-sell. And I further hope they are drunk when they sign up and never cancel either the host site or the x-sell. I like making money. But that's just me.

Anyway, I wasn't being serious. I was just in a good mood and joking around. No offense meant to you. You're free to do business anyway you want and I wish you plenty of success.
