Why Choose YEI? Because You’ve Earned It!
As I have posted before, it would really be helpful if the prices for the various offerings could be shown
Thank you for your comment!
We completely understand that it’s helpful to see prices upfront. However, the cost of products and services – for example, at a B&B or restaurant – can change without YEI being notified. In the past, this once unfortunately led to a situation where YEI has been accused of “false advertising” when the organisation had simply not advised us of a price change.
For this reason, we’ve chosen not to display prices in many listings. Instead, we encourage YEI readers to contact the business directly via the YEI contact form. In that way, you’ll always receive the most accurate and up-to-date pricing and information.
YEI’s goal is to help you Live Well and Save Smart by showcasing brands, organisations and services that offer great deals and benefits for our 55+ audience.
