Contact 6 helps consumers save $21,000 in March 2024

MILWAUKEE – Whether it’s a trip abroad or a trip to urgent care, consumers receive reimbursements through Contact 6.

Two years ago, Barb Borden of Nekoosa went on a rebooked cruise to Spain, Portugal and Belgium, thanks to FOX6. Borden was originally booked to sail in the Baltic Sea, but wanted out of the cruise after Russia invaded Ukraine. Contact 6 helped Borden move on to another European cruise.

“It was very unsettling in (the Baltic Sea),” Borden said. “We wouldn’t have gotten our money back if it wasn’t for Contact 6.”

Today, Borden is planning a separate trip to England. Last month, he learned that a hotel he had booked was closed. Her travel booking site said it would not refund her money.
