Problems with Hotel Booking Engine Agoda.com and How They Were Fixed

What Is Yapta? "Tag flights from your favorite airline sites and Yapta will email you when prices drop. Get refunds and credits after you buy. When the price drops below what you paid, Yapta helps you get a voucher or refund from the airline!"
