TripAlertz uses the power of group buying to sell members-only travel deals at deluxe hotels & resorts, and will launch in beta on October 5th (you can preview deals now). The multi-night deals are up to 75% off prices found on public online travel sites. And right now, they’re giving away 250 free trips to the first 10,000 members! Plus, you earn credits for future bookings (Trip Tokens) by referring friends.
How it works: Members reserve private travel deals within a one-week booking period (two weeks for international hotels). The more people that book, the lower the price goes, and everyone pays the same price when the deal clock hits zero. Once booked, members can opt to meet and share advice with their fellow travelers on a private collaboration page before and after their trip (not everyone travels on the same date).
There are some great deals featured at Florida hotels including: Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles, Tradewinds Island Grand Beach Resort on St. Pete Beach, Saddlebrook Resort in Tampa, The Atlantic on Ft. Lauderdale Beach, and Royal Plaza, Embassy Suites Lake Buena Vista and Vista Cay in Orlando. Check it out!
