DealBase shows real honesty: displays worst hotel deals

In many ways, travel deal site DealBase does what lots of other sites do – they collect the best deals, create a comprehensive listing for them, and publish these deals in an easy to navigate way. But that is where the comparison ends. In searching for the best deals, DealBase also publishes what they consider to be the worst deals.

Becase the site knows the average prices for these rooms, they also know perfectly well when a hotel has raised its prices beyond what is considered “normal”.

Hotel package deals are one kind of “bargain” where customers are regularly taken for a ride, and when DealBase passes these deals through their Deal Analyzer, they break down the actual savings.

So, instead of blindly publishing a deal and hoping you’ll fall for it, the site shows what the package value is, and how much you are not going to save if you purchase it.

Their “worst hotel deals” are all listed here, but if you don’t like being ripped off, you can also navigate their best deals.

DealBase.com – It’s like having a travel agent you don’t have to talk to

We always try to let you know when there’s a great new way to find travel deals, and DealBase is one of the best yet.

The fashionistas among you may be familiar with a site called ShopItToMe.com — this is that for travel. I’ll explain.

Basically, you go to DealBase.com and tell them what you want. Four or more star hotels in Vegas for under $300? Any hotel in New York for under $100? Whatever you’re looking for, you can customize your preferences into their system. Then, not only will they search immediately for deals for you or trips that match your criteria — they’ll e-mail you a “Deal Alert” if when they find another one!

“In this time of amazing travel deals, everyone wants to be the first to know about the best savings and insider discounts,” says Sam Shank, CEO. “DealBase.com’s comprehensive deal alerts empowers travelers by sending relevant offers and insider savings opportunities, so you can get these deals before they sell out.”

We think this is awesome. It’s like, the laziest easiest way to search for travel you can afford ever, especially since it often doesn’t matter when you travel — you’re just waiting for the right deal. If there’s somewhere you’ve always wanted to go, but think you can’t afford, plug in the details and who knows? Maybe two months from now, a deal will pop up!

So, go set up your DealBase account already.
