Basically your customers get access to a Special Non Public Travel Site that they need to login with a username and password in order to book a trip.
The reason why our private travel site is so heavily discounted when you compare side by side with sites like Expedia and Orbitz is because all public travel sites are regulated on how much they can charge for a room and this is why when you are searching different public travel sites, all the prices are very close in comparison, by a % or two. They all have a specific range that they can price the different hotels to keep the industry competitive.
Since our travel site is private and not available to the general public, the only way someone can access it is with a valid hotel savings code and this is why we do not have to follow the same rules or regulations when it comes to how much we can charge or how low we can charge.
Our travel site also waives all commissions that would normally be earned by public travel sites (this is how they make money and commissions earned are up to 50%!, now you understand why they are so rich?) and this is a big reason why if your customers books on our non public, non regulated travel site using their travel dollars they could save up to 50% off when compared side by side to the public travel sites.
The certificates are not a gift cards. They are actually savings cards. The difference between our Hotel Savings Card vs. an actual gift card is that while both offer cash value, a savings card offers savings on purchases, but does not automatically offer the chance to use the full cash value at one time the way a gift card would. The savings is based on PUBLIC PRICE VS SAVINGS PRICE.
The amount of savings depends on each individual hotel, room size, dates of travel, length of stay and many other factors. The savings can range UP TO 50% off normal public pricing when compared to travel sites such as www.expedia.com or even www.orbitz.com
To illustrate: Say an end user redeems a $200 Hotel Savings Card. They are then given $200 in savings to use on booking a hotel or resort. Let’s say the customer selects a 2-night hotel stay and the total cost for the stay is $200 PUBLIC PRICE. Would the end user automatically be able to use the full $200 on that hotel stay, and get the hotel stay for only $0? No, never. This is the case if the end user had a "Gift Card"
It would not be far-fetched, however, to be able to save $100 on that $325 booking, making it $225. Also (and this is very important), it is very common to save hundreds of dollars even thousands of dollars on more luxury lengthier stays.
To give an example of what we mean: Let’s say an end user redeems the $500 Hotel Savings Certificate. They then search inventory and find a 7 Night Resort stay at a luxury resort, with a total cost for the 7 Nights at $2500 PUBLIC PRICE. Would the end user likely be able to use the full $500 credit to that $2,500 cost, making the end cost $2,000? Yes. This is likely.
But again, the amount of savings depends on each individual hotel, room size, dates of travel, length of stay and many other factors.
