Where do the deals come from?
Our deal desk works directly with tour operators, cruise lines, hotels and a small number of wholesale partners. Every offer links out to the operator so you book with them directly.
Do I pay more by booking through this site?
No. The rate on the card is the rate the operator publishes. If you book through one of our links we may earn a commission from the operator, and it never changes your price.
How often do deals change?
The board is refreshed every day and the email goes out twice a month. Expired offers are pulled as soon as the operator tells us.
Can I advertise my property here?
Yes — sponsored cards, hero features and dedicated sends are all available. The media kit, rates and audience data live on the Advertise page.
