Is this an auction or bid type site. I didn't sign up to enter but I did look at the Terms. They say you buy 'credits' to use to purchase hotels. Is the entire site operated this way?

Not a big fan of that type of landing page. I think they should provide a little more info about the company before asking for your contact infor.

Thank you all for the reply and @hawkeyetough88 that's funny I didn't even see any auctions on the site itself. I see what you saw though in their terms page. But no "auction" tab.

How it worked was I saw the hotel listed, clicked the "request info" button, and then got a personalized email an hour later with details of the cost, etc. They said if I wanted to book to let them know our names and they would send a link to a secure booking page.

I mean they seem fine, and again their rates were competitive. But scarce user-base right now. Anyone else?

I wouldn't do it. When I fly a great distance from home and arrive tired at a destination I don't want to worry that to save a few dollars there may be a problem with my booking.

Have you checked into using one of the bidding type websites such as Priceline or Hotwire? They do have their problems, but it might be a viable option for you.

So I guess nobody around these parts has used them then. They have a lot of PR - they've got articles on USAToday, NYTimes, HuffPo, etc., which is much more than most agents have. If anyone knows feel free to post away. They come off very friendly/smart, etc.

I didn't worry about the sign up process by the way, just their rep as a booking agent. Gilt Group did this in the beginning as does Pinterest, etc. It's a traffic builder. Thanks again!!!!

Will you post links to the NY Times, USA Today, and Huffington Post articles about this company, please?

I found a couple of blogs on Huffington Post. huffingtonpost.com/travelsort/how-to-fly-fir…

They seem to be blogs written by someone associated with Travel Sort, not unbiased reviews of the company.

Blogs are all I found.

The OP says, " They have a lot of PR - they've got articles on USAToday, NYTimes, HuffPo, etc., which is much more than most agents have."

Maybe the OP can clarify what 'articles' they found.

@hawkeyetough88 please no need for the tone I just did a google search for travelsort.com and travelsort. I'm in the same boat and I nicely asked if anyone ever used them, that's all, not open up to sarcastic negativity.

But to answer the question I just googled again / took a closer look and przyk is right its mainly press releases and syndicated posts, and the links I saw were to articles written by their team but placed on those sites mentioned.

So I dunno - still if anyone ends up using them pls let us know. It would be very helpful to hear some input. Thanks again.
