What's Inside Kayak's New Private Sale?

January 29, 2010 at 9:03 AM | by | Comment (1)

Yesterday, Kayak kicked off its promised flash sale format for hotel deals. Unlike the sample sales conducted at Jetsetter and the private sales over at Tablet Hotels, the Kayak sale is open to anyone who signs up for the Kayak newsletter (funny, we signed up but never got the notice yesterday.)

Nevertheless, the New York Times reports the sale included such properties like :

The Bryant Park Hotel in New York City ($325, down from $420), the Mondrian in Los Angeles ($240, down from $357) and the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs ($115, down from $309).

And unlike Tablet and Jetsetter, the sale will last for a week or until inventory runs out. The flash sales will happen every Thursday and you must sign up with Kayak to be able to access them.

So far, we're not that thrilled with these offerings but maybe it's because we're private-saled out. Also, we're still finding better deals on blind booking sites like Hotwire. But we're definitely happy to have these sales in the mix when booking our next hotel stay.

Still using my Good 'Ole Reliable Source

I did not know that Kayak actually sold anything. I use it for comparing airline prices mostly, but does anyone know how their system works? I have used Tablet before and it was ok, I was a little upset that their "Tablet Amenities" are only given to you if you pay them to be a member, I would rather belong to a free rewards program. I don't want to pay for a room and then pay again to get special amenities.  

Currently I still use my Go-To site Quikbook. I still have not found another site that doesn't make you pay up front and continues to provide great rates.
