Vegas Vengeance - An APAT Adventure........AKA "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bar"
pables:
Agencies usually buy up a shedload of packages at a cut down price and sell them on at a small margin, or they"re
con men and they clean up ;D

Why is there such a disparity between hotel prices direct and those through an agent at the mo?
Example:
Direct
IP Deluxe Luv Tub - Direct price $669.76=£446.51
- Through Asda travel=£240.31
There must be catch, but I can"t find it.
anyone know why and how they can do it?

I can"t find the IP at Asda Travel for the selected dates (17/11 - 24/11). Is that what you"re looking at?

Just checked by searching "Hotel only" again and it definitely there at £240.31
and its not just the IP (I just like the Luv Tub) its most of the hotels...
I"ve read the Ts&Cs and can"t find any mention of additional charges later ...

Nope....still not coming up for me.
EDIT: Found it...had selected 2 guests by mistake.
Odd that they"d not show it for two people...Luv Tub for one?
Paulie_D:
How do they do it?
Frankly I don"t know, other than what Ian said...but that"s a VERY good price. I must look deeper.
Of course, you have to pay up front and they get to hold on to your money for 9 months. My only concern is that the room type might not be available when you arrive...they don"t guarantee that in the T & C.
Of course, Asda are part of Walmart who are HUGE in the US. That might help.

It"s not per person, based on 2 sharing, type of clause is it?
Because that would fit the other details.
I don"t know the t&c"s of it but I think the whole chain have some kind of lowest rate guarantee - so it seems improbable that you"d be able to find cheaper that they couldn"t
