Value trips

[ballonewb]

Has anyone used value trips to book the Hyatt in Fort Lauderdale.  I submitted the form on Saturday and got the confirmation email this morning.  
 

is this legit?  It’s 136 with tax vs booking with Hyatt direct was 290

 

thanks in advance

Update.  I chatted with Hyatt and was able to get my room added to my account. So I can see my room on Hyatt’s website and shows the price I was given. 
 

Happy that I’m saving 150 plus

We have been using this discount for well over 5 years now. Have 2 days pre, and 2 days post cruise this coming May for our 10 day Princess cruise. Love the hotel, its location to food in the Harbor Shops area ( 2 blocks walk), very close to airport(less than 3 miles), and the port(1 1/2 miles) There is a free buss that runs from the Harbor Shops to the beach like every hour ( 5-7 min ride) Free breakfast, clean rooms, Very friendly staff. If you arrive early, just leave you luggage with staff ( I tip them $5 ) and walk over to Duffy's Bar& Grill for lunch. They will text you when they have a room ready. We love the place.

We stayed here this past October and enjoyed our stay other than the fire alarm going off at 3am. 
 

I just wish I knew about this prior to the last trip.

We always use ValueTrips when we can. Unfortunately our date this year is an exception on their site.

I submitted my request to valuetrips almost a week and have heard no response.  What does it take typically for them to book?   

[nhraformula00]

Try calling the hotel directly and ask if they have your reservation. Valutrips can sometimes take 7-10 for there email. We have always been approved.

is this rate including taxes ?

I would email them and ask. It took 4 days for my confirmation.

I sent email too.  It has been 3 days with no response.  I will do a new booking with new email on Monday if I don't hear from them.

What dates are the 2 of you trying to get? They have blackout dates on the bottom of the page. Post your dates. Sometimes they can be very slow to get back to you.

No, but it is considerably less expensive as booking with the hotel, and others in the area.

I finally got a response.  It took almost 12 days. However, my date was no longer available.

It does happen if they are filled up. I would try Trivago.
