    I really like Travelzoo. I get e-mails from them weekly on deals. I've also taken advantage of a few of them. Back in February they had deals to Hawaii from Chicago for less than $400! We would've went if hadn't just came back from Disney.

    I've been doing some research. They are on Forbe's list on a top list of recent companies (or something like that)...but I would assume that if Forbes writes about them...they are 'legit'.

    Are you sure you understand what TravelZoo is? It's not a travel agent...it doesn't book anything and it doesn't take any money from you. It aggregates deals that it finds (or that travel companies make available to Travel Zoo) and has a search engine that goes to other travel sites to find the deals on those sites.

    If you think that TravelZoo is trying to sell something to you directly, you've probably run into a scam that has nothing to do with the company.

    As an example of what it does, sometimes my favorite non-Disney resort (Atlantis-Paradise Island) only advertises specials through TravelZoo. TravelZoo advertises the rate, but you have to book through Atlantis' website or 1-800 number. I've used these deals advertised exclusively through TravelZoo several times without a problem.

    Here's how TZ describes itself...note that it does not describe itself as a travel agent:

    Travelzoo Inc. is a global Internet media company. With more than 15 million subscribers in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Spain, Taiwan Region, the United Kingdom and the United States, Travelzoo is the largest and most trusted publisher of travel deals on the Internet. Travelzoo publishes offers from more than 1,000 advertisers from around the world, with local experts evaluating and testing offers for value and availability. Forbes magazine ranked Travelzoo #6 on its 2006 list of 200 best-run growth companies.

    No,...I had no idea what TravelZoo was exactly....so THANK YOU. I just heard about it the other day (from an advertisement on Facebook) and was just curious.

    I signed up for the emails because I'm just curious as to what will be offered.

    Thank You for clearing it up though. I truly appreciate it!!!!!

    Were the deals that you got astronomically good?

    I can only speak to Atlantis deals on TZ...and they are the best deals you'll ever see for Atlantis....which are nice discounts, but I'd never put them in the astronomical category.

    Recently I was able to take advantage of a great discount to La Nouba that they offered. Pays to read their emails.
