Or travel agents for that matter. The quotes you get are generally more than what you would pay if you booked direct (and you miss out on other benefits).

I called a hotel once and told them their competition one block down was roughly $20 cheaper per night. The hotel offered to match their rate and their complementary benefits. In addition, they threw in free breakfast and video game console rental (PS3, but I ain't even mad tho).

I get corporate discounts on flights with certain airlines so I usually go that route when booking flights.

Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889.

Is there any value in using booking websites for airfare or accomodation?
