To answer the questions. I am a member of a travel club. I paid a small fee to become a member. I was given login information for me personally that I can use to book all my travel, car rental etc. They gurantee the lowest price or they pay the difference. I wanted to know if anyone had an experience with this and wanted to know their experience. I could not get an answer so I joined and so far I am very happy. The reason I was asking is because the one I found I had never heard of so I was uncertain but when I compared it to the ones I had heard of it looked good so I took the chance. It was not much money and so far I have paid for it twice. I am sure I can't give out the name of I get banned or something. I am just now learning the rules of the site.

Sounds like a booking site disguised as something else except with most sites you don't have to pay to join.

Whilst I don't know (nor want to know) what club OP has paid to join any of the "we are cheapest or will refund" work on a strict "like for like" so whilst you may find the same flight cheaper elsewhere the elsewhere might not offer something trivial you don't want anyway (eg a phone helpline service, etc.) even trivial differences in what you've purchased void any "cheapest or refund".

Thanks for the imput. So far I haven't needed to use that service so I don't know. I do know that they say that for the guarantee it must be 'exactly' the same but there again I have not used that so i don't know.

FYI. I am taking the family to GA this thanksgiving so I rented a car. The company wanted $628 the club $491 - ''' same exact SUV '''.

Maybe same car. But are all other T+C also the same? For example: free milea, coverage of insurance, a.s.o. I doubt. Because no rental company gives special prices to any "Club".

Caveat emptor.

It's not unusual for a company to be quoting very different prices through different booking methods.

Ian - you are right. Go to any travel site Expedia etc and you will get a different price on different ones.
