DealBase.com Announces New Hotel Deal Alerts: World’s First Personalized Travel Deal Newsletter
Customized Alerts Report on Best Deals That Match Travelers’ Preferences

SAN MATEO, CA–(Marketwire – July 1, 2009) – DealBase.com, a next-generation hotel deals web site, today released hotel deal email alerts that are fully customizable to a traveler’s preferences. Travelers tell DealBase.com which destinations they want to visit (out of over 700 destinations), the star ratings of hotels they prefer, and the maximum nightly rate they want to pay, and DealBase.com sends email alerts about deals that match their preferences.

“In this time of amazing travel deals, everyone wants to be the first to know about the best savings and insider discounts,” said Sam Shank, CEO. “DealBase.com’s comprehensive deal alerts empowers travelers by sending relevant offers and insider savings opportunities, so you can get these deals before they sell out.”

For example, for a traveler that indicated an interest in Las Vegas and New York City hotel deals at four and five star hotels under $200/night, DealBase would send deal alerts for the Hard Rock Casino at $55/night (70% savings) and the Westin Times Square at $199/night including breakfast (37% savings).

“DealBase.com’s innovative hotel deal alerts are the 2.0 version of travel deal newsletters,” commented Howard Love, Chairman. “Unlike traditional hotel deal emails that send the same content to every subscriber, DealBase Alerts will only send you information on great deals for your favorite places and hotels while bypassing deals you don’t care about.”

Consumers can sign up now for free hotel deal alerts at www.DealBase.com/alerts.
