Hot Deals
Yuupon says it is ushering in a "new era of online travel deals, replacing its former flash model with new flexibility and hundreds of additional bargain travel options" at up to 60% off.
"We’ve done away with the limits of Flash sales that people grew frustrated with, and created an even better model, providing travelers new access to thousands of deals, and not just hotels, every day of the year," said Yuupon founder and online travel entrepreneur, Mary Song.
Instead of a handful of deals each week that other flash and deal models offer, "Yuupon’s daily options now include thousands deeply discounted hotel and resort stays to rental cars, air fare, even full vacation packages (with air) and cruises at a fraction of the cost of other travel sellers," the site says.
Examples at newYuupon.com include a 3-star hotel, the Holiday Inn Express Universal Studios starting at $60; a 4-star Bahamas Hilton Hotel in Nassau from $132; a 4-star Manhattan hotel from $220; and a 4-star La Vegas Hotel from $76.
