Um, welcome to Flyertalk selecttodd......
You will need to provide some additional information for anyone here to bite on your post....

What specific flights did you book, and at what price? How are you comparing "great price", what pricing did you see on other sites? Are there are limitations?

Most of us have no use for "travel professionals" as described on the web site, they are simply a third party, and we can usually find great discount fares through normal web sites, or even direct with an airline...

This "looks" like you are trolling the web site, so let us know why you think the site is so great.... My hunch is that as soon as you give specific details we can find better fares for you...... What did you come up with through Travelocity, Orbitz, Priceline, and the others?

Does the fare you purchased allow for earned miles and ability to UPG? Can you get a seat assigned? If like HW or PL, don't know, would not use either one for flying.

Hmmm - not even any contact info for the domain name

Here's what Network Solutions has for the site:

Administrative Contact , Technical Contact :
Select Travel Club
[email protected]
main street
ny, NY 12345
US
Phone: 123-456-7890

Record expires on 13-Aug-2008
Record created on 13-Aug-2007
Database last updated on 13-Aug-2007


Seems kinda odd to me that there is no valid street address, or phone number for the domain owner.

Okay I'll bite.....I registered and made a request for travel. I'l report back what kind of "deal" I get and how long it takes to recieve said "deal"
Edited by Obscure2k per request of uva185

"I recieved a response to my travel request.....I was quoted a price $100 more than the lowest available price on travelocity"
