Triptease popup
I did a price check at the PH St. Kitts and then got a pop-up from "triptease". I have actually blocked popups and adds.
Anybody else seen this?

Hate it
Got this several times today while searching different properties and days on the Hyatt website. Looks no different than the scammy ones and makes a pretty good, clean user experience into one where I’m no longer confident I’m safe. I seriously thought I was hacked by malware.
its gotta go.
its gotta go.

!st time in a little while I've tried searching on hyatt.com for hotels - and then the triptease.io side popup showed. Tried changing settings in chrome but the thing won't go away after selecting a rate for a property.
Anyone have _any_ success in blocking this thing?

I can't figure out how to make it go away, and I don't think it is supposed to be of any use to us.
At least when I've seen it, it always shows Hyatt.com as the cheapest booking engine, so I'm assuming it is simply a marketing gimmick to make people believe they get the best deal by booking at hyatt.com.
The fact that I don't see it each time I search suggests that those are the times when booking elsewhere would be cheaper.
Of course, I'm putting a lot of faith that the Hyatt IT and marketing folks did this on purpose, and I probably shouldn't be placing a lot of faith in the Hyatt website to be programmed so well.
