TravelPony.com any good?
I'm booking a trip to Vegas. Discovered www.travelpony.com. Prices for hotels seem to be awesome, but you need to sign up to see them. Sort of an opaque, members only site. Wondering if anyone else has had a chance to give it a spin and actually booked anything yet?

I've seen several referrals for TravelPony on FT, but with referral links, it's hard to know whether these posters are doing it for their own benefit for the benefit of the FT community.
I think the OP's question stands: Is TravelPony any good? Would anyone be willing to share the deals (hotels & prices) they've gotten?

I've just booked for the Crowne Plaza Singapore for S$220 for a Deluxe + Breakfast instead of S$380 on IHG so the answer is definitely yes. It's worth noting that the PROWINNER code reduces the total cost by US$50 if the hotel stay is more than US$200 - and I don't get any benefit out of this.
One major disadvantage with the website is that the number of cities are seriously restricted (especially if you're looking at a destination outside of USA). Also, the range of hotels that are available while limited, change on a daily basis (with a couple of recurring ones).

Keep severe limitations in mind, it seems like hotels are cheaper on TravelPony when it gets closer to the date.
