rateshrinker for hotels - mike putman, rovia | a view from the edge 2012

At UNITED we introduced:

Technology designed to shrink your airfares

Recap:

How does work?

1) Purchase ticket from any Rovia Booking Engine

2) RateShrinker goes to work immediately checking

the price of your tickets up until departure

3) When we find a lower price for the same

itinerary, we shrink your old tickets and reissue at

the lower price

For Hotels

How it Works 1) Book your hotel on any Rovia site

2) Once your booking is made, RateShrinker

automatically searches for lower rates for

the same room type - When we find a

lower rate we send you a notification

3) Pre-paid hotels are refunded; Post-paid

hotels will be billed at the lower rate
