Are There Really Deals Out There?

This is a video of a MLM agent that got a fantastic "travel agent" deal of $145 a night at the Renaissance St. Louis Grand & Suites Hotel. The "deal" was not so good since their standard discounted rate is $135 per night. So what are the issues here?

• The claims are inaccurate. For someone looking to buy into the "business opportunity" the claim (in this instance) is just outright false.
• To the consumer, if your "agent" is paying $10 more for the room than the standard lowest published rate for the same room category...what are you paying?
• To the supplier, although this instance is certainly not a special rate, do you really want this splayed over the internet?
