About Deal Inlet

Deal Inlet is an independent editorial publisher built around a single promise: every promo code we list is checked at checkout on a rolling basis. We do not accept advertiser pay-to-play in our coupon listings — brands cannot buy placement in the verified codes section, only display ads in clearly labeled slots elsewhere on the page.

Our team is made up of obsessive travelers who book a lot of hotels: digital nomads chasing all-inclusive deals in Mexico, family travelers stitching together cross-country road trips on Best Western and Holiday Inn rates, business travelers running spreadsheets to extract the last 4% from a Marriott Bonvoy stay. We write the site we wish existed — one where the masked code on the card actually unlocks a working deal at checkout.

Deal Inlet covers the largest hospitality brands in North America, the Caribbean and Europe, including Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, Best Western, Wyndham, Choice Hotels, Radisson, Kimpton, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, W Hotels, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, Courtyard, Holiday Inn, Sheraton, Westin, Motel 6, Extended Stay America, plus the major aggregators (Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com) and the two dominant vacation rental marketplaces (Airbnb, VRBO).

If you want to reach our editorial team, the contact page is the fastest way. We respond to verification reports — “this code didn’t work at checkout for me” — within one business day, and we remove failing codes immediately upon confirmation.

Deal Inlet earns revenue through display advertising and through commissions when readers book through partner links. That commission has zero effect on which codes we publish or how prominently we feature them. The only thing that affects placement is whether the code works.
