History

The website was founded in June 2005 by Alex Saint, Troy Collins, and Andrew Bredon.[2][3]

The site was awarded second place in the Best Travel Website category at the 2007 Telegraph Travel Awards.[4]

In November 2010, dealchecker launched a luxury travel club, Secret Escapes.[5]

in 2011, the company was acquired by French online travel publishers EasyVoyage.[3][6] This prompted a change in management as Saint and Collins left to develop Secret Escapes. Mark Attwell joined dealchecker as managing director from his previous position as e-commerce chief at comparethemarket.com.[7]

Hotel search was added in 2008 and cruise search was added in 2012.[8]
