What it does

Search TicketsAtWork (EBG corporate perks) for hotels, theme park tickets, attractions, and rental cars via Patchright. Often beats portals by 10-30%. Use when comparing hotel or ticket prices for a trip.

TicketsAtWork

Scrapes inventory from ticketsatwork.com, a corporate employee perks platform operated by Entertainment Benefits Group (EBG). Members access negotiated rates through their employer's account.

No public API. Patchright (undetected Playwright fork) is required because TaW is behind bot protection that blocks requests, vanilla Playwright, and headless Chrome.

Why TaW matters for travel hacking

TaW aggregates inventory from EBG's negotiated wholesale pool (similar inventory feeds as Costco Travel, AAA, etc.). On the same property + dates, TaW often beats:

  • The hotel's direct booking
  • Booking.com / Hotels.com / Expedia
  • Chase Travel (UR portal) and Amex Travel (MR portal)
  • Even Amex FHR / THC and Chase Edit on properties not in those programs

Discount badges are typically genuine: the "Save $X" amount is computed against the hotel's published rate at search time.

Tradeoff: No portal credits, no card-program elite benefits, no points earning on the stay. You earn TaW "Funlife" loyalty points usable at ~1 cpp on future TaW bookings only.

Capabilities

SubcommandWhat it doesStatus
hotelsHotel search by city + date range. Returns ~10-200+ properties with prices, savings vs strike rate, lat/lng, ratings, distanceStable
carsRental car search by pickup location + date/time rangeExperimental. TaW resolves the autocomplete latlng but not always the airport code their car backend needs. Some valid-looking searches return "no cars at this location" even for major airports. See "Known limitations" below.
ticketsBrowse a category landing page (e.g. disneyland, wdw, usf) or keyword-search via ReflektionStable. Returns deal title, savings claim, description, image, detail URL. Prices are not on the listing, they appear on the detail page.
