Does anyone have any experience with ID90.com?....I'm looking into using it to get some discounts on travel, but I don't know if it'll be worth the membership fee....yeah I know it's only 3 bucks a month, but that's an extra beer or two.....

My experience with ID90 (using the link through coair) is that you can only use it to calculate an airfare (based on the zones covered by the route which very depending on mileage and the airline) and that you cannot use it to purchase the actual which ticket. This has to come from the airline you work for or have pass rider privileges through who will actually issue you a circa 1950's paper ticket ......now how ID90.com and the airlines calculate and process all of this crap is a bit of voodo magic and you really need to talk to someone (in the airline travel office) who has done this before because there are allot of desk agents out there who will look at you like Santa Clause when you ask for this.....one last thing, many airlines will not recognize your pass riders (what happened to me)as eligable for ID90 and I have even heard stories about about actual employes being turned down for a verity of reasons which is all the more reason why you need to talk to someone knowledgeable.
 
Just contact your pass bureau or some (most?) airlines compute it right there on their TravelNet (or equiv) website.

Personally, I have zero use for it.
 
I never saw the use for these sites since ID 90 travel is offline and seats are not guaranteed.

An ID 90 traveler has the lowest boarding priority. Since regular active online employees have a difficult time non-reving these days because of the lack of seats, an employee traveling "offline" doesn't stand a chance of getting a seat on many popular routes. You could be stuck somewhere for days trying to get a seat.

You can calculate the ID90 fare yourself. It's usually 10% of the unrestricted fare price (plus taxes) which can be found on many sites like travelocity and orbitz.

I wouldn't spend the $3 a month on this.

No, no, no, I'm not talking about ID90 travel....I know all about that, and am actually one of the ticket agents that will not look at you like you are santa clause and will be able to issue it if you work for my airline, and if you come to me with one, I can list you (I actually try to be good at my job unlike a lot of people that do this...)....what I'm talking about is ID90.com which advertises travel discounts (hotels, resorts, tours...that kind of stuff) above and beyond what I can get just for working for an airline....from what I can see is that it is much like perx.com only more worldwide and not so focused on Mexico and the Carribean. They have a membership, but you have to pay 3 bucks a month, and I didn't want to make the investment (however small) if it wasn't going to be worth it above and beyond what I can get working for the airlines.

And to B767, Village Inn in Holland, MI for MNF.......85 cent drafts after 9 and free pizza at halftime if you are sitting at the bar
 
Had a coworker who used this. I wouldn't bother. They didn't have rates that were any better than the 100's of other travel deal sites out there that you don't need to pay for.
