Today I registered for Best Western Rewards new promotion for a $10 Travel Card per stay from November 28 thru January 29, 2017. I have a reservation in three weeks at a Best Western in Austria for 51 EUR per night. That is $54.09 USD for a hotel night with a $10 BWR gift card…
I violated my own rule and booked a nonrefundable room rate at DoubleTree Kosice, Slovakia when I believed I had found a slam dunk best rate guarantee claim. The deal is I booked a prepaid room rate at 63.20 EUR, the lowest rate shown on the Hilton webpage search for my dates. This same hotel…
This post handles two different topics with a report on my Best Western Low Rate Guarantee success in Dallas last week and my attempt today to find another best rate guarantee for a hotel in Krakow compounded by confusing hotel names in this Polish city and best rate guarantee restrictions on international hotel stays. Best…
Yesterday I booked Hyatt Regency New Orleans for $694 for seven nights in June during the annual U.S. Travel Association IPW convention I am attending. Hyatt.com had a published rate of $1,940.77 for the same dates. In a rare occurrence, I booked the low online travel agency rate rather than attempt an even deeper 20%…
Two weeks ago I stayed at SLS Las Vegas, Tribute Portfolio Resort of Starwood Hotels. This same hotel originally signed on as Hilton Curio Collection, then rebranded in November 2015 to Starwood. Apparently the massive 1,600+ rooms hotel has lost loads of money since it opened. It is not only the gamblers that lose their…
Vegas.com has been my best friend lately for getting discount rates at Las Vegas hotels through approved best rate guarantee claims. Yesterday, I checked hotel rates on Kayak.com and found a rate discrepancy for SLS Las Vegas, a member of Starwood Hotels Tribute Portfolio. Starwood Hotels had a flexible rate of $87 and Vegas.com had…
Wyndham Worldwide changed its best rate guarantee policy (BRG) again last month to match a lower rate and award 3,000 Wyndham Rewards points for an approved claim. This is a fairly valuable bonus for a hotel stay at one of the economy or midscale market segment Wyndham brands where rates are typically less than $75 per…
Yesterday I spent about an hour searching for the email with the Best Western Travel Card code I received sometime in June or July last year. I stayed in Brunswick, Georgia at a Best Western last June on a successful low rate guarantee claim on the first night of my ‘Drive Out of Florida’ rental…
The new IHG PointBreaks list will be posted on IHG blog Friday May 22. These hotels at 5,000 points per night are low priced hotels for anyone since you can buy 10,000 IHG Rewards Club points for $70 through IHG Points + Cash rewards. Bookings will open on Tuesday May 26 for the new list…
Kayak.com offered me a Private Deal when I searched hotel rooms in Orlando. Here is a look at three chain brand hotels with a lower rate shown on Kayak.com in Private Deals than the rate listed on the hotel’s own website. Since these are considered member-only rates for Kayak.com users, these rates do not qualify…
