In an effort to compete with hotel loyalty programs, online travel sites are enhancing their own rewards programs. If you’re not committed to a particular brand, they’re worth a look.
Expedia’s new rewards feature, Add-On Advantage, lets customers add a discounted hotel stay to their itinerary if they’ve booked a flight, car or vacation package through Expedia. You receive up to 43% off the room and can wait until the day of your trip to snag a bed.
Today’s Daily Drop from Hotel Tonight, available on its mobile app, is similar to Add-On Advantage but with a catch: Once you swipe to take the offer, you have 15 minutes to seal the deal. You can choose dates within a 100-day window. The feature is available in 300 markets so far, and you can swipe only once per day. If you don’t see a price drop, it could mean there are no deals in that location that day.
