Our Verdict
Basically a maximum discount of 25%, I usually use Hotels.com for my bookings (this gives me 10% from their rewards program, plus whatever the portals are offering, plus any coupon codes that are valid with the portals. Usually ends up being a discount of ~20%). I would have definitely used this coupon, but I like staying at non chains and don’t really care for elite status.
Hat tip to Million Mile Secrets
Expedia always offers $25 off $100 coupons when booking with their mobile app. Just used it again yesterday. You just put your phone number into the site, they text you a unique coupon code, and then you book through the app for it work.
Thanks, Ryan.
sorry Doc, but do you ever credit other blogs? I know you’ve built a reputation for getting news out fast, but when you’re not the first you should cite a source.
Did you actually read the post? It clearly says Hat tip to Million Mile Secrets. We probably cite the source more often than anybody else.
