This page is filled with referral links, I usually try not to post content unless there is actually some value to the reader but I think some of you might find this helpful plus it helps me out as well. Below is a list of hotel chains or hotel booking sites that offer referral/sign up bonuses. If you use my links, I get something. I haven’t given my links when there is a better sign up bonus.
If you like this site, consider using one of these links to show your appreciation. I’m not going to make a habit of these types of posts, but I thought I’d see how it goes. Hopefully this can be a demonstration that you can blog responsibly, provide useful content and still get some sort of compensation for your time.
Also keep in mind that you should comparison shop before making any bookings, just because something offers you a $25 credit it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find a cheaper price elsewhere.
| What You Get | What I Get | Notes | |
| Hotel Engine | $25 account credit | $25 account credit after you complete your first stay | No minimum booking, only hotels in the US. If your booking is under $50, you can only use $10 in account credit. |
| Orbitz | $25 promo code | $25 in Orbucks | Promo code only lasts a few months. Your booking needs to be over $50 for me to get my credit. Link does not mention $25 bonus, but it will come in the e-mail. |
| AirBnb | $25 | $25 when you book a room, $75 if you host | |
| Marriott Rewards | 2,000 additional points per stay for your first year (max of 5) | 2,000 points per stay (maximum of five) | No direct link, you’ll need to e-mail me ([email protected]) |
| TravelPony | $35 off your first purchase of $200+ (before tax) | $25 in credit after your first stay | |
| Hotel Tonight | $25 account credit | $25 account credit after you book your first room and must spend at least $50 | You need to download the app and enter promo code “WCHARLES14” |
| Rocket Miles | 3,000 Miles after first booking | Nothing, my personal link would only give you 1,000 miles | You can read my review of this service here, sometimes you can get up to 5,000 miles |
| PointsHound | 100 free AA miles for sign up, 2,000 for first booking | Nothing, my personal link would only give you 1,000 miles | You can also get 100 Virgin Atlantic miles + 1,000 after first booking |
| Choice Privileges | 500 points after your first paid stay | 500 points after your first paid stay | Again, you’ll have to e-mail me ([email protected]) and include your first name |
If people actually use the links I’ll consider adding something more permanent to the site and also add other categories like ride sharing and shopping portals. If people don’t I’ll just cry in the corner and try to write better content in the future.
In all seriousness, thank you very much if you do end up using one of the links and apologies to those who have no interest in this sort of stuff.
