Can I get a discount when I book a hotel for a long-term business trip? I don't know which platform to choose

Because of my work, I have been traveling a lot these two years. At the craziest time, I go out for 20 days a month. At the most exaggerated time, I traveled through three or four cities in a week. It takes time to reflect on which city you are in every day. Because I stayed in hotels most of the time, I began to seriously study how to book high-value hotels with good quality and low price.

Because of the business trip system, our accommodation expenses are fixed, so we should try our best to make ourselves comfortable with limited resources.

Hotel official website:

The simplest and rudest way to register as a member in the hotel official website is to exchange points for you. Don't think that you don't need to register as a member when the travel company reimburses you, and ignore this way of getting points for bonus hunter!

It is free to register as a member in official website! Just fill in your personal information and you can enjoy the treatment of nursing home after registration, such as discount, free room upgrade, breakfast points and so on.

After that, what you need to do is to pay more attention to membership activities, and there are often discounts to buy points to change rooms ~ for example, Hilton double points+double night rewards and Hilton new members register to enjoy up to 5000 points rewards, and points can be changed rooms!

You can enjoy better hotel service during your trip, or you can change hotels to relax during your vacation.

Atour Hotel, China Hotel Club and Hilton are my usual business hotel brands.

Hotel store:

Sometimes a business trip requires staying in the same place for a while. At this time, you can directly talk to the hotel owner about the discount. Direct long-term agreement with the hotel, the price is very beautiful, basically 5-7 fold off the platform, such as a hotel in Chongqing, Ctrip price is about 1000, and our company is about 500, which is also a good welfare for employees.

Third-party platform OTA promotion

OTA platform is Ctrip, Meituan and other platforms. In order to increase the number of users, the agents of these platforms will regularly provide preferential activities for users. However, in many cases, booking hotels directly on these platforms is not cheap directly in official website, and there is no big rebate and full reduction of red envelopes. These are the two platforms I used when I was on a business trip:

Meituan: It mainly covers third-and fourth-tier cities and has a competitive advantage in the field of low-star hotels. Now it is also beginning to March into high-end hotels. The number of hotels is small and the prices are generally low. When I visited the hotel, Meituan gave me a platinum member, and the benefits included free room upgrade, 10% membership discount, late check-out and so on.

Ctrip: Positioning high-end, mainly providing in-depth services for families and business people. I am also used to booking rooms in Ctrip when I am on a business trip. Domestic high-end hotels (4 or 5 stars), accounting for 70%-80%, have self-operated manual customer service.

Credit card? Air mileage points redemption

If you travel for a long time, flying is inevitable. Don't waste the mileage of the plane. Before booking, you can check whether the bank to which the credit card belongs has related hotel exchange activities, such as Accor hotels. Just select the partner and add the airline name in my point redemption, and the mileage will be automatically converted into points.

salted fish

Salted fish is really a treasure platform. The hotel price above is just like a bug, and it needs to have its own resolution. The above after-sales service is not guaranteed, and it is easy to complain and be struck by lightning. As for how these cheap hotels come from, there are various ways. In short, risks and discounts coexist.

I hope the sharing method can help everyone ~
