How to save the most accommodation during the trip?

Accommodation articles for stingy travel or experience posts:

1. Travel as far as possible to avoid holidays.

Weekends, Golden Week, winter and summer vacations, and special days such as Valentine's Day, Children's Day and Women's Day should be avoided as much as possible, and working days are the best. The price difference can be half. I once personally experienced about 200 express hotels in Tibet before the real summer vacation, such as series (you know). I only went to Linzhi for one night, and when I came back, it doubled to more than 400 a night.

I don't know whether this rapid price change is reasonable, but the daily fluctuation of hotel prices does exist. Depending on the date, the passenger flow, and even the time of day, the price may be different.

Look at the comparison: working days

Look at the comparison: weekend

2. Book on the online platform in advance.

I believe everyone should have noticed that the price of the front desk is much higher than that of each platform for the same hotel room. So you'd better check the hotel reservation before you go out. Don't go to the store to be a sucker. Of course, there are also friendly hotels, and the waiter will remind you that you can go to the platform to see the price before booking.

3. There will be a price gap if the appointment time is different every day.

This is more detailed, because now some platforms or hotels have launched the activity of changing rooms at night. In other words, if there are vacancies between day and night, some platforms and hotels will offer discounts, and the room price may be 50% off or even lower.

Only this one should pay attention to time, and it is also more casual. Generally speaking, it is valid on the same day, so it may be difficult to book in advance. Suitable for temporary travel, the kind that is not fully prepared, and arrives at the destination late, after ten o'clock. Maybe you can find this kind of night promotion on the platform.

4. Multi-platform comparison

Although several platforms can basically be regarded as one from the source, there are still some differences in prices. You can see them more, even if the price of different mobile phone models is different (Apple face).

I have some habits when I book myself, such as where I will go when I book a plane ticket, and occasionally I will use flying pigs. The basic comparison is to look at these two platforms. When booking a hotel, I will give priority to E Long, because I find that the price of the same hotel in E Long is often lower than other prices, and there may even be a gap of ten or twenty. Ctrip can be the second place, and now it may soon be the first place, because I have seen many people say that hotels are better for Ctrip users, and in order to get favorable comments, they will pay attention to Ctrip customers. I seem to really feel the preferential treatment of Ctrip users, although only an extra room type and a supper.

Of course, there are also some group buying platforms, reviews, and US groups. Can refer to. It's just that I did find that the service quality of group buying customers may decline. More importantly, the price seems to be not cheap, and it may even be a few dollars more expensive, which is unnecessary. Recently, however, it was found that a hotel with a live broadcast group had a pass of 59, 79 or 99. The cheaper ones are working days, and the more expensive ones are also used on weekends. This is a platform voucher. You should see which hotels are available and the reception date. If they are all matched, it is actually quite cost-effective.

5. The platform is open and good at using various coupons and membership rights.

There are many platforms that can be used with each other now. For example, when Alipay reaches a certain level, customers can enjoy various services such as brand hotel upgrades and discounts. Of course, bank credit card users and banks also have many similar activities, so pay more attention. You can even get high-level membership cards or coupons directly. It may be a member of some hotel chain groups, or a member level or coupon of some e-commerce platforms. As long as you pay attention to the applicable platform or hotel, the rules of use, whether there is a threshold, whether to give red envelopes or directly reduce money and return cash. Please pay attention to these rules before using them.

One treasure to be mentioned here is our mobile phone operator. For example, I am a mobile old customer, and the package consumption has reached a certain threshold. I get some benefits every month, such as hotel discount coupons, travel privileges, video platform membership and so on. It's basically free. Of course, some preferential activities that require a little money to cooperate with operators are also good. For example, a few dollars can buy vouchers, and at the same time, the money may also charge the phone bill, which is also great.

6. Understand the membership mechanism and redeem points.

If you travel frequently, travel and travel, you can have several common brand members. These groups are still very friendly to their members. It is common for rooms to be upgraded and discounted. It is also very fragrant to exchange points for free living if you live more. Other value-added services, such as free breakfast, midnight snack and small gifts, are even more.

7. Acquaintance members are similar to their own.

Find out who your friends are, everyone can enjoy it, and friends with discounts can get points. It would be better to have friends who work in hotels. There may be an internal discount.

However, I suggest that you must find reliable and true friends. There are many subscriptions on various social platforms now, which look attractive, but be careful. No money and no place to live, which affects my mood too much.
