QuikBook, the hotel consolidator, is offering a $15 Amazon.com gift certificate when you book and stay by March 31 with promotion code AMMI (one per customer, gift certificate delivered by email within 30 days).

QuikBook is a pretty useful tool, though with limited application. It sells only hotel rooms, and then only in some major cities. But its rates are often better than the other travel websites (other than Priceline, for instance, when PL has inventory). In many cases it is buying and reselling rooms, so even when hotels are more or less sold out QuikBook may still have inventory. When there were no rooms to be had in New York City at any price (other than the Howard Johnsons at Penn Station for $220 and similar), I managed to get the Holiday Inn Midtown for $150. And when there were no rooms at all in DC, I managed the Radisson in Alexandria for $120 — even though the Radisson said it was sold out.

So it’s worth keeping this one in your back pocket.
