I’ve written several times, though not lately, about using Club1 Hotels in the arsenal for finding a great hotel deal. Since they’re a ‘membership site’ (you can sign up for a free membership) they can show hotel rates that are cheaper than what you’ll find on a hotel’s own website, evading Best Rate Guarantees.
Club1 isn’t cheaper on every stay at first search, but readers have saved thousands even on a single stay. They do guarantee savings on every booking and offer price matching. But even better they’re offering 10% off their already-discounted pricing with promo code VFTW10 for bookings made by February 15, 2021.
When you book through a ‘third party’ site you may not earn hotel points or credit towards elite status, but you can save money so considering buying the room type you actually want to stay in rather than hoping for an upgrade.
It’s worth signing up for free to check their prices so you at least know if there’s real savings available on each stay. And any hotels you may be booking in the next week definitely check them out because you can stack their wholesale rate with 10% discount code VFTW10.
Gary,
Appreciate this but navigating Club1 tech is horrendous. Minutes to pull up rates for a property and then, I’m not joking here, HUNDREDS of rates for a hotel. Would take an entire day to search for and make a booking. I gave up
Yes, you can get good deals booking through Club1but your giving up acceptable customer service if purchase through them. When the pandemic hit, I had to cancel a $3k resort stay in Hawaii. Club1 doesn’t offer any customer service over the phone, only through email. It was frustrating trying to communicate this way and determine if there was any nuanced options for a refund or credit. I ultimately had to call resort directly and they called Club1 to resolve.
