so you're looking for instant discounts
when you book hotels
check out this video
hey guys welcome back to the channel
here at trip review we try and give you
guys advice
on tips and tricks and saving money as
you travel the world and so
a lot of my friends know that for work i
get to travel quite a bit i stay in a
lot of hotels i stay a lot of airbnbs
and personally i love to take my family
with me and we like to go on adventures
and i love to make good memories with
them
and we travel a lot now with that said
it costs a lot of money when you book a
ton of hotels and so in this video i
want to show you guys how i save money
hundreds if not thousands of dollars
over the course of the past year
on just booking hotels with this simple
trick okay you guys ready
i just got back from a five six week
vacation trip
work trip whatever you want to call it i
spent about four weeks in the boise
idaho area and i spent another week in
mammoth
and outside of friends hooking us up
with an epic cabin in mammoth
most of this we had to pay out of pocket
besides one of the resorts we filmed out
they they hooked us up with the
combination because that just kind of
goes with the package
so with that said i want to show you
guys how we saved
over a thousand dollars just by booking
hotels
in this way and this way is really
simple all you need to do
is book your hotel one to two days
before you plan to stay where you
when you need it now this works really
well especially
in this era because not only are we
getting crazy discounts with hotels
but there's not a lot of people
traveling and so
the competition for availability isn't
really there so you don't have to worry
about that
so what i want to show you guys with my
screen right now i love to use priceline
just because i
personally feel like this shows me the
best discounts and it's the cleanest
less spammy
but you can use whatever you like but i
find a lot of success with priceline
i've been using this
past five years what i want to do is i'm
in southern california right now but
let's just say i want to visit my
brother up in seattle and so let's
visit seattle and we're going to book it
for this weekend so
the 24th through the 26th when it's
typically peak pricing
and we're going to find our hotel and we
want to make sure we're staying at
something with the standard so we're
going to do four star only
so you guys can see the difference here
and then we're going to filter this by
customer rating
because what i want to do here is i want
to open up a new tab
so we can compare prices from this
weekend compared to a month from now so
you guys can see the difference
so we opened up a new tab we're going to
go ahead and create this window here
and we're going to update the dates to
be august 28th through the 30th
we're going to update the search
okay so from the get-go you see
cedarburg lodge at the same price
um let's scroll down but as you can see
pet friendly you can see the difference
already
131 compared to 156 but let's continue
to scroll
so we're going to go down you see grand
hyatt
same price but you start to see a little
bit of difference when you do the hyatt
regency in bellevue i've actually stayed
there
make sure you guys don't drive you don't
have a vehicle because they do not have
parking it's miserable trying to find a
space okay as we continue to scroll down
you start seeing a little bit of
discounts
already you're saving 20 20 bucks so
that's that's pretty good
you look at the four-star hotel 112
compared to
124 so that saves you a little bit let's
start looking a little bit more let's go
mayflower let's compare
the maf maybe where'd the mayflower go
there we go mayflower so you already
start to see a little bit more
difference uh 125 compared to 142.
you're saving 30 bucks out the door just
like that let's continue to scroll
we have that's why because i didn't say
four stars dir no wonder okay we're
gonna go back to the mayflower so you
see the mayflower here
um there we go mayfly
is up here so now let's compare the west
end 153 to 179
now you're starting to see a little bit
more discounts that's about 50 bucks in
savings over 50 right there
uh the sheraton 172 to 159
let's let's look at the kempton well
that's a big deal right there you got
359 compared to 233 okay so as you can
see that's quite a bit of savings right
there that's 120 bucks 110 bucks right
there and savings that you get
just by booking last second compared to
booking and being a planner
now i will say when the world is normal
and you know you're going to go to a
city with a lot of events like maybe
like an epic football game or something
like that
you don't want to typically do this
method but for normal
travel accommodation you don't really
care where you stay as long as it's a
three star above or whatever you can
your standards may be a little lower
than mine it's fine doesn't matter no
judgment if you want to stay
and save even more more money but i just
wanted to show you how you could save
hundreds if not thousands of dollars if
you use
this simple trick now comment below let
me know how much you've saved
