Can I get discounts on hotel bookings for long-term business trips? I don’t know which platform to choose?

Due to work reasons, I have traveled very frequently in the past two years. At the most crazy time, I was away 20 days a month. At the most exaggerated time, I traveled to three or four cities a week. It took time to react every day when I woke up. Find out which city you are in. Since I stayed in hotels most of the time, I began to seriously study how to book an inexpensive and good-looking hotel.

Because of the business trip system, our accommodation costs are fixed, and we have to work hard to make ourselves comfortable with limited resources.

Hotel official website:

The simplest and crudest way to register as a member on the hotel's official website is to exchange points for you. Don't think that you don't need to register as a member because the company reimburses you for business trips, and you ignore the points. This way!

It is free to register as a member on the official website! Just fill in your personal information. After registration, you can enjoy the benefits of a nursing home, including discounts, free room upgrades, breakfast points, etc.

What you have to do after that is to pay more attention to membership activities. There are often discounts to buy points and room exchanges at discounts ~ such as Hilton’s double points and double nights rewards and Hilton’s new member registration to enjoy up to 5,000 Points are rewarded and can be exchanged for rooms!

The points saved through hard work and accommodation during business trips can allow you to enjoy better hotel services during your trip, or you can change hotels to relax during your vacation.

Atour Hotel, Huazhu Club, and Hilton are all my favorite hotel brands for business trips.

Hotel stores:

Sometimes you need to stay in the same place for a while on a business trip. At this time, you can directly negotiate discounts with hotel stores. We have a long-term agreement directly with the hotel, and the price is very good. The basic price is 50-30% off the platform. For example, for a hotel in Chongqing, the Ctrip price is about 1,000, and for our company, it is about 500. It is also a good benefit for employees.

Third-party platform OTA promotion

OTA platforms are platforms such as Ctrip and Meituan. In order to increase the number of users, the agents of these platforms will also regularly provide preferential activities to users. But most of the time, if you book a hotel directly on these platforms, there is no large rebate, and when the red envelope is fully reduced, it is not as cheap as placing an order directly on the official website. These are the two platforms I have used on business trips:

Meituan: Mainly covering third- and fourth-tier cities, it has a competitive advantage in the field of low-star hotels, and is now also beginning to enter high-end hotels. There are fewer hotels and prices are generally lower. When I was browsing the hotel, Meituan gave me a platinum membership. The benefits include free room upgrade, 10% member discount, late check-out, etc.

Ctrip: Positioned as a high-end hotel, it mainly provides in-depth services for families and business people. I am also used to booking rooms on Ctrip when I travel on business. Domestic high-end hotels (4 or 5 stars) account for 70-80% and have self-operated manual customer service.

Credit card? Redeem airline mileage points

Long-term business trips inevitably involve flying, so don’t waste the miles on the plane. Before booking a room, you can check whether the bank where your credit card belongs has any hotel-related redemption activities. For example, for Accor hotels, you only need to select a partner in My Points Redemption and add the airline name to automatically convert the miles into points.

Xianyu

Xianyu is really a treasure platform. The hotel prices on it are like bugs. At the same time, you need to have the ability to identify them. The after-sales service on it is not guaranteed and it is easy to complain. There is no way, it is easy to step on the trap and get cheated. As for how the cheap hotels above come from, there are various ways. In short, risks and discounts coexist.

I hope the method shared can help everyone~
