Yesterday we talked about what to do when airline ticket prices go down. What about when hotel prices go down? This is usually an easy one. You book your hotel room and can almost always cancel anywhere between 24 and 72 hours in advance. The exception is if you have a pre-paid rate or bid on Priceline.
Yesterday I talked about my brother-in law, Bruce, making plane reservations. Today Bruce was checking on hotel rates. He was hoping that a school teacher could maybe get the government rate, which was $50 cheaper a night at the hotel he was looking into. The hotel said that was a "No go." I told him if he booked now hopefully the rate would go down. There has to be an easier way than checking the hotel rates every day. Luckily, there is.
Yesterday we talked about Yapta for plane prices going down, well it also works for hotels prices too. Click here to track hotels. Once you find the hotel you want look for the orange bubble that says, "track price drops" and click on it (see the sample below). Yapta will send you an email when the price drops. Make sure you make your new reservation before canceling the old and always make sure you are within the time frame allowed to cancel.
