Travelocity Now Offering Hotel Guests a Price Guarantee
The economy may not be feeling back to its old self, but there is more good news for hotel guests looking to get a better deal.
Travelocity announced today that it would not only eliminate change and cancel fees for hotels and vacation packages and offer guests a special $50 discount for travel but that it would also offer a price guarantee, something that other online travel booking sites have yet to do.
A price guarantee is a common feature found on hotel's websites which allow guests who find a lower room rate elsewhere to receive that lower rate instead of whatever the hotel is offering. It's a nifty little way for guests to sort of negotiate with hotels to get a better rate. For hotels, it keeps guests booking directly through their site, rather than with a third-party booking site, with whom they usually have to split a sort of commission.
Price guarantees are offered on other booking sites but it usually only applies to lower prices found on that specific site. What Travelocity has done is to offer a price guarantee for guests who find a lower rate anywhere else online up until the day of check-in (The exception is any sort of "Name Your Own Price" bookings.)
Sweetening the new price guarantee offer is a $50 discount on Travelocity which can be applied to future travel through the end of the year. To learn more, and to possibly to start booking your next hotel stay, go to www.travelocity.com/guarantee.
