= Saving money on your reservations
If you simply go to a popular travel booking site, like Expedia, to book your hotel reservations, you'll wind up paying more for your reservations, while missing out on extra benefits and reward points. To pay less and get more, check out our comprehensive guides to booking airfare, hotels, and rental cars.
Updates
- Get a free Atlantis Resort vacation by taking advantage of status match opportunities created by the Wyndham's acquisition of La Quinta hotels. It has always been easy to get La Quinta to match elite status from other hotels, but it hasn't always been particularly worthwhile. Due to the acquisition you can convert La Quinta elite status into Platinum elite status with the Caesar's Total Rewards program, entitling you to a free annual visit to Atlantis in the Bahamas. /li>
- The Hyatt credit card was recently updated. The new version of the card provides an opportunity to earn a second free night certificate (with $15,000 of spending), as well as earn "qualifying nights" towards Hyatt elite status. The introductory signup offer is 60,000 Hyatt points, making it one of the most valuable signup bonuses, and the card is still not subject to the Chase 5/24 rule. Existing cardholders may not be eligible for the signup bonus, but may want to upgrade their card.
- Chase introduces a business version of the Freedom Unlimited Card. If you are willing and able to use a business credit card for your everyday spending, this is a better version of our top general-purpose reward card. You'll get a much nicer sign-up bonus, and the card won't show up on your personal credit report.
