You aren't always going to be able to use reward points for free travel. Sometimes, you are just going to need to pay for hotels, airplane tickets, and car rentals. When you do, you should pay as little as possible.


Hotels

The "best available rates" for most hotels are supposed to be the same across every website. Hotels have contractual arrangements with travel sites to maintain consistent pricing. However, these arrangements only apply to "standard, publicly available" rates.

It's easy to take advantage of "members-only" rates, "secret" hotel deals, packages and promotions, and various reward programs to get cheaper rates, richer rewards, or better benefits for your hotel reservations.

Airfare

Unlike hotels, prices for airplane tickets are almost always the same on every website.

Saving money on airfare usually isn't about finding a cheaper fare for the same flights. It is about uncovering the cheapest and most convenient flights that fit your travel plan.

Rental Cars

With rental cars, rates vary immensely depending on which site and booking codes you use. There is no pretense that rates are consistent across the web.

Fortunately, there are some quick ways that are likely to find good rates when you need to rent a car.
