[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Hotels' Best Rate Guarantee policy” css=”” el_id=”hotels_039_best_rate_guarantee_policy”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Each hotel chain<\/a> has its own best rate guarantee<\/a> policy. Thus, it wants to encourage you to book on their site directly. The goal is to avoid paying a commission to a travel site, such as Expedia<\/a>, Booking.com<\/a> or Hotels.com<\/a>, for the same reservation.<\/p>\n

For example, you’ve booked on Best Western<\/a>‘s website, but you see the same room at the same hotel for less on Expedia. You send a claim form to Best Western. <\/p>\n

They’ll analyze your request and, if approved, you’ll receive a US$100 gift card.<\/p>\n

To sum up, here are the policies of the various hotel groups:<\/p>\n
