Hey Guys,
I was wondering if there is anywhere I can read up on the best hotel deals in Canada. I just took on a new job and I will be travelling a lot more and my employer allows me to book my own rooms and reimburses me. So, I feel like this is an opportunity to get some "free" hotel deals. So I know of the three ways of getting "free" money below, but which one is the best?
1. I use Tangerine credit card so I can get 2% cashback on the "hotel-motel" category, but I found out this week that does not include booking sites (e.g. expedia, hotels.com, kayak, etc.), so I would have to book directly with the hotel to get this perk.
2. I can get the deals from the booking sites if I ignore #1. For example, hotels.com will give a free night after paying for 10 paid nights (Assuming ~$120 hotels per night I guess I get a "return" of about $12 each time I stay, this is better than the 2% I would believe).
3. Major hotel chains themselves offer deals, I believe most are points for free nights. Maybe I can combine this with #2 and get the best "return"?
Has anybody looked into these deals before? Any idea what the best course of action is?
Thanks in advance!
