Hotels.com alternative

Travel Hack

After receiving notice that Hotels.com in my area will be switching my account to the awful One Key Cash scheme, I was wondering if anyone here knew of a better option.

I’m grateful! :pray:

HI!
I understand your frustration with the switch to the One Key Cash scheme.

Many users have expressed concerns about the significant devaluation of rewards.

Fortunately, there are several alternative hotel loyalty programs that might suit your needs better:

  1. Marriott Bonvoy: Offers a wide range of benefits, including free nights, room upgrades, and late check-out. It’s ideal if you frequently stay at Marriott properties.

  2. Hilton Honors: Known for its generous points system and perks like free breakfast and room upgrades. Hilton also has a large global presence.

  3. IHG One Rewards: Provides benefits such as free nights, room upgrades, and exclusive member rates. It’s a good option if you often stay at IHG properties like Holiday Inn and InterContinental.

  4. World of Hyatt: Offers valuable rewards, including free nights, suite upgrades, and access to exclusive experiences. Hyatt’s program is highly regarded for its customer service.

  5. Accor Live Limitless (ALL): Provides a variety of benefits, including room upgrades, free nights, and dining discounts. It’s a great choice if you stay at Accor properties like Sofitel and Novotel.

Each of these programs has its own strengths, so you might want to consider which hotel chains you prefer and what benefits are most important to you.

If you have any specific preferences or travel habits, I can help you narrow down the best option for you!

I recently faced a similar situation where a loyalty program I relied on switched to a less appealing scheme, and I needed to find a better alternative. After some research, I discovered that sites like Expedia Rewards, Booking.com Genius, and even direct hotel loyalty programs from chains like Marriott or Hilton often offer better perks and more flexible options than the new One Key Cash scheme. These alternatives typically provide a mix of discounts, points for free nights, and other benefits that might align better with your travel habits. It’s worth exploring these programs and comparing their benefits to find one that suits your needs and offers a more rewarding experience.
