Travelocity spotlights “100 Hotels for under $100”

January 27, 2010 | Online Travel

After recent announcements of increased airline fees, it’s no surprise that consumers are looking for more ways to save their hard-earned dollars on upcoming travel. Travelocity is providing some relief in the New Year by re-launching its 100 hotels worldwide with rooms for less than $100 per night.

“We want to help our customers pinpoint the most affordable hotels in popular international and domestic destinations that fit any vacation style and budget,” said Lesley Harris, vice president of hotels for Travelocity. “While some consumers may feel a little shell shocked because of added costs and recently increased airline fees, there are still spectacular deals to be found in hotels, which helps even the playing field.”

In addition to bringing forward some of the best hotel bargains on the market, for a limited time 10 Travelocity customers will have a chance to win $2,000 for future travel. Between now and March 8, 2010, customers who book one of the 100 hotels under $100 using any American Express® Card will be entered into the sweepstakes. One winner each week for 10 weeks will be awarded a secret promo code worth $2,000 valid for future travel purchases with Travelocity. No purchase is necessary to win, and official rules of the sweepstakes are available at http://www.travelocity.com/2000sweeps. Participants also can enter promo code “SAVE10AMX” at check-out to save an additional 10 percent on the hotel booking.

Beyond ongoing cost savings, Travelocity gives consumers a level of price protection on hotel bookings not available from other online travel sites with the Travelocity Price and Service Guarantee. While competing sites offer price protection on hotel bookings only when lower prices are found on their respective sites, or only within the supplier’s cancellation window, Travelocity customers who find the same hotel booking for less elsewhere online (excluding hotels booked using a name-your-own-price service) any time prior to the day of check-in, can notify Travelocity and receive a refund for the difference in price. Also, the online travel company no longer charges Travelocity change or cancel fees for hotel bookings (excluding last minute packages) and has reduced its hotel booking fees nationwide.
