How do I use my savings code?

Activate your travel savings code to create an account. Search 1,000,000 properties around the world. Savings are displayed with each search result. Results with the greatest savings are displayed first. Place your reservation and the amount that you save will be deducted from your Savings Bank Balance.

Do I have to use my savings code on one reservation?

No. The travel savings program is flexible and permits you to use your entire Savings Bank Balance on a single or multiple reservations until your Savings Bank Balance is empty. The amount that you may apply to each reservation is determined by the parameters of your search and the savings available through the hotels and resorts that you choose.

Can I use the entire amount of my savings towards my reservation?

Yes, if the amount of savings for the selected hotel or resort is equal to the amount of your Savings Bank Balance, the entire amount will be applied to your reservation automatically.

Can I combine multiple codes for additional savings?

No, you are only eligible for one savings card per user account.

Is there a minimum stay required?

No. There is no minimum stay required. You can stay for a minimum of 1 night or the maximum nights allowed for that hotel.

What hotels and resorts are available in the hotel savings program?

With over 1,000,000 properties available through the savings program, you will find familiar brands and hotels around the world.
