I often go with the same hotel chain- does anyone know if there are hotels that offer frequent visitor deals?
A lot of the larger chains do offer something like this, for a yearly fee. They give you special treatment and contact you with deals when they become available. Most of the time, its not cheaper- but you get perks like breakfast for an ungraded room.
I have a frequent visitor pass with Holiday Inn. I do get discounted rates. They do a point systems, the more I stay there, the more points I get. Its a better deal to buy with the points. I do not pay a yearly fee either.
