You don’t know what is possible until you ask. When checking in, see if there are options to upgrade for a better view. Often there is a cost, and you might find it’s not worth it. But sometimes the upgrades are complementary so it never hurts to ask!
Why miss out on the beach view, if you can help it!
Rental car companies give preferential treatment to their loyal members. They may provide car upgrades or let you select your own car. But one of the biggest perks is the ability to be automatically assigned a car such that you never need to stop at the rental car desk. You can move from baggage claim directly to your car’s parking space. No need to wait in lines!
Hotels are competing for your business and reward loyalty. Sign up for free hotel loyalty programs and be sure to list your loyalty number on each reservation. In addition to earning free night stays, you may also be eligible for valuable room upgrades and free amenities. Even if you rarely stay in hotels, your loyalty number could earn you free bottled water, free Wi-Fi, free parking or even a late check out.
