What is the Hotel Savings Card Exactly?
Its similar to a gift card for booking hotel stays EXCEPT that it can only cover a portion of the stay (usually 10-50% off the lowest online price, depending on the hotel and length of stay)
They are valid at over 1 million hotels & resorts worldwide with no blackout dates and no expiration date. So whether you use it for last-minute business travel or planning your next vacation you will save big.
If you don't save the entire face value of the hotel savings card on one booking you will have a cash credit balance available for your next hotel booking that never expires.
HOTEL SAVING CARD
CHECK OUT HOW IT WORKS
HOTEL SAVINGS CARD Explainer
There are TWO PRICES for a hotel room....or any product...the retail price and the wholesale price. The wholesale price is our cost and the difference between that and the price sold by other retailers is called the markup.
A hotel savings card will allow you to reduce your hotel stay from the retail price to the wholesale price.
In other words, you will be allowed to apply as much of the card value as there is available in the markup for the hotel room.
Obviously, when a hotel room or any product sells for $50 there’s not as much markup or actual dollars profit as there is when a hotel room or other product sells for $500. What the hotel savings card will allow you to do is to reduce the markup until the product a.k.a. the hotel room is reduced to a wholesale price.
This wholesale price will be the price that you pay for the hotel room. If there is remaining money on the savings card after applying it to whatever stay is chosen, it will be banked and saved for the next time.
But unless the hotel stay you select has a MARKUP of $500 between the retail price & the wholesale price you won’t be able to use the whole $500.
Most likely, if you are staying at low end properties you will only save a few dollars a night since there’s not much mark up.
But if you book a week at a $500 a night oceanfront resort you might get to use up the whole $500 with one booking.
It’s not designed so that BookvipPlus loses money, but just that they do not make any profit off your booking. That’s what getting wholesale rates means. Or any other product for wholesale.... The company cannot afford to give it to you for free. They are giving it to you for their cost and they are taking away their markup. That is what a hotel savings card does.
Expedia, Travelocity and ALL others mark up hotel rooms wholesale & sell them at a profit. That’s how they make money. By giving someone a Hotel Savings Card you are allowing them to get hotel rooms for the COST that Expedia etc. pay. But never free.
Any unused amount from a card will always be saved and be allowed to be used on your next stay.
And the site always shows you how much you are saving for the very same property over competitors. And you can often call the hotel yourself you will see.
You truly get wholesale rates. But it’s not a gift card. It’s a discount program as stated on the incentive they are a Hotel SAVINGS card.
Hope that helps explain how they work.
