Travel Savings

One of the hotels I like to stay in when I travel is Extended Stay America, mainly because their rooms have full kitchens. Being a vegetarian, and to save money, I like to take my own food with me. 
Extended Stay has always had fairly similar rates to places which don't have kitchens, although maybe slightly higher. But they also just started a rewards type of program called Extended Perks, which offer weekly deals and rewards.
I was traveling last week, so when I went to make my reservation online, it was one price with a AAA discount of $4. Then I saw the new perks program and just thought I would check to see if there was a better price before I purchased. The program gave me an ADDITIONAL 30% off! So I was so happy that I had taken the time to check on it.
Even the desk clerk was surprised at the price I received, saying that the most off she has seen was 20%. Of course, even that would still be good. But my stay cost less than it would have been at a Motel 6, which basically offers nothing extra. So it pays to shop.
