Hotel Grand Openings can SAVE you MONEY!

ACCOMA

There is nothing like going on a vacation or business trip, and being the first guests to stay in a new or re-furbished hotel. The smell of a new room, the look of a new lobby, a pool that is un-used, a tread-mill that needs to be broken in, and a staff that will do what ever it takes to make my stay as pleasant as possible. Yup, this is the life.

I think when ever I try to book a vacation or business travel in the future, I will always try and book it at a new hotel. Consider this, in a new hotel or motel if I have a complaint, it is most likely to be quickly resolved. The Management of the establishment is counting on my positive experience to help sell their product in the future. Even if the name of the hotel is well known nationally, it doesn’t matter if the new one in question has a bad reputation write from the beginning.

There is a good chance that booking at a new hotel will also get you showered with gifts and discount coupons you would otherwise not have a chance to receive. You might even be invited to participate in focus groups and receive additional rewards for rating and reviewing the hotel amenities and services. Who knows, you might just discover another way to travel.

Please tell us about any experiences you have had at new hotels, and if you have any problems, feel free to visit www.directcomplaint.com and post your thoughts on our consumer poster board.

Gift cards

More of us are giving and receiving gift cards for the holidays than ever before. Lets face it, their fast, safe, and they don’t require much thought in today’s fast paced world.
When you get your gift cards, your first impulse is to run out and use them as quickly as you can. Hold that thought. If you can be just a little bit patient, and hold off for about two weeks, there is a very good chance that your gift cards will go much further. After January 1st, many stores do their inventory. In an effort to move out the old, and to bring in the new, they will slash prices, sometimes, as much as eighty percent. It’s possible that you might not find exactly what you wanted, but if you come close, and you can buy twice as much, isn’t it worth it?
