Booked the hotel & got a discount!
I am on a savings roll! After buying the Maid of Honour dress yesterday (for Hawaii), I realized I had to book a hotel for the other wedding I’m going to in 2 weeks.
I booked us in a Days Inn/Travelodge caliber hotel because I didn’t want anything fancy. But even then, the cost for 2 nights was $217.19 after tax/fees. :(
The great thing about the hotel we booked with is that if you find a cheaper rate anywhere else, they will beat that rate by 10%. So I scoured the internet for a better rate, and ended up finding one! I submitted my claim, and got confirmation within a couple of hours that my new rate for 2 nights will be $169.64!
That’s a savings of $47.55! For just a few minutes of work.
It makes me feel good that even though I have to spend money on certain things, I know I’m getting the best deal that I can.

Good for you. This is where I fall down by just presuming that if they offer to beat a cheaper rate then there is probably not going to be one.!! just shows I have a lot to learn still.
