Step 1
If your trip is fairly far off, visit the websites of the hotels you would like to stay at and sign up for their email alerts. Most major hotels and hotel chains send emails advertising promotional codes for deals on stays that might be weeks to months in the future.
-
Step 2
If you don't have a specific hotel(s) in mind, you can find online "coupons" for all hotels in the area on popular travel sites such as Hotels.com. These sites not only will compare rates for all the hotels near your destination, but there also are site pages specifically dedicated to special deals/coupons.
-
Step 3
For those not picky about their destination, sites such as Travelzoo.com are helpful. These types of sites compile the best travel deals on the Internet, from hotels to flights to travel packages. You also can sign up for Travelzoo emails so you won't miss any hotel coupons that come through the site.
-
Step 4
Check online coupon sites such as CouponCraze.com and RetailMeNot.com. Enter the name of the hotel(s) you would like to stay at in the search field. The search should return several coupon codes you can enter when reserving your room online. Most of these types of sites also will offer ratings and other information on each coupon code (often, these types of codes expire, so it might be too late to use them).
-
Step 5
If your vacation destination is a large city, there might be sites aimed specifically at hotel coupon codes/discounts in that city. EarlyVegas.com is an example of this. Do an online search for hotels in your destination city to check for these types of sites.
