BRG comparison aggregator site?
Been using kayak, but it doesn't always list the official hotel site rate.
Any other aggregator that always lists the official hotel site rate?
Also do we have a list of BRGs that offer a free night. directly rather than vouchers, like Choice Hotels? (Have several 1 night stays coming up in AUS)
TIA

Feel free to PM me too.
Kayak is the most reliable aggregator I know of related to showing the actual hotel / having a click through.
I often use another site relatively well known to those doing BRG's that "Combines Hotels", It shows the total price, and doesn't show the hotels site itself, but it does tend to show some sites that I've never seen rates that differ from the hotel price. For Choice, I go ahead and open a search directly on their site so I can see what hotels I have to choose from and get an idea of what prices I'm trying to beat. I usually don't bother with IHG, but I keep meaning to give it a try sometime I'm within 7 days of my trip.

Tips?
Just curious. Anyone like to leave a tip (Or better one) when staying at a free or nearly free room?
I'm usually between a minimal - fair tipper, but I always try to leave a good impression when getting something free or using a coupon.
I doubt the cleaning staff have any idea what you paid for your room 99.9% of the time, but it's still nice to do.

I tend to use hotelscombined. But wouldn't mind getting a PM with good tips
Maybe its the properties I'm looking at, but I haven't seen much luck with that site.
