Tools for finding BRG deals

Here's another website my friend built. It has similar feature. Please check it out.

https://www.flyertavern.com

I believe it is still under active development and you might see some bugs there......

Cheers!

Hey guys,

I have built a small website recently to compare rates from hotel's website (starwood.com) and third-party websites (e.g. Expedia) and it is really easy to find some BRG deals and get the 20% discount. You can also use this website to search for hotels of your favorite hotel brand, or check the points value when you book with points.

The website is http://www.bookbrg.com

And please, do not misuse this...

Cheers!

==========
Updates:

New Features:
1. Book with points: calculating points value (e.g. 1.6c/point) and cost when book with points (e.g. if you value your spg points as 2.5c/point, then a 10000 point booking would have cost of $250 for you)
2. Search result filter by brand.
3. Currency conversion.

Known issues:
1. Sometimes mismatch hotels from official website to a wrong hotel from 3rd party websites
2. Sometimes show outdated price
3. Cannot auto-fill hotel, check-in, check-out information anymore while re-direct to hotel page.
4. Taxes for hotels outside US.

Feature in development:
1. Subscribe to a hotel/location and get notified when great deal is found.
2. Search result filters and sorting
