I will say that I often do care about loyalty programs here, where in the rental car world, I usually don't (other than the ability to bypass the line and go right to my car, which almost always works for me with AutoSlash reservations). So that will likely compromise my ability to be all-in on this program. But I'll give it a shot!
Thanks for the kind words. Earning loyalty points on 3rd party bookings is never guaranteed, but there's nothing physically blocking it on the hotel side. In our experience, we've gotten points for our own bookings almost every time.
We recommend asking to add your loyalty number at check-in. If the check-in agent can't or won't do it then, stop by during your stay when someone else is at the front desk. Failing that, ask to have them add it at checkout. The more shots you make, the more likely you are to score a goal.
All of that said, loyalty benefits like upgrades, etc. are probably not going to work on bookings made through HotelSlash. Then again, the money you save may be significant, so you need to consider the total picture.
We look forward to saving you money on hotel stays!
