Booking independent hotels (non-chain) and maximizing rewards
Currently planning a trip to Southeast Asia for May and we would like to stay at some independent hotels. Countries are Thailand and Cambodia. Idea is to book through hotels.com to get the 11th night free through their rewards program. I also have some hotels.com gift cards that I bought at a 10-20% discount during recent promotions, and am looking for coupons for hotels.com. Is there anything wrong with my idea? We are looking at hotels in very different price ranges ($50-500/night). When checking prices, I see that Agoda is also very competitive. How do you all book non-chain hotels for your trips?
