Hi everyone! I'm a 29 yo travel junkie, longtime FT lurker, 50% of a Hyatt Lifetime Globalist, and a travel industry entrepreneur. In late-January, My team and I had an idea to build a hotel booking tracker that automatically rebooks if booking rates drop. This idea came to me in January when I was checking 13 Hyatt bookings every day for potential price drops. I spoke with some travel friends and realized I'm not the only one that obsessively checks my Hyatt app daily. We decided to start building a prototype in February and have been testing the app ourselves for the last month. So far, it's saved me $342 across 3 Hyatt bookings. We're now ready to go live with more users and are looking for Hyatt frequent travelers who relate to this problem.

Our unique feature set:
- Add a booking in 30s with a confirmation number and travel details. No login or payment credentials needed.
- Free to add and track as many bookings as you'd like.
- Booking rates checked twice a day and rebookings are automatic if rates drop. Same confirmation number and room details.
- Hyatt only today (Marriott, Hilton, and IHG coming soon!).
- We charge $0.25 for every $1.00 we save you in rebookings, but if you sign up by April 30th 2025, we're waiving rebooking fees for your first 3 months.
We will continue to roll out our new features in the next few weeks, please let us know your feedback and any bugs you find. Let's build an useful travel product together!
How it works?
We use the reservation finder flow (e.g.
https://www.hyatt.com/reservation/find) to access your reservation. We then click "Modify Details" to check the current rates. If there's a rate drop, we automatically follow the rebook flow if the booking is within its refundable window. This is all done automatically in under 2 minutes every day.
