This is also one of my favorite programs / threads, to date. Where do you actually get something for nothing, these days??

Not sure how it could work, but maybe we could post locations where there are lower rates to be found?

Mrcheaps, I suspected the software issue as you have stated above, in an earlier post. It seems the searching window is strangely familiar, on many different sites, making me think there are many sites using the same price search engines. That is how they will quickly 'fix' all prices to be the same.

I guess for awhile, it will depend on where you are travelling, as to if you will still be able to find free nights. For now, I am happy with my 11 free nights during my 2 week vacation in Califirnia, in August. (Also have two free nights with SPG, and 2 free nights with Airmiles)

The locations I have Triprewards free nights for are in Anahiem, Monterey, Hollywood, San Diego, San Clemente, and Carlsbad.
Also, have some free stop over nights in Toronto and in Vancouver.
The main sites at which I found lower prices are on arestravel.com , expedia.com , travelocity.com , roomsusa.com , orbitz.com , expedia.ca , and destina.ca .

Do we know which sites do not currently subscribe to the universal booking search engines?

Thanks for all the feedback!
