I think it may work internationally . Worth trying Wyndham rewards , it’s a reward system covers all major low budget hotels (or can say motels) across US . I think it may work internationally .

Even though they have promos all the time, we always use the free night. If every 10 nights you get 1 free night, that represents the same value as a 10% discount. Their other promotions never reach a 10% discount, so you might as well stick with this one! Hope things are clearer for next time! :) Hi Ravi,

Also u have not mentioned that they sometime offer special 8% discount if booking is done immediately which I did only to find that after the booking was done and payment was made, the note says I am not entitled to 1 night free scheme if I availed cash discount. Something they shud have said first but made it appear that the 8% discount for QUICIK BOOKING was over and above the 10days=1day free scheme.

You also do not need to pay in GBP on Hotels.com. You can pay with USD or any other currency but your cashback will always come in GBP (at the day's rate).

We usually make our bookings via Airbnb, even though we've been noticing in the last couple of years how the prices have been going up. Still, we've realized that even prices on Airbnb are negotiable. We often get around 20% discount, as long as we have the time to do a little back and forward with the host to negotiate. If you are new to Airbnb, you can <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.in/c/abaruah" title="$35 Off Airbnb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sign up with our invite code and get $35 off your first booking</a>! :) Hi Joey,

Just found your awesome blog. Have to comment, here. I understand you are a fan of sustainable travel. so why not book directly with the hotels and ask for a 20% discount? This way, the hotel still gets 80%. If you book through the booking site and cashback service, the booking site also cuts not a small commission, can be as high as 25% (with Booking.com). Find more information on how to stay in hotels for longer for less in British tech journalist Paul Carr's easy and entertaining book, http://www.amazon.com/Upgrade-Cautionary-Tale-Without-Reservations-ebook/dp/B005CI2IUA On a slightly separate note, I haven't found more general 'accommodation tips' on your blog. Sure, when you are on a 'tour or excursion, tourist mode' you go with regular accommodation/booking options like everyone else. But most digital nomads settle for a few months at a time. What are your tips for accommodation for such circumstances? That would be an interesting post for your readers. Hey A&Z!
