Pro Tips for Booking Hotels in 2026:

 

  1. Always use dedicated bank links: Bookmark your credit card's specific portal link (e.g., [agoda.com/uob](https://agoda.com/uob) or expedia.com.sg/ocbc); entering standard landing pages will cause discount promo codes to fail.

  2. Stack with Shopping Portals: If booking directly through hotel chains (Marriott, Hilton, IHG), click through cashback portals prior to checkout while paying with your 4 mpd travel credit card.

General hacks when booking hotels

There are multiple methods that can be used to get the best deal on accommodation. You can try using one or a combination of the methods listed below to get the best rates on your hotel stay:

  • Compare numerous sites and deals: Before booking accommodation, look up the same hotel and type of room on multiple websites, including OTA websites and the website of the hotel itself to source the cheapest offer. Certain sites, such as Agoda, tend to have regular ‘Night Owl’ sales and deals when you book a hotel past 8:00 PM. You can also search online for coupons or promo codes for your chosen website or hotel. 
  • Join a hotel chain’s loyalty programme: Being a member of a hotel chain’s loyalty programme can bring multiple long-term benefits: you get rewarded for every hotel stay and in turn, can use those rewards for complimentary room upgrades and discounts on dining and other amenities. You are also entitled to welcome bonuses and exclusive perks as a loyalty programme member.
  • Choose non-refundable rates: booking non-refundable accommodation allows you to book a room for up to S$15 less per night than a refundable booking. Of course, you will not receive a refund should you cancel your reservation, but if your travel plans are certain, this could be an avenue worth considering.
  • Subscribe to a hotel’s newsletter: Believe it or not, you might just stumble upon an excellent hotel deal in your inbox one day. Most hotels, if not all, use a newsletter to promote new discounts or offers, many of which go largely unknown—unless you’re a part of their mailing list, that is.
