But then Hilton are a prime example of charging way more on their site than through third parties. I can save 30% regularly with third parties. How much do I value their continuously downgraded loyalty scheme? Not much. In the UK even the basic rooms seem to be good enough so I don’t chase upgrades.
And the good hotels still thank me for being a loyal member and link my number to the booking on checkin (oddly occasionally I get the points too)

- switch007 3y agoMm, sounds good in theory! In my experience, third party sites deliberately show less room information/a partial room description I imagine precisely to prevent successful price-match claims. Though I can't say I've ever submitted one - I just assumed the third parties kind of work with the hotels to make it hard to claim. And yes we have much less lucrative CC rewards here. Here, Amex are partnered with Marriott (ew. not many good ones in the UK) and you only earn 6x
