Are there any hotel/motel memberships that cover many different chains?
I travel every week for work and I have found two solutions: 1) Priceline or Hotwire. Both are great for last-minute deals and you can pay significantly LESS than booking directly with the hotel. (I prefer Hotwire because you can pay with PayPal.) But if you want to earn points, I researched the different points-bases systems and found that Hilton Honors has the best deal because you can earn hotel points OR air miles. I’m a miles junkie, so it works well for me. Hope this helps a little.
