so everybody wants to travel
everybody wants to go certain places
everybody wants to visit certain places
but normally cost is a big barrier cost
and maybe getting time off well i am not
your boss so i cannot help you get time
off and i am not a lifestyle coach so i
will not be giving you new ways to make
money but what i can help you on is how
to save money and how to save money
specifically on hotels so they're pretty
much two main tips that i employ myself
when i'm traveling to get these reviews
done when i travel the city the city and
the first one when it comes to hotels is
when do i book
timing
timing is key now i know that sounds
pretty simple and you're like duh if you
book earlier you'll get better prices
that is actually
false unlike airlines
where it's if you book earlier you save
money hotels are the opposite i actually
noticed this correlation myself but then
i did a little bit more research and you
know what some of the research i did
backs up what i thought myself
the closer it is
to your check-in date the cheaper it
gets
so the golden rule i want to say is 14
days
before your trip that's when i'll start
to get cheaper so i have also seen an
article from forbes where if you wait
until day of
at 4 00 p.m after 4 p.m just flock there
and book and you can get savings up to
half off sometimes now that is best case
scenario i have not tried that out
myself personally so i cannot speak on
it i do have some friends however who
wait until the very last minute until
4pm that day and they do this they
travel and they swear by it i just
haven't done it myself so i'm not going
to touch on that i'll let you guys know
about that maybe in a separate video
down the road but i've also seen some
evidence where they say if you book
within the last two days you could get
tremendous savings as well the last two
days now i have not had the balls to try
this one out just to go in like
with two days or i haven't done enough
research with that i do know
that worked for me once in miami um we
got an airbnb
like last minute it canceled and then we
booked another one that was way cheaper
day of so that is my only experience
booking within the last two days of like
a real hotel and noticing it being that
much cheaper but as you guys can see
here these are just my vegas hotels when
i booked early july thinking about
coming here for labor day and then i
really booked it right now as you guys
can see the price definitely dipped oh
you're booking up with different sites
when we first originally booked it was
for the cheapest price i'm obviously
gonna go for the cheapest option
and now this is the new cheapest option
not a huge huge different but quite
substantial depending upon
saving yourself a few bucks and
depending on how big your splits are if
it is just you two three hundred dollars
maybe a lot of money now if you're
someone who's a planner a big planner
this obviously won't work for you book
on out saving the 10 to 20
think it's like 13 on average actually
when you book within that two weeks
before you check in time frame then by
all means book earlier this is more for
the people who are more penny pinching
they don't have all the money to spend
or they want to hit multiple cities and
that it gets very costly saving yourself
13 can go a long way that could be the
difference between 100 200 or 300 this
doesn't only just work for hotels this
also i have noticed works on airbnbs as
well and the evidence and the articles
do seem to support my hypothesis i will
of course leave the links to these
articles in the description below so if
you guys would like to read up on it and
see where i got my research from just
click on the links below and you'll see
a whole bunch of different articles and
if i had to guess the reason is because
somebody staying there is better than
nobody staying there you think airlines
would work that way but they really
don't maybe if you get a skip lag or
something like that but
i'm assuming because it's not sold out
that weekend or that week it's still on
the market they would rather have
somebody or make it a little bit of
profit than letting it stay dormant and
missing another week or so of money so
that was the big tip that i employ
another tip that i use is i go into a
private browser i don't like people to
be able to read my cookies so i go into
a private browser sometimes i feel like
they might feed off one each other they
might see what i'm looking at and the
prices may be artificially high i have
noticed that we're airlines so i also do
that for hotels i go into a private
browser so you can't see what i'm
looking at and see what i am comparing
back and forth
and then my third final tip is
don't have any loyalty
all right so forget all those points if
you want to go with priceline
adobo whatever whatever they whatever
these uh uh these travel companies are
i'm going with whoever has the cheapest
price
okay whoever has the cheapest price you
are going to save more money that way if
it's a reputable
reputable site don't get scammed you
will save more money that way than if
you were to try to
like accrue points or crew rewards using
just one thing now if you didn't know
that you're going to save 13 or up to 20
by booking within the 14 day window make
sure you give me this like and a
subscribe and share this video if you
guys know anybody who loves to travel it
will really help them out and if you are
not comfortable
if you are really not comfortable i want
to say um
not having things booked out
sometimes certain hotels have free
cancellation so if you book something
that has free cancellation i'll just
book it a month or two months or three
months out see where the free
cancellation is if it's in within those
14 days
i like it so you know we'll book that
there come back see if the price is
cheaper that's what i did this time
going to vegas so since the price was
cheaper i cancelled my original
reservation and i booked a new one
so these are my pro tips that can help
you save money my name is mr nocturnal
