Simple "One-Click Tips" to Enjoy the Best Rates and Rooms with Starwood!

January 2018


We greatly appreciate when you click on any of our links or ads and book directly on Starwood's website where you’ll enjoy the best rates!

Our objective with trvlvip is to identify for you only the most important, most actionable loyalty program Perks and Tips and send them directly to you... fast! We also make it very easy to view Starwood’s current Perks and promotions on trvlvip.com!

While we all know Starwood’s Perks and promotions are wonderful, we always suggest you review all of the rates at your desired hotel. A more competitive or flexible rate than the promotional rate you have targeted may be available and we want to make sure you don’t miss it!

When using the Find & Book Desktop Tool, you will input your travel dates, destination and will see a choice of hotels. The system will typically display the “Lowest Standard Rate” and up to three more rates of your choice. If you prefer to explore additional rates click on the pencil icon and a drop down menu will appear.

The Automobile Association (AAA) and Senior/AARP rates, if you qualify, are typically at least as low as the "Pre-Paid Rate" and usually have flexible cancellation terms.

You will not automatically see all of the promotions for a specific hotel if you choose “Promotions and Packages”. Instead, you will need to click into the website of the specific hotel you are considering and choose the “Offers” tab for that hotel. You will then see the current specials and can decide which rate or special will save you the most money or get you the most desired room. 

If you click any promotion link we provide on trvlvip, the Promotion Code will be added before booking. You can search up to four promo codes at a time if you click on the pencil icon an input the Promotion Code in the drop down menu as any of your four options.

The Wrap-Up:

By following these steps you will see the regular rates, the special promotional rates, as well as the current specials and can then decide which rates will save you the most money or get you the most desired room - or both!

If you score a great deal and plan a wonderful vacation as a result, let us know about it on Facebook and Twitter!
