‘Twas the week after
Thanksgiving, when all through the house—all the travelers were waiting
—for Lodging.com’s 31 Days of Holiday Savings. Lodging.com, a leading
online source for discounted hotel rooms, offers the largest selection of
hotels and vacation rental properties worldwide including an inventory of
more than 29,000 specially negotiated properties, and for the month of
December—many are on sale! This holiday season, Lodging.com is giving back to its customers. As an
added bonus, travelers booking accommodations on Lodging.com from December
1 - - 31, 2004, are also automatically entered in the Lodging.com
Sweepstakes for a chance to win 250 “Lodging.com Dollars,*” which are good
for future bookings made on Lodging.com at any of the site’s properties.
In addition to these great deals, Lodging.com offers consumers even more
savings with its new loyalty program, “Get a Room, Get Paid!” The free
program, launched in November, rewards travelers who purchase a pre-paid
hotel room from Lodging.com with four percent of that hotel room rate to
be used toward future hotel bookings - more than three times the level of
many other rewards programs. Customers earn their rewards in the form of
“Lodging.com Dollars,” which can be redeemed toward the purchase of any of
the site’s vast array of global hotel content.
