What they did
A Hermes Agent user shares three travel money tricks. After booking a hotel with free cancellation, have the agent check the same room every morning and message you on Telegram if it gets cheaper, so you can rebook and cancel. If you book direct with Marriott or Hilton, have it look for the same room cheaper elsewhere for a best-rate-guarantee claim. On travel day, give it your flight number so it can tell you if you're owed delay compensation before you accept a voucher.
How it went
A message when your room gets cheaper, and a heads-up about flight compensation.
Worth knowing
- Tips from one user, not a measured result. Best-rate-guarantee rules change (he notes Hilton changed its rules in August), so read the current terms. EU delay compensation depends on flight distance and the cause of the delay.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
I booked [hotel, room type, dates] for [price] with free cancellation until [date]. Every morning until then, check the same room and dates on [booking sites]. If it's cheaper with the same cancellation rules, message me the new price and link. On [travel date], watch flight [number] and tell me if a delay or cancellation means I'm owed compensation or a refund, before I accept anything at the gate.
