It’s wise to enable email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to keep updated on flash sales and special promotions, which could help you save on your stay. Additionally, utilise the Smart Shopping feature in the app, a comparison tool that allows you to evaluate hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re informed about any price drops or availability changes for your preferred hotels.
