Top Reasons Why and When to Use Your Current Hotel Status to Get More

Earlier, I posted about how to get Hilton Honours Gold status by fast tracking through special offers.  This can save you thousands on your way to getting the perks of elite statuses. 

However, what else besides gold status do you earn with this offer?  You earn the potential to get status with lots of other hotel chains! 

I've used statusmatcher.com to upgrade my status with other chains once I've achieved it with at least one chain.  I started with Hilton Honours Gold and went from there.

An Easier Way to Hotel Status Perks

Earlier I posted about how to get Secret Saver hotels, saving a load of money over normal rates.  If you have status with a hotel chain, I've always had it honoured when I checked in even though I had booked at a much cheaper rate than normal bookings.  

But in that post I mentioned that I've gotten free status with a number of chains, which has provided all kinds of perks, which would normally cost you much more for the night.  Perks like free buffet breakfast, free wifi, room upgrades, early check-in, late check-out, and extra points during the stay for the elite status.  To me these extra perks can be worth $20, $30, or more, since you're getting free breakfast or other extras.
