New Tool reveals hidden hotels on
Priceline Express Deals & Hotwire Hot Deals
This is pretty cool! If you’ve ever booked a hotel on Priceline or Hotwire you’re well aware that they have this “hidden hotel” feature. Priceline has Express Deals and Hotwire has Hot Deals and both of these give you the opportunity to score an even bigger discount on surprise hotels, but that’s the catch. You have no idea what hotel you’re booking. Until now: www.travelarrow.io is a chrome extension that cracks the code and reveals the hotels
I did a TikTok and Instagram Reels on it earlier today… you can see it here.

You’ll need to add this to a chrome browser and it does request access to a lot of data. So I will probably only turn this on, or even leave it installed, or perhaps dictate that it can scrape data while on Priceline or Hotwire, but just a head’s up.
Once that is installed, you can use it on both Priceline and Hotwire. Here’s an example: 4.5 star South Beach hotel for 49% off, but it’s hidden.
However, after you click Express Deal the next screen populates and in the upper right hand corner you’ll see the hotel name. You can even click on booking.com or google for more info and price compare- i’d guess those are affiliate links
And just to compare if booked on the Mondrian site:

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.
