HotelKingdom.com's Rate Champion Program Challenges Customers To Find Cheaper Rates

Hotel reservation Web site pays customers who find lower prices.

ORLANDO, FL. (PRWEB) August 3, 2001 -- Standing behind its guarantee to offer the lowest rates on the Internet, HotelKingdom.com has launched the Rate Champion Program," which rewards travelers and web surfers who find better Internet rates than those currently published on the hotel reservation web site.

Hotelkingdom.com implemented the Rate Champion Program" as a method to consistently offer the lowest prices. Even though we constantly monitor hotel prices to ensure the lowest rate for our users, other sites occasionally sneak in and underbid us," Tina Winston, Vice President for HotelKingdom.com said. The 'Rate Champion Program allows us to use the masses to seek out those underbidders and beat their prices."

If visitors to the site find and report a cheaper rate than published on HotelKingdom.com, it will not only match the rate, but also give an additional $5 discount per night. If customers dont have an existing reservation with a hotel, they will receive a check for $10.

         Now in its third year, HotelKingdom.com is nearing $12 million in gross sales with an inventory of over one thousand hotels and clearing an 80 percent repeat customer rate. Our mission is to provide our customers with the best hotel accommodations for the lowest possible price," says Henry Danish, Vice President of Acquisitions for HotelKingdom.com. In order to ensure high quality standards, all hotels are carefully screened before being accepted to our inventory."

HotelKingdom.com guarantees the lowest rates on the Web by dealing in high volume. Contracting with hotels to increase their occupancy allows them to obtain wholesale rates for rooms and suites, creating a win-win situation for the hotel and more importantly, the customer. When we started out three years ago, we were practically begging hotels to join our program," Winston said. Now we have a waiting list of over 800 hotels wanting to be added to our inventory list."
