After a long year of quarantine, it's clear that most people can't wait to go out and travel again. Thousands of people are now scrambling to book plane tickets, rental cars, and hotels to the point where most of the best deals are sold out.
What most people don't realize is how easy it can be to get a free hotel upgrade. Whether you want to upgrade to an ocean-view room, a higher floor, or champagne and dining credits, the general managers of these hotels have the power to make it happen.
It's not always easy to find the contact info for general managers. Most hotel websites will only give you the emails for customer support or the front desk, but unfortunately, these people don't have the power to grant upgrades.
1. Find who the general manager is through LinkedIn, TripAdvisor, etc.
2. Find their email by either calling the front desk or trying different variations of their name with the hotel email domain.
3. Write an email describing the upgrade you want and what occasion it's for. Mentioning whether you're a loyalty rewards member is a plus.
DoNotPay can do it automatically for you. We'll draft the request email on your behalf, find the general manager, and contact them under your name so you can get a free upgrade!
1. Enter the name of the hotel you're staying at, including the location.
2. Tell us the dates of your stay, who you're staying with, whether it's your first time, and whether you're a loyalty rewards member at the hotel.
3. Tell us if it's a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) and any specific upgrades you want to request.
4. Tell us your current room and confirmation number.
