RoomRadar - automatic points & price tracking for Marriott hotels
Hi, my main focus when it comes to hotel loyalty is Marriott Bonvoy, but the problem is that due to dynamic pricing, the points you pay for a stay fluctuate a lot before check-in time. Same goes for cash pricing on flexible rates; it constantly moves. So I decided to solve my own problem and we've now got a system that automatically scans your specific room rate and alerts you if the price has dropped.
It's called RoomRadar, feel free to try it out! Once you receive a price drop alert, you can then rebook on cash or if it's booked on points it's very easy to reprice the booking from within your Marriott account at the lower points rate.
- Free account: you can track 1 stay for free. It can be either a points booking or cash booking.
- Starter $5: you can track up to 5 stays simultaneously, and you also get access to our arbitrage tracker. For example, if you've booked using points, the arb monitor will track cash prices and show you how much value you're getting per Bonvoy point. If the cash rate drops, you can then decide whether you'd switch to cash and save the points, or vice versa. Starter also comes with our BRG scanner. When you add a new booking, we automatically scan 20+ OTA sites to see if there's a better rate out there that could help you qualify for a Marriott Best Rate Guarantee claim.
- Pro $20: all the features of Starter and Free, but you can track up to 30 stays.
We've ironed out a lot of bugs over the last few weeks, but I'd love to hear your feedback and any feature requests. Currently we have around 200 people who've been using it for a month or so and the results have been great (lots of points saved!) 😄
Ps. starting with Marriott as that's my main brand but will be launching Hyatt, Hilton, IHG and Accor soon.
