Stop me if you’ve been here: You find the perfect hotel, but the price is just a bit out of reach. You check back every day, hoping for a drop, only to get distracted and miss the sale.

Google Hotels just fixed that. 👏

Starting today, you can now track the price of individual properties. Previously, you could only track city-wide averages, but now you can get laser-focused on that one specific resort or boutique hotel you’ve been eyeing.

How to use it: 

1️⃣ Search for a specific hotel on Google (Desktop or Mobile). 

2️⃣ Enter your travel dates. 

3️⃣ Scroll down and toggle on “Track this hotel.” 

4️⃣ Sit back and wait for the email alert when the price drops significantly! 📧✨

Whether you’re hunting for luxury on a budget or just trying to maximize your reward points, this is a game-changer for summer travel planning. ✈️

Pro-Tip: Check the "Prices" tab on mobile to find the hidden toggle!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
