In the past month I have booked 11 hotel nights for various dates.
I searched Expedia, and Hotel.com for a while, tracking the price. Each time you search, make sure to delete your internet cookies.
After searching a Wyndham hotel, I phoned them directly. I told them the I was on Expedia, and want a cheaper price. I said, oh I am so old fashion I prefer talking to a person vs online. She asked me if I like coffee, and if I would enjoy an upgraded executive room. After a minute of chatting, I said two beds is fine, I didn't want to pay an upgrade. The woman said, no upgrade fee, and I will beat the prices. The price I was quoted was $400 US currency lower, and an upgrade!!!
Not every time has this worked, but it is worth the 6 minute phone call to try!
