Are you ready to book a free (or very cheap) hotel stay on Cyber Monday?
Orbitz will give you $100 off hotel bookings of $100 or more when you book on Monday, December 1, 2014, for stays between December 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015.
You’ll get the discount when you use Visa Checkout as your payment method and use promotion code “VISACHECKOUT“.
So if you find a hotel room for $100, the stay is free!
I like Big Travel with Small Money, but I love FREE travel with NO money even more! I’ll show you how to get in on the deal.
What’s the Deal?
Link: Orbitz
Link: Orbitz Cyber Monday Terms & Conditions
To get the $100 off, book a qualifying hotel stay on Orbitz this coming Cyber Monday (December 1, 2014). Most major chains are excluded.
The discount is valid for new bookings only for stays between December 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015. But if you already have a refundable booking, you could always cancel and re-book!
To find hotels eligible for the discount, enter the promotion code “VISACHECKOUT” when you search for hotels.
Hotels included in the deal will have the phrase “Promo Code Eligible” listed above the price.
To get a free (or almost free) stay, look for hotels in the ~$85 to $100 range. Your booking needs to be at least $100 including taxes.
And to get the discount, use Visa Checkout as your payment method. If you haven’t signed-up for Visa Checkout, you can do so while making the booking.
Don’t forget to sign-up with a credit card that earns bonus miles and points for travel, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred (which earns 2X points on travel), or Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard (which earns 2.1% cash back on travel).
Note: The terms and conditions of the deal say that you can only get 1 discount per Orbitz account or email address.
But a family of 4 could make separate bookings and each earn the discount. So you could stretch this deal out over several nights depending on how many folks you’re traveling with!
This is a fantastic deal!
Bottom Line
Orbitz will take $100 off a qualifying hotel stay of $100 or more on Cyber Monday, December 1, 2014. The deal is valid for stays between December 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015.
Use promotion code “VISACHECKOUT” and pay with Visa Checkout to get the discount.
Most major chains are excluded. And you can only get 1 discount per Orbitz account or email address.
But if you can find a room for ~$100, your whole stay is free!
Emily and I will try to make the most of this deal on Cyber Monday. Will you?
“We’re sorry, the promo code has expired”
But it’s not midnight yet 🙁
Thanks again for the heads up about this. You beat almost all other bloggers to this story it seems. (the first big name blog to feature it at least)
I too failed to get one. I called customer support and they said it had reached a predetermined limit. When I pointed out that the rules for the offer do not indicate there was a limit the support person transferred me to customer satisfaction where they hung up on me. mmm, not great customer relations.
WHY IS THE CODE EXPIRED? It said that it was valid until december 8th?? And it’s only been two hours since it started?
I made my booking at 9:10am, its now 11:50am and I just checked my inbox and it appears Orbitz mailed out the “exclusive offer” this morning at 9:58am. I believe the offer was pulled 35-40 minutes later. Since I attempted a dummy booking at 10:45am. Thank you Daraius for the heads up 1 week in advance =)
