How to instantly save up to 10 per cent on your next stay

Advertorial for Accor

By Katie Cunningham

Accommodation can make or break your holiday budget. That’s why it pays to make sure you’re getting the lowest possible rate on your hotel.

The good news is the days of toggling between ten different tabs trying to find a bargain are over. There’s a booking platform that makes it easy to snag the lowest rate around: it’s called ALL.com, an all-in-one booking platform that allows you to book accommodation, flight and hotel packages, plus fun extras like local tours and experiences all in the one spot.

And, crucially, ALL.com guarantees you the best rate. Here’s how it works.

Lowest rate, made easy

ALL.com is a booking platform that brings together some of the world’s biggest hotel brands – and snags their lowest possible price.

It has a range of over 40 different hotel brands that run the gauntlet from the big international luxury brands like Raffles through to trusted favourites like Sofitel and Novotel, plus economy heroes like ibis. All up, ALL.com boasts over 5,500 hotels available across 110 countries. And, for those trips where you need a bit more space to spread out, they even offer homes, apartments and villas.

Secure a great deal at big international luxury brands like Raffles through to trusted favourites like Sofitel and Novotel, plus economy heroes like ibis.

ALL.com works to ensure you the best rate in a couple of different ways. Firstly, ALL.com is created by Accor, the parent company behind those trusted hotel brands. So, by booking on ALL.com, you’re booking directly with the hotels themselves – which means there’s no middleman inflating the rate to take a sneaky cut, and any changes to your booking can be made simply without having to deal with a third party.

Secondly, the platform offers a best price guarantee – in the unlikely event you see a cheaper price within 24 hours of booking, ALL.com will beat it.

And to sweeten the deal even further, ALL.com also offers up to 10 per cent off every booking for those who join its free rewards program. So, you’re already getting the guaranteed best price going – then ALL.com takes up to another up to 10 per cent off that. How good.

Rewards? They’ve got ’em

Access to that exclusive members discount isn’t the only perk that comes with Accor’s free lifestyle loyalty programme – ALL. Depending on your status level, you’ll also get to access things like early check-in, late check-out, room upgrades and complimentary breakfast.

“It’s all those small things that go a long way when you’re travelling and away from home and help to make a trip that much more enjoyable,” says Christopher Mills, VP digital & loyalty at Accor.

You’ll also earn rewards points with every booking, which can be redeemed on future stays or used to unlock unique experiences. What’s great about the rewards program is how easy and transparent ALL.com makes it to redeem points.

“When you consider some other programs, you need to have the availability to benefit from it – you’re always searching for an airline seat or a particular hotel room in other programs,” says Mills. “For ours, 2000 points equals 40 Euro ($65 AUD). There’s no blackout dates. You can use it 365 days a year… That’s very powerful.” And if you’re a Qantas Frequent Flyer, you can even double dip your points – earning both ALL rewards points and Qantas Frequent Flyer points on the same booking.

“So it’s not that you have to pick one or the other,” Mills said. “You actually benefit from two sets of points for the same booking.”

Accessing the member’s rate is easy – simply sign up for the free rewards program on ALL.com (or the ALL.com app) and your discount will automatically be applied at checkout.

For all the best prices, book your next holiday on ALL.com.
