Brag about AAA - lowest hotel cost 69% of the time!
Although my head explodes about crap I deal with at work, from the consumer side, I have to brag about the latest industry study!
At least our member and non-member travelers are saving money despite the internal madness
*******************
The purpose of this email is to let you know about a PhoCusWright study conducted in December 2007 that found members who visit AAA.com to book a hotel room are more likely to find a better rate than on other leading Web sites.
In a review of several online travel booking sites, AAA.com offered AAA members the best publicly available rate on partner hotels 69 percent of the time. The survey compared rates on AAA.com to Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and AARP. AAA.com had the lowest rates 69 percent of the time for the 93 partner hotels included in the study, followed by AARP, 14 percent; Travelocity, 13 percent; Orbitz, 10 percent and Expedia 9 percent. Percentages included same-rate results. The online audit reviewed rates for leisure travel to top destinations for same dates of stay in a standard double room at 300 AAA Diamond-rated properties throughout the U.S. and Canada. It excluded corporate, military, government and industry discount rates.
