How TripAdvisor Changed Travel

Look for a hotel on maps.google.com. There 90% chance that the hotel is offering the same price as OTAs. Book directly on the hotel site, and use their reward system to get points.

Most of the hotel offers the same rate as OTA. We - Hotel owner can't offer a cheaper rate than OTA.

I've found that some perks, like free cancellation, is only available on the hotels' sites for significantly more than OTAs. Also my CC gives me a 10% on some OTAs.

You will find two different prices on many hotels websites. A discounted prepaid non refundable price, and a flexible price allowing you to cancel up to a certain deadline. Works just like airlines.
