Just realized my "book a room last minute" trick actually costs me money

I used to think booking hotels an hour before check-in on apps like HotelTonight saved me a bundle, but a front desk clerk in Nashville told me I was paying 30 percent more than their loyalty members. She showed me the rate sheet and I was shocked I had been overpaying for years. Anyone else find that joining a hotel rewards program beats the last minute deals?

Last minute deals work if you know how to play the game right.

Why do people never learn that loyalty programs actually pay off? I found that out the hard way with airlines too. Last minute bookings are a sucker's game.

30% seems like a lot, but is it really worth obsessing over @robinp89?
