@JustinLaurenXO A7 - points, points annnnd, in case you were unsure, more points please! Though there are some good credit cards that give a free night each year which can have good value.

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A7: Simply being loyal to a brand helps. When staying in hotels, we look for @HiltonHotels or Hilton partners. I try to use @Expedia as well. We’ve scored many free nights that way! #InspireToWander

A7) Hotel points can be quite valuable, we often get great value out of them. Tip: When redeeming hotel points on rooms, sales and local taxes (which can be 10%+) are not charged! #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A7. I accumulate points through my travel card chase sapphire preferred. I use it for all my travel related purchases and I used my points to stay in London next to Buckingham Palace for a week in the summer so the points are pretty valuable. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO @inspiretowander A7: Yes! We are loyal @HiltonHonors members, and stay in them when we can find hotels large enough for our family. We love them! #InspireToWander

A7 Well, I'd share exactly how I manage to get free hotel stays, but apparently in some states it's called "breaking and entering". Also most foreign countries. And Vatican City. #inspiretowander

replying to @theanchoredblog @theanchoredblog @JustinLaurenXO @HiltonHotels @Expedia A7 #inspiretowander On the contrary, I'm not loyal but Brands can be useful as it gives you an idea of the standard you can expect. So, a brand I have used is SwissBel Hotel who are very common in Asia. The reason I like them is because they are good value for money.

A7: My go-to is usually the @hotelsdotcom stay 10 nights get 1 free, though I also collect @AIRMILES too! Both are free to use, so why not? I love free things! #InspireToWander

A7. Yes, we use #hiltonhonors to build up points. We get a lot of points in international hotels and #waldorfastoria . This is the one in #puertorico before the hurricane #InspireToWander
