🏨 Book HotelsUnderstand Rooms, Rates, Taxes, Policies, and Benefits
A hotel may offer many room and rate combinations. Review the complete rate plan rather than choosing only the lowest displayed price. Room information Check: - Room name and category. - Bed type and number of beds. - Maximum occupancy. - Smoking or non-smoking designation. - Accessible-room information. - Room size or view, when provided. Hotel room names can vary by source. If a specific bed type is essential, review the written description and add a special request. A special request is not guaranteed unless the room type itself confirms it. Price information Review both: - Price per night. - Total price for the full stay. The total may include taxes and fees, but always review the final summary. Resort fees, local taxes, deposits, incidentals, or other hotel-collected charges may be payable at the property. Meal plans A rate may be: - Room only. - Breakfast included. - Breakfast available as a preferred benefit. - Another meal plan specified in the rate description. Confirm how many guests receive breakfast. “Breakfast included” may not always cover every person in a multi-guest room. Cancellation policy Read the cancellation policy for each room before booking. Important details include: - Free-cancellation deadline. - Hotel local time used for the deadline. - Cancellation fee after the deadline. - Whether the rate is non-refundable. - Whether the full stay or only certain nights may be charged. For multi-room bookings, different rooms can have different policies. Payment timing A rate may require: - Payment at the hotel. - A card guarantee. - Advance payment. - A deposit before arrival. Follow the exact payment wording in the selected rate. Loyalty eligibility Some rates may qualify for hotel loyalty points, elite-night credit, and elite recognition. Others may not. Review any loyalty or participation notice shown on the hotel or rate page. Preferred and VIP benefits Eligible rates may include benefits such as: - Daily breakfast. - Hotel credit. - Complimentary Wi-Fi. - Room upgrade, subject to availability. - Early check-in, subject to availability. - Late check-out, subject to availability. - Welcome amenity. Benefits are controlled by the selected rate and hotel. Do not promise a benefit that is not shown in the rate details. Price verification Before booking, the portal verifies the selected rate. If the price, availability, or policy changed, review the updated information before continuing.
Account and ProfileUnderstand the Dashboard and Navigation
The dashboard is the starting point for your day-to-day work in the FreeTravel Agent Portal. Dashboard overview The dashboard may show: - Commission or reward activity from eligible completed stays. - Total booking value. - Completed booking count. - Reward-point balance. - Current membership tier and reward rate. - Progress toward the next membership tier. - Recent bookings. - A Book a hotel shortcut. Figures may be updated at different times. For example, a completed stay may appear in your booking history before the related hotel commission is confirmed. Left navigation In your personal workspace, the left navigation normally includes: - Dashboard - Book a Hotel - Orders - Frequent Guests - Commission Payout - Membership - Settings - Payment methods - Affiliate Agreement - Privacy Policy In an agency workspace, the navigation may include: - Overview - Book a Hotel - Orders - Frequent Guests - Commission Payout for authorized roles - Members for authorized roles - Settings Collapse or open the navigation On a desktop, you may be able to collapse the left navigation to create more room for hotel search results. On a smaller screen, use the menu button to open the navigation drawer. User menu The user menu in the upper-right corner provides access to: - Account settings. - Account Security Center. - Sign out. Recent bookings Select a recent booking to open its details. Use the full Orders page when you need to search by guest name or order number, view cancellation terms, or review the commission timeline. Keep the correct workspace active The most common navigation mistake is starting a personal booking when the reservation should belong to an agency, or the reverse. Before selecting Book a Hotel, check the workspace name near the bottom of the left navigation.
🏨 Book HotelsUnderstand Hotel Loyalty Credit and Elite Benefits
One of TripO's key goals is to make professional hotel rates available while preserving hotel loyalty participation when the hotel and rate permit it. Possible loyalty benefits An eligible booking may receive: - Hotel loyalty points. - Elite-night or qualifying-stay credit. - Recognition of the guest's elite status. - Elite benefits offered by the hotel program. - Co-branded credit card rewards, subject to the card issuer's rules. Loyalty participation is rate-specific A hotel may offer both participating and non-participating rates. Always check the selected rate and any hotel-program notice. A loyalty number on the reservation does not itself guarantee credit. Add the correct loyalty number 1. Save the guest in Frequent Guests. 2. Add the loyalty membership for the correct hotel group. 3. Select the saved guest during booking. 4. Confirm that the loyalty number appears before booking. 5. Ask the guest to verify the reservation in the hotel group's app or website when available. Elite benefits Elite benefits are provided under the hotel program's rules and may depend on: - Guest status at check-in. - Participating hotel and brand. - Selected rate. - Availability at arrival. - Length of stay. Room upgrades, early check-in, and late check-out are often subject to availability. Known participation exceptions Some hotels or rate types may not participate in a larger hotel group's loyalty program even when the property is associated with that group. The hotel detail page may display a participation warning. Some regional or net rates may also be non-commissionable while still being bookable. Missing points after a stay Advise the guest to keep the hotel folio and confirmation number. The guest can submit a missing-stay request directly to the hotel loyalty program. FreeTravel can provide booking records, but the hotel program makes the final decision on points and elite credit. Do not make absolute promises Use language such as “expected to be eligible” or “the selected rate shows loyalty participation” rather than guaranteeing points or elite benefits.
