Drop the Hints

The key is to drop subtle hints without being that person that is blatantly flaunting or prying for deals.  For example, if you're going out to celebrate for whatever reason, let them know maybe what the occasion is when you call to book. A simple little "we're so excited to celebrate _______ this weekend at your resort/restaurant/facility. A lot of times organizations will treat you to a little bonus because it looks good on them, and then they're obviously going to get a good review out of you. So really, them helping you a little will help them a little in the long run. 

Try it out!  Have you ever gotten any great upgrades/bonuses by mentioning a special occasion?

Happy Saving!
