Why can't I see Hotels Etc. member prices before I join?

Travel suppliers, hotels, and booking partners are contractually prohibited from publicly displaying many of their lowest member-only rates.

Hotels Etc. operates as a Closed User Group (CUG), meaning exclusive pricing is available only to registered members. Many travel suppliers participate in rate parity and narrow rate parity agreements, which restrict them from advertising their deepest discounts on publicly accessible websites.

Because of these industry agreements, member-only pricing cannot be displayed until you become a Hotels Etc. member and securely log into your account. This allows participating suppliers to offer wholesale and negotiated member-exclusive rates that are not available to the general public while remaining compliant with their contractual obligations.

Once you join Hotels Etc., you'll gain access to exclusive travel discounts across hotels, cruises, car rentals, entertainment, restaurants, shopping, and many other member-only offers available through our private travel savings platform.
