These days every major hotel chain has a reward program. Everyone from Motel 6 to Hilton has one, and when your trying to get that very special room at a fur con. And you hope to be fur deep in one. There is a good chance that hotel has a program.
I use to say if you plan on staying at that one hotel for more than 1 convention… sign up. But these days, hotels like Wyndham is offering a 10% discount just for signing up. 10% may not seem much. But when your staying at a hotel that is costing YOU roughly $600 for your stay. That is a good deal.
I got an unexpected discount from Hyatt when I snagged my hotel for Indy Fur Con. A $30 discount on one of my days, plus a 10% discount on the other. In plain English I am saving at least $100.
But it is not all discounts, there are some really nice perks if you stay enough times. I am not going to get into the details mainly because every hotel is different. The one I like is that 2 of them offer FREE DAYS after enough stays has passed.
Check out the hotel reward programs.
Your wallet will be happy.

My lack of interest in the sub-genre seems to be mirrored by the furry fandom at large (
