Collins: Travel & Tourism Textbook for A2 level students, July 2006
It's cheap, it's tawdry - and it works. Hotels are the obvious target here, but you have to play hardball. Ask for their best offer at 8pm and they'll know they've got you over a barrel. Try the same trick at 3pm, when you could still haul your brazen hide elsewhere, and the discounts can come rolling in. The more outrageous the rack rate, the more they'll be willing to discount. There are two obvious drawbacks: one, it's a stressful game on the actual day you need the room; two, frankly, it's embarrassing.
