Get hotel deals delivered by SMS or Facebook Messenger faster than you can say, "Honey, pack your bags!"
Name: GetSnapTravel.com
What it does: The website uses private chat tools to reveal low hotel rates usually found on opaque travel inventory sources such as Priceline and Hotwire. Start at GetSnapTravel.com, select a destination and travel date, click on how you'd like to see your hotel deal (SMS or Facebook Messenger) and get instant results. Additional options allow you to filter your results, book, chat with an agent, get an initial discount or start another search.
What's hot: SnapTravel partners with Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Sabre, Amadeus, Priceline and other top hotel inventory providers. It also sources deals directly with hotels to bring you incredibly low rates. The website offers "Discounts up to 50 percent at 200,000+ hotels worldwide with messaging only pricing." However, I found deals for a trip to London marked at 61 percent off. Users can filter their deals by savings, hotel rating or price as well as adjust their maximum budget.
What's not: Be careful with your smartphone notification settings. If you're searching for destinations for a last-minute weekend getaway, your phone might buzz like crazy with alerts.
