Gopher - Better hotel deals automatically, every time + cash back

by

A free chrome extension that helps travelers save time & money on hotels! Gopher pops up when you're viewing a hotel on major travel sites and shows a better deal via the hotel's official site through lower room rates, cash back, or both! With one simple click, you'll receive a trusted reservation and any loyalty or direct booking benefits offered.

I've been using Gopher for well over a month now and can say the experience has been great. Receiving cash back on every trip I book has enabled me to travel more and worry about prices less.

Pros:

It's completely free to use and it makes me money!

Very intuitive and essentially requires no additional work.

Cons:

None, and there are no noteworthy alternatives.

It’s awesome to have an early adopter on here. Glad to hear you’ve had such a positive experience!

I was recently introduced to Gopher so I didn't get to use it over summer when I booked a reservation, but for my next trip/vacation, I will definitely use Gopher.

Pros:

It reminds me of Honey which gives deals and cash back when online shopping, and to have that for deals and cash back on hotels is amazing!

Cons:

None.

Great to hear you love the concept. I would love to know your thoughts on user experience after you’ve booked with Gopher's help! By the way, the key differences between Gopher and Honey is that 1) Gopher work with all hotels versus a subset, and 2) You still qualify for the hotel's loyalty rewards, points, perks, and other personalized benefits because you're booking directly with the hotel.

Booking direct is the way to go. Earn loyalty points, plus cash back.

Pros:

I earned cash back and was able to redeem for Bitcoins on top of earning my loyalty points at Marriott.

Cons:

Can't think of one.

I have booked a few hotels already using Gopher and it has saved me money and time. I haven't been able to find another service that gets me better rates than Gopher and it's much faster than searching all over the internet!

Pros:

Works for tons of hotels, easy to use, always get best rates

Cons:

Nothing!

@meineleserei Thanks for the kind words. The great thing about Gopher is once you download him, he'll be there ready to help as soon as you're searching around for your next hotel (and won't bother you until then). I hope you find a great week-end getaway, and safe travels!

If only I had a gopher for airfare and rentals as well, I would probably go on more business trips as I would spend less time administratively planning them...

Pros:

Gopher is easy to use, non-intrusive and an amazing time-saver. Everyone who travels should use gopher, whether for pleasure or business!

Cons:

None so far

Ease of use is huge for us, so I’m glad that was your experience. Thank you for the feedback about added features. Anything is possible, but for right now we are working towards integrating all hotels first.

@livejamie Always a possibility, but we want to transform the hotel booking space first. Where do you usually book hotel, flight, and car reservations?
Jamie Martin
@livejamie @michaelatjoingopher Kayak or Hipmunk usually to find the prices and then I like to book directly. A request: It's annoying for your app to automatically open a page that autoplays a video with sound, meaning I have to close out of that on every one of my devices when I start Chrome up.

@livejamie thanks for the info on how you book and appreciate the feedback on the video that autoplays. We're deploying an update so the video autoplays muted.
