Answer by  optomyst (157)

The vast majority of hotel chains have a President's Club, or guest club, on their Corporate Websites, anybody can join these clubs for free. When you check into a hotel, in these chains, that is not fully booked, you will receive an automatic room upgrade. Off season is the best time to take advantage of this offer.

One of the easiest ways is to belong to a rewards or loyality program for a specific chain of hotels. Once you build up stays and points, they will start offering you rewards, priority booking, and even upgrades. It may take a little time, but the programs are free and just require staying at the hotel.

The best way to get free hotel room upgrades is to ask! The best time to call is at midnight-that's when the hotels will know of cancellations.

Just ask for a free upgrade. It is that simple. If the hotel has availability and values you as a client, you will be granted the better room.

The best way to get free hotel room upgrades is to sign up for their hotel frequent stay programs. If you are an avid traveller and stay at the same hotel, you can earn "points" and receive an upgrade.
