Additionally, activating email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, so you're more likely to see opportunities to save. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're promptly notified if rooms become available or prices decrease, making your last-minute getaway even more appealing.
