🧠 Luxury Hack of the Week
Why luxury travelers almost always book refundable rates
Refundable rooms are often cheaper than non-refundable once demand changes.
Pro move: book refundable now → recheck prices 2–3 weeks later → rebook lower → cancel the old one.
This is how frequent luxury travelers quietly save hundreds.
