When we wrote about the many ways you could earn JPMiles this summer season, a reader wrote back about how he earns himself a free ticket ever so often to visit his fiancé who lives in a different city. You can too! There are many ways you can make JPMiles without flying, including spending on a co-branded credit card, shopping online and dining to name a few.  Another great way to earn bonus JPMiles is by booking your hotel stays using the all-new JetPrivilege Hotels booking site.

This year, JetPrivilege has enhanced the hotels offering by partnering with many top-end hotel booking websites, which allow you to earn JPMiles when you book your stays through hotels.jetprivilege.com. It helps when you do not pay anything extra but still earn miles for your stay. Especially works for hotels where you don’t have a loyalty program at all, which would be the case with most of the hotels in India.

Let’s walk you through the various features of the new JetPrivilege hotels website. All you have to do is log onto hotels.jetprivilege.com, enter the destination or the hotel name, plug in the dates and then search. And it will show you all the hotel(s) that are available on your particular dates, right from budget homestays all the way to luxury hotels.

Earn JPMiles for Hotels Anywhere and Everywhere

Summer vacations are coming, and a lot of us must be planning holidays with families. This is an excellent time to head up to the mountains for a break. For instance, there are more than 250 options in Shimla during the summers, with homestays starting INR 1200 on one end and luxury resorts going above INR 20,000 on the other.

A significant feature of the website is that it also shows how many JPMiles you will earn with each of the property you choose to book. For example, if you book a stay at the Chapslee Hill Resort with an OTA, you get nothing additional in return for your money, apart from the stay. However booking via JetPrivilege Hotels, you are earning almost 1000 JPMiles for the stay and still getting a right price.

Compare rates from various sites

Another nice feature of the website is that it assimilates prices from all partner hotel portals and shows all comparable prices to you, allowing you to pick according to your circumstances. For instance, you could choose from free cancellations to non-refundable rates to pay-at-hotel rates.

See Tripadvisor reviews

The site is integrated with TripAdvisor, which makes it easy to read user reviews when considering your options. Not just that, you can filter hotels by reviews. This is sure going to be helpful you are thinking about staying at a hotel for the first time. And if you want to rack up additional miles, then writing reviews on TripAdvisor can earn you up to 1525 JPMiles per month.

Book hotels anywhere in the world

The JetPrivilege hotels website offers inventory at over a million hotels worldwide. You can find bed and breakfast in Central Paris, a villa for the entire family in Bali or a pet-friendly weekend getaway a few hours drive from Bangalore.
