About Me And This Blog
For those of you not familiar with my blogging history, I started out posting "BRG deals" as a contributor on the now retired "The Best Rate Guarantee Blog", along with another gentleman residing in Calgary, Canada (he founded and ran that blog - eventually bringing me on board as a full-time partner). In those days, we highlighted BRG opportunities that were found for all of the Wyndham-brand chain hotels (a free night deal similar to the Choice/IHG programs).
Shortly after the Wyndham BRG program fell by the wayside, I took over, finding myself doing the vast majority of the posting. I transitioned to Expedia BRG deals, and later Choice. At this point (April 2009 I believe), the Wyndham BRG downgraded from a free night deal to a "10% off the lower rate found" non-deal! Due to all of my hard work and my blog partner's interest in pursuing other projects, I was given a 75% ownership in the blog. At this point in time, with 2015 right around the corner, I felt the need to start new and go on my own (100%) in this endeavor. That's when I ventured off (solo) to this site, "The BRG Deals Blog". We are now a mix of hotel deals, some rate errors (YMMV on these) and BRG opportunities for Choice Hotels and others.
For many years now, I've thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of finding these deals and also sharing them so that others can benefit. Once I was able to help out a few folks with saving some cash along the way, it became a personal satisfaction for me!
I encourage you to bookmark this site! There are numerous lessons, affiliate links, etc. to assist you in obtaining the best hotel deals and finding BRGs (even if they're yours and not mine!), so feel free to use/read them if you haven't already.
Thanks for your continued loyalty!
