I've been using Gopher for well over a month now and can say the experience has been great. Receiving cash back on every trip I book has enabled me to travel more and worry about prices less.
The charitable donation redemption option is awesome. I book travel for work pretty often, so that’s a cool way to use rewards earned from business travel
Booking direct is the way to go. Earn loyalty points, plus cash back.
I have booked a few hotels already using Gopher and it has saved me money and time. I haven't been able to find another service that gets me better rates than Gopher and it's much faster than searching all over the internet!
If only I had a gopher for airfare and rentals as well, I would probably go on more business trips as I would spend less time administratively planning them...
It’s really just an easy way to get the best price on a hotel without going to a million different websites. I use Expedia a lot - mainly just for the convenience of seeing all of the hotels in the area - but have had my fair share of problems with it. This seems like it could really wipe out those issues once all hotels are available for instant booking.
Reminds me of Honey, but for hotels. I don’t travel often, so it’s nice to have him pop up and remind me there are better rates- instead of having to remember a site or an app every time I want to book a hotel.
I was recently introduced to Gopher so I didn't get to use it over summer when I booked a reservation, but for my next trip/vacation, I will definitely use Gopher.
